A heavy nucleus having mass number 200200 gets disintegrated into smaller fragments of mass number 8080 and 120120. If binding energy per nucleon for parent atom is 6.5eV\text{6.5}eV and for daughter nuclei are 7eV7eV and 8eV8eV respectively and the energy released in the decay is given by X×105eVX \times {10}^{5}eV, then XX will be

Correct answer

2200

Step-by-step solution

200X → 80Y + 120Z
6.5 7 8
Energy released = 80 × 7 + 120 × 8 – 200 × 6.5
= 220 MeV
= 2200 × 105 eV
