In a nuclear reaction mass must be a lost to produce energy?

The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.


What does E equals mc2 have to do with nuclear fusion?

Some mass is "lost" during nuclear fusion and E = mc2 gives the amount of energy that this "lost" mass will be equal to.


What happens to the mass lost in nuclear fusion?

The mass lost in nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. This energy is released in the form of photons, such as gamma rays, and contributes to sustaining the fusion reaction.


When nuclear fussion occurs some mass is lost where does it go?

The mass that is lost during nuclear fusion is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2. This released energy is what powers the sun and other stars.


In a nuclear reaction mass must be lost to produce energy. true or false?

False. Both mass and energy are conserved.


In a power plant energy is lost as what?

Energy is lost as heat. A typical nuclear power plant produces about twice as much energy as waste heat as it does in electricity. Other power plants are not much better, except for such things as more modern gas plants, which can used combined cycle to recover some of the lost heat (nuclear could too) and even do cogeneration use more waste heat to heat buildings (which nuclear plants probably cannot).


What happens to the mass that is lost during fusion?

Mass that is "lost" durning nuclear fusion is converted into binding energy to hold the newly formed atomic nucleus together. The lost mass, which is termed mass deficit, means the nucleus of the newly formed atom has less mass than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up that nucleus. The stong reaction (strong nuclear force) participitates in the fursion reaction by mediating the conversion of mass into nuclear binding energy (or nuclear glue).It converts into the energy that is the desired end product of the reaction.


Nuclear reaction what is lost as energy is created?

Mass.The total mass of the fragment nuclei after fission, or the composite nucleus after fusion,is less than the mass of the nuclei that entered the process.


Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?

Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy


Is nuclear energy a chemical energy?
