Exactly 5 grams of antimatter will completely annihilate 5 grams of matter, producing an enormous shower of high energy gamma rays. In total a mass of 10 grams will be converted to the equivalent amount of energy.

Any amount of antimatter will "react with" (annihilate) the same amount of matter. If you want total annihilation of both, you need the same amount of each.

10 grams of mass (5 grams of antimatter plus 5 grams of matter) translates to a truly stupendous amount of energy: 900000000 MJ, or about 43 times the amount of energy released by the Hiroshima atomic weapon.

What is the power output of the anti-matter reactor?

This question presupposes the existence of an antimatter reactor. As far as I know, no such reactor exists, or has even been designed. Antimatter reacts with matter to produce energy with virtually no matter remaining. Such a reaction is thousands of times more powerful as nuclear reactions we have used on this planet. But antimatter is difficult to make and nearly impossible to handle. As soon as it touches anything, it is gone. There is a lovely quote from a researcher who has made antimatter often. He said that if all the antimatter made at CERN were put together and reacted with matter, the resulting energy would power a light bulb for a few seconds. This even though it is the most powerful reaction we know of. There just is not enough of it to react usefully.


What is made when matter and antimatter collide?

They annihilate each other, releasing a relatively large quantity of energy, which can be calculated using the formula e=mc2, where e is the released energy in joules, m is the mass of the particles in kilograms, and c is the speed of light in metres per second


What is the law of matter and antimatter?

Sir Issac Newton had three laws of motion, which all concerned matter. The first was the law of inertia: an object is either still or moving at a constant speed, and will stay either moving or at the same speed unless acted on by an external force (such as friction - this is why you cannot slide forever on concrete). The second was the law of force: F=m*a (where F=force, M=mass, and a=acceleration). The third was the law of conservation of energy: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (this is why, if you push off of the floor with your feet, you will go up - commonly known as jumping).
