In a fission event of ²³⁸₉₂U by fast moving neutrons, no neutrons are emitted and final products, after the beta decay of the primary fragments, are ¹⁴⁰₅₈Ce and ⁹⁹₄₄Ru. Calculate Q for this process. Neglect the masses of electrons/positrons emitted during the intermediate steps. Given: m(²³⁸₉₂U) = 238.05079u; m(¹⁴⁰₅₈Ce) = 139.90543u m(⁹⁹₄₄Ru) = 98.90594u; m(¹₀n) = 1.008665u
