Nuclear fission is a process by which the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, known as fission products. The fission of heavy elements is an exothermic reaction, and huge amounts of energy are released in the process.
<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

where,
q = amount of heat absorbed = ?
m = mass of water = 10 grams
= latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
So that people don’t break laws or drive under the influence.
