Assertion: Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion.
Reason: For heavy nuclei,binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing $Z$,while for light nuclei,it decreases with increasing $Z$.

How much $MeV$ energy is emitted by the fission of one nucleus of uranium-$235$ (in $MeV$)?

The energy released in the fusion of $2 \ kg$ of hydrogen deep in the sun is $E_{H}$ and the energy released in the fission of $2 \ kg$ of ${ }^{235} U$ is $E_U$. The ratio $\frac{E_H}{E_U}$ is approximately :
(Consider the fusion reaction as $4{ }_1^1 H + 2 e^{-} \rightarrow { }_2^4 He + 2 \nu + 6 \gamma + 26.7 \ MeV$,energy released in the fission reaction of ${ }^{235} U$ is $200 \ MeV$ per fission nucleus and $N_{A} = 6.023 \times 10^{23}$ )

What is the amount of $U^{235}$ in $kg$ consumed per hour in a nuclear reactor of $100 \, kW$ capacity? (Given $E_s = 200 \, MeV/fission$)

The energy liberated on complete fission of $1\, kg$ of $_{92}{U^{235}}$ is (Assume $200\, MeV$ energy is liberated on fission of $1$ nucleus).
