The energy equivalent of 0.5   g of a substance is:
Options
- A4.5 × 10 13   J
- B1.5 × 10 13   J
- C0.5 × 10 13   J
- D4.5 × 10 16   J
Correct answer
A. 4.5 × 10 13   J
Step-by-step solution
Einstein's theory of special relativity gives the relation between mass and energy. Energy, E = m c 2 , where c is the speed of light. E = 0 . 5 × 10 − 3 × 9 × 10 16 ⇒ E = 4 . 5 × 10 13   J
