Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation for the decay of U-235 due to neutrons bombardment needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A
(b)
Interpretation:
The value of change in energy for fission of 1 g of U-235 needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The mass defect for any nuclear reaction is the change in masses of the species involved in the process.
For a general nuclear reaction as follows:
The mass defect can be calculated as follows:
Here, m is
From the mass defect, the change in energy can be calculated as follows:
Here,
(c)
Interpretation:
The mass of TNT needed to produce the energy same as produced from 1 mg of U-235 needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
