The energy released during the fission of1 kgofU235isE1and that produced during the fusion of1 kgof hydrogen isE2. If energy released per fission of Uranium -235 is 200 MeV and that per fusion of hydrogen is 24.7 MeV, then the ratioE2E1is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Number of fissions that can occur in1 kgofU235isn1=NA235 kg :NAis the Avogadro number.

Number of fusions that can occur for1 kgof hydrogen isn2=NA/1 kg4, because4hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium nuclei.

E2E1=n2×24.7 MeVn1×200MeV=235×24.74×200=7.25(approx)

=7
