The average energy output of a good grade of coal is 2.6 10 7 kJ/ton. Fission
Question:
The average energy output of a good grade of coal is 2.6 × 107 kJ/ton. Fission of 1 mol of 235U releases 2.1 × 1010 kJ. Find the number of tons of coal needed to produce the same energy as 1 lb of 235U. (See Appendix C for conversion factors.)
