7 stepsHere's the calculation for the given problem:
Part i· 3 steps
The number of U-235 nuclei contained in 1.00 kg of natural uranium
Calculate the mass of U-235 in 1.00 kg of natural uranium.
The mass of natural uranium is .
Natural uranium contains Uranium-235.Calculate the number of moles of U-235.
The molar mass of U-235 is approximately .
Calculate the number of U-235 nuclei.
Using Avogadro's number ():
Rounding to three significant figures:
Part ii
The cost to be paid to an electricity company
Calculate the total energy released from the fission of all U-235 nuclei.
Energy released per U-235 fission .
Convert the total energy from MeV to Joules.
Using the conversion factor :
Convert the total energy from Joules to kilowatt-hours (kWh), where .
Using the conversion factor :
Calculate the total cost.
The cost of electrical energy is .
