Rdaioactive  decay results in the formation of a different element. Plutonium decays by emitting alpha emission to form uranium. Thermal energy is emitted as the alpha particles are absorbed and the kinetic energy  is converted to heat. The amount of energy is computed by the formula;
E = mc²
E = 0.000046 × (3 ×10^8) 
 Energy = 4.14 ×10^13 Joules

Why does distillation produce pure water but filtration does not?
ASHA 777 [7]

Filtration is used to separate large particles but this process does not provide pure solutions as some impurities still remain in the solution. On the other hand, distillation helps in the formation of pure water as it removes the impurities from the water or solution.
