In a nuclear fission, 0.1% mass is converted into energy. The energy released by fission of 1 kg mass is :

A

`9 xx 10^(19)` J

B

`9 xx 10^(17)` J

C

`9 xx 10^(16)` J

D

`9 xx 10^(13)` J.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`E = Deltamc^(2) = (0.1 xx 1 xx (3xx 10^(8))^(2) )/(100) = 9 xx 10^(13)` J
