3. How much energy is released in the fission of 1 kg of 235U according to theequation below? The experimentally determined masses of the products are136.92532 amu and 96.91095 amu, respectively. (The masses of 235U andneutron are:235.0439231 amu and 1.0086649 amu, respectively.)137,235U + on52Te + 6Zr + 2½n13Zr + 23n4. How many liters of gasoline would have to undergo combustion to providethe same quantity of energy as that released by the fission of one kilogramof 235U to produce 137Te and 97Zr in #3?

The theory of nuclear astrophysics is that all the heavy elements like uranium are formed in the interior of massive stars. These stars eventually explode, releasing the elements into space. If we assume that at the time of explosion there were equal amounts of 235U and 238U, 235 how long ago were the elements that formed our Earth released, given that the present U/238U ratio is 0.007?
