    When \[_{\text{92}}{{\text{U}}^{\text{235}}}\] undergoes fission, 0.1% its original mass is changed into energy. How much energy is released if 1 kg of \[_{\text{92}}\text{ }{{\text{U}}^{\text{235}}}\] undergoes fission?

    A) \[\text{9}\times \text{1}{{0}^{\text{1}0}}\text{ J}\]                        

    B)  \[\text{9}\times \text{1}{{0}^{\text{11}}}\text{ J}\]

    C) \[\text{9}\times \text{1}{{0}^{\text{12}}}\text{ J}\]                        

    D)  \[\text{9}\times \text{1}{{0}^{13}}\text{J}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     From Einsteins mass-energy equivalence we have \[\Delta E=\Delta m{{c}^{2}}\]where \[\Delta m\] is change in mass, c the speed of light. Given,   \[\Delta m=\frac{0.1}{100}={{10}^{-3}}kg\]                 \[\Delta \,E={{10}^{-3}}\times {{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}\]                 \[=9\times {{10}^{3}}J\]
