During the fission of an atom of uranium-235, 200. Mev are released. Calculate how many fissions must take place each second to release 1.0 kilowatt of power. _____ fissions/s 1.3 x 1018 3.2 x 1013 6.3 x 1015 3.1 x 1025

Respuesta :

The number of fissions that must take place is X= 3.2 x 1013 fissions/s

Calculation of number of fissions

Let x be number of fissions per second.

Each fission produces = 200 MeV.

X = 200×10⁶eV is produced in one second by x fissions.

But 1 eV =1.6×10−¹⁹ J

Power produced = 200×10⁶ × 1.6×10−¹⁹Joule per second.

But, 1000 J/s = 1 kW.

The required power is 1 kW.

X for 1 kW = 200×10⁶ × 1.6×10−¹⁹× 10³

X= 3.2 x 1013 fissions/s
