How to find energy released by 1kg of Uranium-235? (Tell me the answer in step by step) |
| Answer» The atomic mass of 235U is approximately\xa0235 u, so the are 0.235\xa0kg of uranium\xa0per mole. The total binding\xa0energy released\xa0in\xa0fission\xa0of an atomic nucleus varies with the precise break up, but averages about 200 MeV* for U-235 or 3.2 x 10-11\xa0joule. This is about 82 TJ/kg. That from U-233 is about the same, and that from Pu-239 is about 210 MeV* per\xa0fission. | |
