When .92 U^235 undergoes fission, 0.1 % ...

When `._92 U^235` undergoes fission, `0.1 %` of its original mass is changed into energy. How much energy is released if `1 kg` of `._92 U^235` undergoes fission ?

A

`9 xx 10^(10) J`

B

`9 xx 10^(11) J`

C

`9 xx 10^(12) J`

D

`9 xx 10^(13) J`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`E = mc^(2) = (1xx0.1)/(100)xx(3xx10^(8))^(2) = 9xx10^(13) J`
