Calculate the quantity of energy produced per gram of U-235 (atomic mass = 235.043922 amu) for the neutron-induced fission of U-235 to form Xe-144 (atomic mass = 143.9385 amu) and Sr-90 (atomic mass = 89.907738 amu). Express your answer in joules per gram to three significant figures.

To calculate the amount of energy produced per gram from Uranium- 235 we call on the formula:

delta(m)= mass of the products - mass of reactants

Given the atomic mass of Xe-144 = 143.9385 amu; atomic mass of Sr-90= 89.907738 amu;  atomic mass of  U-235= 235.043922 amu

Therefore:

delta(m)=  (143.9385 + 89.907738) - (235.043922)  = -1.197682 amu

Recall that to calculate energy in joules, we use the formula:

Energy = mc^2

Therefore: Energy = (-1.197582/6.022 x 10^26)kg x (3 x 10^8 m/s)^2

= -1.7898104 x 10^-10 J

= (-1.7898104 x 10^-10 x 6.022 x 10^23/235.043922)

= -4.586 x 10^11 J per gram of  energy released

answer: any goods being imported from another country may be subject to issued by the federal government are tariffs

explanation:  

tariffs are a tax on anything that are imported from abroad. government use them to protect and boost their local industries and the thought is that they encourage consumers to buy local instead of importing and they will hope will protect jobs and economy in the country that implements them
