Chapter 17, Problem 91E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The energy produced per mole and per kilogram on fission of the nucleus $\text{U-235}$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear fission is splitting of the atom which produces free neutrons and photons along with release of huge amount of energy.

The molar mass of uranium is equal to $235\text{ g}$.

One mole is equal to $6.022\times {10}^{23}\text{ atoms}$.

One mole of any substance has a mass equal to its molar mass.

One kilogram is equal to $1000\text{ g}$.
