The energy released in the fission of 1 kg of `_(92)U^(235)` is (energy per fission = 200 MeV)

A

A)`5.1xx10^(26)eV`

B

B)`5.1xx10^(26)J`

C

C)`8.2xx10^(13)J`

D

D)`8.2xx10^(13)MeV`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Energy released from 1 kg of uranium `=(200xx10^(6)xx1.6xx10^(-19)xx6.023xx10^(26))/(235)`
`=8.2xx10^(13)J`
