Step 1: Given data

The mass of ${}^{52}C r, m_{c r} = 51.94051 u$

The mass of ${}^{26}M g, m_{M g} = 25.98259 u$

Step 2: Determine the formula to calculate the disintegrated energy.

The expression to calculate the disintegrated energy is given as follows.

$Q = ‐ ∆ m c^{2} Q = (m_{C r} ‐ 2 m_{M g}) c^{2}$ ...(i)

Step 3: Calculate the value of disintegrated energy.

Consider the fission reaction as given follow.

${}^{52}C r \to {}^{26}M g + {}^{26}M g$

Calculate the disintegrated energy.

Substitute $51.94051 u$ for $m_{C r}$ , $25.98259 u$ for $M_{M g}$ and $931.5 M e V / u$ for $c^{2}$ into equation (i).

$Q = (51.9405 u - 2 \times 25.98259 u) 931.5 MeV / u Q = - 0.02467 \times 931.5 MeV Q = - 23 MeV$

Hence the disintegrated energy is $- 23 MeV$ .
