    In the fission of uranium, 0.5 g mass is decayed, then how much energy will be obtained by it?

    A)  \[1.25\text{ }kWh\]                      

    B)  \[1.25\times {{10}^{7}}kWh\]

    C)  \[0.25\text{ }kWh\]                      

    D)  \[1.25\times {{10}^{4}}kWh\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    From Einsteins mass-energy relation, we get \[\Delta E=\Delta m{{c}^{2}}\] where c is speed of light. Am the difference in mass. Given,   \[\Delta m=0.5\text{ }g=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}kg,\] \[c=(3\times {{10}^{8}})\text{ }m/s\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta E=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\times {{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Delta E=0.5\times 9\times {{10}^{13}}J\] Also,      \[1\text{ }kWh=36\times {{10}^{5}}J\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta E=\frac{0.5\times 9\times {{10}^{13}}}{36\times {{10}^{5}}}kWh\] \[\Delta E=1.25\times {{10}^{7}}kWh\]
