The reaction is X²? → Y¹²? + Z¹²?
Binding energies per nucleon are: X=7.6 MeV, Y=8.5 MeV, Z=8.5 MeV.
Gain in binding energy (Q) = (Binding energy of products) - (Binding energy of reactants)
Q = (120 * 8.5 + 120 * 8.5) - (240 * 7.6) MeV
Q = (2 * 120 * 8.5) - (240 * 7.6) MeV = 2040 - 1824 = 216 MeV.

A = Activity = λN = (ln (2)/t? /? ) N
N = (1.5*10? ³ / 198) * 6*10²³
A = (0.693 / (2.7*24*3600) * (1.5*10? ³ / 198) * 6*10²³ disintegration/s
A ≈ 1.32 * 10¹³ Bq = (1.32*10¹³ / 3.7*10¹? ) Ci ≈ 357 Ci

N? /N? = e?
For 33% decay, N? /N? = 0.67 ≈ 2/3.
2/3 = e? ⇒ t? = (1/λ)ln (3/2)
For 67% decay, N? /N? = 0.33 ≈ 1/3.
1/3 = e? ⇒ t? = (1/λ)ln (3)
Δt = t? - t? = (1/λ) [ln (3) - ln (3/2)] = (1/λ)ln (2) = T? /? = 20 min
