The power obtained in a reactor using `U^(235)` disintergration is `1000kW`. The mass decay of `U^(235)` per hour is

A

`1` microgram

B

`10` microgram

C

`20`microgram

D

`40`microgram

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`E = Pt = mc^(2)`
`1000 xx 10^(3) xx 3600 = mxx(3xx10^(8))^(2)`
`m = (36xx10^(8))/(9xx10^(16)) = 4xx10^(-8) kg = 4xx10^(-5)g`
`= 40 xx 10^(-6)g = 40` microgram
