Problem

Identify the correct mathematical expression for the percentage of the initial mass that is converted into energy in a nuclear reaction, if the mass defect is Δm\Delta m and the total initial mass of the reactants is MM. (a) Δmc2M×100%\dfrac{\Delta m c^{2}}{M}\times 100\% (b) ΔmMc2×100%\dfrac{\Delta m}{M c^{2}}\times 100\% (c) ΔmM×100%\dfrac{\Delta m}{M}\times 100\% (d) MΔm×100%\dfrac{M}{\Delta m}\times 100\%
