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