Precise measurements give the following masses:
nuclide
particle
mass
mass
239.

5.4858 x 10u
Now consider the following nuclear reaction:
239
He 06 Cm + on
242
94 Pu +
Oreleased
O absorbed
Is energy released or absorbed by this reaction?
O neither released
nor absorbed
OI need more
information to
decide.
If you said energy was released or absorbed, calculate
how much energy is released or absorbed.
Give your answer in both kJ/mol and MeV. Be sure each
of your answer entries has the correct number of
significant digits.
OJmol
MeV
Note: take particular care to keep enough digits in any
intermediate calculation, and use enough digits in any
scientific constants you need, since the data with which
you are working are very precise.
