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.

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

The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.


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

False. Both mass and energy are conserved.


What is never lost or created in a chemical reaction?

Matter and Energy


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.


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.


Energy is lost from a reaction in a form of what?

Energy is lost from a reaction in the form of heat. This heat is often referred to as exothermic heat, as it is released from the system during the reaction.

Type of reaction in which mass is transformed into energy?

Mass can be conveted into energy by a nuclear reaction. The ammount of energy converted can be calculated by E=mc^2. So for every gram that is lost 9,000,000,000,000,000 J of energy will be released. That is enough to power a 100 Watt light bulb for 3 million years. That's a lot of energy.


How much energy does a nuclear reaction give off?

It depends on how much you are reacting, what element it is, and how quickly it reacts. But in all cases E=mc^2 Meaning that the energy (in Joules) released is equal to the mass lost (in kg) multiplied by the speed of light (300 000 000 m/s) squared.
