Question: How much energy (in j) is produced when 0.082 g of matter is converted to energy?



Mass=0.082g,
The unit of mass is in kg , therefore 0.082/1000 =8.2* 10-6
According to einstein mass-energy relation, the energy can be calculated as follows           e=mc2
E= 8.2* 10-6* (3*108)=24.6 *108-6= 2.46 102j
