The energy released per fission is 200Mev .Compute the energy released in joule if 100g if Uranium-235 is fissioned .

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

The number of atoms in 100 g of U-235 is $N=\frac{100}{235}\times 6.23\times {10}^{23}=2.65\times {10}^{23}$.
So total energy emitted by it will be $E=2.65\times {10}^{23}\times 200 \text{Mev}=2.65\times {10}^{23}\times 200\times 1.6\times {10}^{-13} \text{J}=8.48\times {10}^{12 }\text{J}$.
