(a)[2]
Show that a mass of $1.00\,\text{u}$ has an energy equivalent of $934\,\text{MeV}$.
(b(i))[2]
Use the information in Fig. 12.1 to calculate the binding energy per nucleon for a uranium-235 nucleus ($^{235}_{92}\text{U}$). Fill in Fig. 12.1.
(b(ii))[1]
An isotope of the element rutherfordium has nucleon number 267. State whether its binding energy per nucleon will be greater than, equal to or less than the binding energy per nucleon of uranium-235.
(c)[2]
Calculate the total energy, in MeV, released in this nuclear reaction.
(d)[3]
All of the nuclei in $1.2 \times 10^{-7}\,\text{mol}$ of uranium-235 undergo this reaction over a period of $25\,\text{ms}$. Calculate the average power released during $25\,\text{ms}$.
