Problem

Calculate the total energy liberated (in joule) if

1\,\text{g}

^{235}\text{U}

undergoes complete fission. Assume

200\,\text{MeV}

is released per fission and Avogadro’s number is

6.02\times10^{23}\,\text{mol}^{-1}

. a)

4\times10^{8}\,\text{J}

2\times10^{13}\,\text{J}

8\times10^{10}\,\text{J}

8\times10^{11}\,\text{J}
