Calculate the total energy, in joule, released if

1.0\,\text{g}

of completely pure

^{235}\mathrm{U}

undergoes fission. Assume each fission liberates

200\,\text{MeV}

. Use

N_A = 6.02\times10^{23}\,\text{mol}^{-1}

, atomic mass of U-235

=235\,\text{g\,mol}^{-1}

, and

1\,\text{eV}=1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{J}
