Consider the I-131 nucleus that is used to treat thyroid. Mass of I-131 is 130.78302 amu. Answer the following questions about this nucleus. 1) Calculate the amount of energy released in kJ/mol for the fission reaction of I-131 when it is bombarded with a neutron and produce Rb-89 (mass= 88.89016 amu) and S-38(mass=37.9015 amu). {Hint: you need to write the balanced nuclear reaction before you perform the calculations).
