Because A = 235 for uranium, one mole of this isotope has a mass of 235 g.
Let us take 1000 kg of uranium and we will calculate what amount of energy can be produced by this amount of uranium.
The number of nuclei in 1000 kg of uranium
N=235g1.0×106g×6.02×1023nuclei=2.56×1027nuclei
The total energy released when all nuclei undergo fission
E=NQ=2.56×1027muclei×208MeV/nucleus=5.32×1029MeV
Proportion:
1000 kg of uranium = 5.32 \times 10^{29} \;MeV
x kg of uranium = 2.0625 \times 10^{29} \;MeV
x=5.32×1029MeV1000kg×2.0625×1029MeV=0.387×10−3kg=0.387g
Answer: 0.387 g
