The disappearance of a small amount of mass in a nuclear reaction produces?
Tbabylaflair
Tremendous energy. Actually, the mass does not disappear - it is "carried away" in the energy released.
Mass and energy can neither be created nor destroyed - they can only be moved to different frames of reference. Einstein's famous equation e = mc2 does not, as some people think, mean that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa - it means instead that mass is energy and vice versa.

It produces ENERGY.
The Einsteinian equation relates to this#
E = mc^2
E = Energy
m is the loss of mass in the nuclear reactor by nuclear disintegration
c is the speed of light in a vacuum. (3.0 x 10^(8) m/s)
c^2 is the speed of light squared. (9.0 x 10^(16) m^2/s^2 )
Artificially if you have a 1 kg of uranium in the nuclear reactor disintegrating to other elements, you would expect to have a total mass of 1 kg at the finish. Not so!!!! The mass loss would be very small , say 0.25 g, = 0.00025 kg.
Hence energy released is
E = 0.00025 x 9.0 x10^(16)
E = 2.25 x 10^(13) J = 22,500,000,000,000 J
These are just artificial figures to give an idea of what is happening.

It does produce a large amount of energy, E = mc2.

What produces the large amount of energy released by the nuclear reaction?
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
What do you see everyday that produces a tremendous amount of nuclear energy?
sun
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
When an atom of uranium 235 is bombarded with neutrons it splits into smaller nuclei and produces a great amount of energy This nuclear process is called?
Nuclear fission
What is one of the main concerns with nuclear power?
The amount of radioactive waste it produces. And the problem of disposing of that waste.
What produces the large amount of energy released by the nuclear reaction?
A change from one form of matter to another, with the release of large amounts of energy.
What happens in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear powerplant is a Thermal powerstation that uses a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The method: A nuclear fission or fusion reaction happens which produces up to 650 to 700 Degrees Of heat when controlled. This massive amount of heat is then open to massive amounts of water that produces steam which in turn the turbines that produces up to 10,000 Mega Watts of electricity.
What do you see everyday that produces a tremendous amount of nuclear energy?
sun
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reaction?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
How beneficial is nuclear energy?
it produces electricity more quickly and in larj amount
which type of power production produces the least amount of greenhouse gases?
nuclear
How nuclear technologies produce enermouse amount of energy?
Nuclear fission produces energy 2.5 million times that of carbon of same mass. Nuclear fusion produces energy 400 times that of nuclear fission of same mass.
How does the sun goes on shining?
Due nuclear reaction on sun which are uncontrolled chain reaction with huge amount of energy
What quantities do not change during a nuclear reaction?
If you consider the equation, E=mc2, you can see that an amount of mass can be considered as equal to an amount of energy. In other words, we could take all the mass in a nuclear reaction and figure out how much energy that represents. If you add that to the amount of energy present at the same time, you get a summation of energy (some of which is mass represented as energy). That amount of energy does not change in a nuclear reaction.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?

What atomic change produces the largest amount of energy?
The atomic change that produces the largest amount of energy is a nuclear atomic change. This is when an atom is hit with another elementary particles and releases a large amount of energy.
