The correct Answer is:
To calculate the energy liberated on the complete fission of 1 kg of Uranium-235 (\( _{92}^{235}U \)), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of nuclei in 1 kg of \( _{92}^{235}U \) 1. **Calculate the molar mass of \( _{92}^{235}U \)**: The atomic mass of \( _{92}^{235}U \) is approximately 235 g/mol. 2. **Convert 1 kg to grams**: \[ 1 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g} \] 3. **Calculate the number of moles in 1 kg of \( _{92}^{235}U \)**: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{1000 \text{ g}}{235 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 4.255 \text{ mol} \] 4. **Calculate the number of nuclei**: Using Avogadro's number (\( 6.022 \times 10^{23} \) nuclei/mol): \[ \text{Number of nuclei} = \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Avogadro's number} = 4.255 \text{ mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ nuclei/mol} \approx 2.56 \times 10^{24} \text{ nuclei} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the total energy released 1. **Energy released per fission**: Given that the energy released on fission of one nucleus is \( 200 \text{ MeV} \). 2. **Calculate the total energy released**: \[ \text{Total energy} = \text{Number of nuclei} \times \text{Energy per nucleus} = 2.56 \times 10^{24} \text{ nuclei} \times 200 \text{ MeV} \] \[ = 5.12 \times 10^{26} \text{ MeV} \] ### Step 3: Convert energy from MeV to Joules 1. **Conversion factor**: \( 1 \text{ MeV} = 1.6 \times 10^{-13} \text{ Joules} \) 2. **Convert total energy to Joules**: \[ \text{Total energy in Joules} = 5.12 \times 10^{26} \text{ MeV} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13} \text{ Joules/MeV} \] \[ = 8.192 \times 10^{13} \text{ Joules} \] ### Final Result The energy liberated on complete fission of 1 kg of \( _{92}^{235}U \) is approximately \( 8.19 \times 10^{13} \text{ Joules} \). ---
