The pressure an ideal gas exerts on a sealed container of fixed volume is directly related to its temperature in degrees Kelvin. That is:
In this scenario:
Rearranging gives
<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given nuclear reaction:
We are given:
Mass of = 39.963998 u
Mass of = 39.962591 u
To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:
(Conversion factor: )
Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.
