Problem

Identify the correct mathematical expression for the percentage of the initial mass that is converted into energy in a nuclear reaction, if the mass defect is

\Delta m

and the total initial mass of the reactants is

M

. a)

\dfrac{\Delta m c^{2}}{M}\times 100\%

\dfrac{\Delta m}{M c^{2}}\times 100\%

\dfrac{\Delta m}{M}\times 100\%

\dfrac{M}{\Delta m}\times 100\%
