Energy released for atom of carbon

grafite,anidride carbonica,atomo di carbonio


Exercise of Nuclear reactor physics by ing. Giorgio Bertucelli.

The energy released when carbon (graphite) is burned to carbon dioxide is 32797J/g . What is the energy released for atom of carbon? (Graphite density is 2.25g/cm³).


Solution
From table of atomic raddi we read for C:


The volume of an atom of C:

The mass of C:


Then energy per atom is:
