How is fission used to calculate the energy required?

In nuclear fission, the energy released is calculated using the mass defect principle expressed by Einstein's equation E=mc^2, where E is energy, m is mass defect, and c is the speed of light. The mass defect is the difference in mass between the reactants and products of the fission reaction, and this mass defect is converted to energy according to Einstein's equation.


Why does nuclear fission release energy?

Nuclear fission releases energy because when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, a small amount of mass is converted into a large amount of energy according to Einstein's famous equation, Emc2.


When a nucleus with a high mass undergoes fission the resulting nuclei?

The resulting nuclei are typically two smaller nuclei, known as fission fragments, along with several neutrons and a release of energy. The fission process releases a significant amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as predicted by Einstein's equation E=mc^2.


Why does fission release energy?

Fission releases energy because when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, the total mass of the products is less than the original mass, and this "missing" mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, Emc2.


What does Einstein's energy equation say about the energy that is derived from nuclear fission reactions?

Nothing special. E = M * C ^ 2 is just a units conversion equation (no different in concept than other such units conversion equations, except before the development of Special Relativity there had been no reason to assume that the units that energy is measured in and the units that mass is measured in were equivalent units that could be converted).

What is the Fission equation of uranium-235?

U-235 splits into a variety of fission products, see the article linked below. Also 2 or 3 neutrons are ejected, with gamma radiation. The total energy per fission is about 200 MeV, or 3.2 x 10-13 Joules.

What Equation involves nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?

Involving fission & fusion at the same time? These reactions are completely different from each other and have no physical or mathematical relationships. I suppose you could claim that a hydrogen bomb that uses a fission trigger is an example of such an equation, however, the fission occurs before the fusion, so they are still separate and distinct from each other. The mass-energy equivalence equation, E=mc^2, is used to calculate the energy released due to the missing masses found in the fission or fusion calculations, but it comes at the end to convert the mass result into energy only.

What is the nuclear decay equation for uranium 233?

The equation for the alpha decay of 233U is: 92233U --> 90229Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 223U can also undergo fission, but since this is an rather unpredictable process, there is no standard equation.


In nuclear fission how does the loss in mass affect the amount of energy given off?

They are directly related through equation E = mc2. In each fission the nucleus loses a little mass and releases an equivalent amount of energy.
