Atoms And Nuclei Question 240

Question: The energy liberated on complete fission of 1 kg of 92U235 is (Assume 200 MeV energy is liberated on fission of 1 nucleus) [UPSEAT 2003]

Options:

A) 8.2×1010J

B) 8.2×109J

C) 8.2×1013J

D) 8.2×1016J

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Mass of a uranium nucleus

=92×1.6725×1027+143×1.6747×1027

=393.35×1027kg Number of nuclei in the given mass

=1393.35×1027=2.542×1024

Energy released =200×2.542×1024MeV

=5.08×1026MeV=8.135×1013J=8.2×1013J
