Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\text{Roughly a million times greater}}.[/tex]
Explanation:
For example, the energy released in burning 1 mol of octane, a component of gasoline, is about 5000 kJ.
The energy released in the fission of 1 mol of uranium-235 is
about 1.5 × 10¹⁰ kJ .
The ratio is
[tex]\dfrac{1.5 \times 10^{10} }{5000} \approx 3 \times 10^{6}\\\\\text{The energy released by nuclear reactions is } \boxed{\textbf{roughly a million times greater}}\\\text{ than that released during chemical reactions.}[/tex]
The energy released during chemical reactions is much greater than the energy released per mole of reactant during nuclear reactions.
A nuclear reaction can be defined as a type of reaction in which the nucleus of an atom of a radioactive element is transformed by being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom and it is accompanied by the release of great amount if energy.
A chemical reaction refers to a chemical process that involves the continuous transformation (rearrangement) of the ionic, atomic or molecular structure of a chemical element by breaking down and forming chemical bonds, in order to produce a new chemical compound.
In conclusion, the energy released per mole of reactant during chemical reactions is much greater than the energy released per mole of reactant during nuclear reactions.
