Calculate the energy equivalent of 1g of...

Calculate the energy equivalent of 1g of substance.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Energy, `E=10^(-3)xx(3xx10^(8))^(2)J`
`E=10^(-3)xx9xx10^(16)=9xx10^(13)J`
Thus, if one gram of matter is converted to energy, there is a release of enormous amount of energy.
