If in nuclear fission of a piece of uranium, 0.5 g mass is lost, how much energy in kWh is obtained?
Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To find the energy obtained from the nuclear fission of uranium when 0.5 grams of mass is lost, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Convert the mass lost from grams to kilograms
Given that the mass lost is 0.5 grams, we convert this to kilograms:
\[
\Delta m = 0.5 \, \text{g} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg} = 0.0005 \, \text{kg}
\]
