When a neutron collides with a uranium-235 nucleus it can induce a variety of fission reactions. One such reaction is U + n ? Xe + Sr + 2 n The following mass values are known: Xe: 139.921620 u Sr: 93.915367 u U: 235.043924 u n: 1.008665 u
What mass of uranium is needed to produce a 10-kiloton yield? (1 u = 931.5 MeV/c2 = 1.66054 × 10-27 kg, 1-kiloton yield = 5.0 × 1012 J)
A) 0.57 kg
B) 0.66 kg
C) 6.58 kg
D) 3.85 kg
E) 1.10 kg
