Question

In a nuclear reaction, the energy released is equal to 5.4 x 10^15 joules.

Answer 2

normally einstein's equation is just listed as E = mc^2, but in nuclear reactions it's more like\[E = \Delta m*c^{2}\] in order to release energy, a small amount of mass must be lost by the system. Normally that lost mass is far too little to be measured on a laboratory balance, but in nuclear equations that lost mass becomes significant. You're given E (5.4*10^15J), c is a constant (2.998x10^8m/s) solve for Dm
