To solve the problem of how much energy is released if all the atoms in 1 kg of pure \( _{94}^{239}Pu \) undergo fission, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of atoms in 1 kg of \( _{94}^{239}Pu \) First, we need to calculate the number of atoms in 1 kg of \( _{94}^{239}Pu \). The number of atoms can be calculated using Avogadro's number and the molar mass of \( _{94}^{239}Pu \). 1. The molar mass of \( _{94}^{239}Pu \) is approximately 239 g/mol. 2. We convert 1 kg to grams: \( 1 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g} \). ...
