The first atomic bomb released energy equivalent to20


The first atomic bomb released energy equivalent to20 kilotons of TNT. If 1 ton of TNT releases 4x109 J, how much uranium was consumed through fission in the bomb? Assume208 MeV per fission; 1 MeV = 1.6x10-13 J; 235 g of U has6x1023 atoms. Hint: get the result by dividing theenergy released by the energy per unit mass of uranium.
