c. In a nuclear fission reaction, a nuclide \(^{235}U_{92}\) is bombarded with a neutron to produce \(^{93}Kr_{36}\) and \(^{141}Ba_{56}\) with additional neutrons, the energy involved in the process is Q.

[mass of \(^{235}U_{92}\) = 235.044 u, mass of \(^{93}Kr_ {36}\) = 91.898 u, mass of \(^{141}Ba_ {56}\) = 140.914 u,

mass of neutron = 1.009u, 1u = \(1.66 \times 10^{27}\) kg, c = 3.0 × \(10^8ms^1\)]
