When U235   undergoes fission, 0.05% of its original mass is changed into energy. How much energy is released if 2kg of  U235 undergoes fission?

a
9×1013J
b
1×1013J
c
9×1012J
d
1×1012J

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Mass fissioned =0.05100×2kg=10−3kg Now using E=mc2,  ⇒E=10−3×9×1016 ⇒E=9×1013J
