The energy released when 1 g of 235U92 finally undergoes fission is
12.75 × 10⁷ kJ
16.40 × 10⁷ kJ
8.20 × 10⁷ kJ
6.50 × 10⁶ kJ
Correct answer: 8.20 × 10⁷ kJ
Solution
The energy released per fission of 1 atom of 235U is approximately 200 MeV. Using Avogadro's number and the molar mass of uranium, the energy released for 1 g of 235U can be calculated, which matches option C.
