Answer:

Energy= 2.7758 × 10^-11 J ;

71.112×10^-6 kJ.

Mass defect in Kilogram= 3.0885×10^-28 kg.

That is; 3.1×10^-28 kg(to two significant figure).

Explanation:

(Note: Check equation of reaction in the attached file/picture).

STEP ONE: we have to calculate the Mass defect.

Mass defect= Mass of reactants -- Mass of products.

Mass of the products: (140.9144+91.9262+3.060) u.

= 235.8666 u.

Mass of reactants: (1.0087+235.0439) u= 236.0526 u.

Therefore, the Mass defect= (236.0526 -- 235.8666) u

= 0.1860 u.

STEP TWO: Converting the Mass defect to energy;

0.18860 × 1.6605 × 10^27 kg

= 3.0885× 10^-28 kg

STEP THREE: Calculating energy released . Recall(from the question) c^2= 931.5 Mev/u. This is also equals to 9×10^16 m/s.

E=Mc^2.

Where E= energy released, c= speed of light, M= Mass.

Slotting in the values;

E= 3.0885×10^-28 kg × 9×10^16 m/s.

E=2.7758 × 10^-11 J.

Know that;( 1g of uranium × 1 mol of uranium ÷ 235.0439 g of uranium) × (6.002×10^23 atom of uranium/ 1 mol of uranium) × 2.7758× 10^-11.

=7.1112×10^-10 J

= 71.112×10^6 kJ.

How is it possible for there to be more than one kind of atom of the same element?
tiny-mole [99]

They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.


The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons


It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.


Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.
