Practise calculating energy released in spontaneous or neutron-induced fission from mass defect or increased product binding energy and converting energy per event to power.
This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about energy resources. Part 2 is about thermal physics.
Part 1 Energy resources
Electricity can be generated using nuclear fission, by burning fossil fuels or using pump storage hydroelectric schemes.
Fission of one uranium-235 nucleus releases 203 MeV .
Determine the maximum amount of energy, in joule, released by 1.0 g of uranium-235 as a result of fission.
( 203 MeV is equivalent to) 3.25×10−11 J;
6.02×1023 nuclei have a mass of 235 g/ evaluates number of nuclei;
( 2.56×1021 nuclei produce) 8.32×1010 J/ multiplies two previous answers;
