Question

If no of nucleons in a nuclear reaction in conserved how is it possible to release energy

Answer 1

in a nucleus reaction the total energy is conserved . the "missing" rest mass must therefore reappear as kinetic energy released in the reaction it's source is the nuclear binding energy using Einstein mass energy equivalence formula E = MC 2 ,the amount of energy released can be determind
