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.
What else can I help you with?
In a nuclear reaction mass must be a lost to produce energy?
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
How are the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass similar?
In both cases, something is conserved - it doesn't change over time.Also, mass and energy are equivalent. If something has energy, it has mass, and vice versa.
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.
How is wind energy transformed into kinetic energy?
The energy in the wind is kinetic, it is due to a mass of air moving at a certain speed. Wind energy is transformed into mechanical energy through the blades of the wind turbine, and the mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy in a generator driven by the blade axis.
What must you know about a nuclear reaction to calculate the amount of energy it will produce answers apex?
To calculate the amount of energy produced in a nuclear reaction, you need to know the type of reaction (fission or fusion) and the mass difference between the reactants and products. This mass difference can be used in Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2, to determine the energy released during the reaction. Additionally, the binding energy per nucleon of the nuclei involved is also crucial in estimating the energy output of a nuclear reaction.
In a nuclear fusion reaction mass is transformed into?
It is often stated that mass is transformed to energy. This is wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved in a chemical reaction - or in a nuclear reaction. The Wikipedia article on "binding energy" clarifies this.
How is energy created from nuclear energy as per the first law of thermodynamics?
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be transformed, but not created nor destroyed. In a nuclear reaction, mass is transformed into energy.
In a nuclear reaction mass must be a lost to produce energy?
The mass is not lost but transformed in energy.
How is the sun so hot?
Because of a fusion reaction in which hydrogen is transformed into helium. The mass that goes missing during this process is transformed into energy by Einstein's E equals M C squared law of relativity.
During the course of which type of reaction is energy consumed?
Any reaction that consumes energy, or has a positive delta(H), is called an endothermic reaction.
Why is the mass of reactants less than the product in nuclear fission?
A part of mass is transformed in energy.
What happens to mass in a nuclear fusion reaction?
If you talk about fission reaction (current nuclear power plants) then the mass is turned into energy, mostly in a form of heat, that is then turned to make energy in a massive closed system steam turbines plant.If you really mean Fusion reaction (humans not able to replicate such, but such is known to happen in stars), then there are no missing mass.
In a nuclear reaction WHAT does not have to be conserved?
While overall ENERGY has to be conserved, MASS does not. In a nuclear reaction mass can be converted into energy so the mass of the products may be less than the mass of the reactants. The difference in mass is converted into energy as Einstein's equation describes (E=MC squared). In a chemical reaction MASS has to be conserved.
The mass in a chemical reaction is found in?
the energy produced by the reaction.
Why can't matter be creAted from energy?
In any reaction, or process, both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain constant. You might say that mass has energy, and energy has mass. Any mass or energy "created" during a reaction was already present previously.
What is meant by conservation of mass and energy?
Law of mass conservation in chemistry: in a chemical reaction the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.Law of energy conservation: in a closed system the energy remain constant.
How are the law of conservation of energy and the law of conservation of mass similar?
In both cases, something is conserved - it doesn't change over time.Also, mass and energy are equivalent. If something has energy, it has mass, and vice versa.
