Answer:

one gram of U-235 generates 962 KWh electric energy.

Explanation:

1 gm of Uranium-235 contains (1/235.044)×6.023×10^23 atoms

=2.562×10^21 atoms

The energy released during each U-235 fission reaction ≈200 MeV

Energy released by the fission is 2.562×10^21×200

=5.188×10^23 MeV

=8.312×10^10 Joules

Since the gram of U-235 undergoes fission over the course of a day, the total power released is (8.312×10^10 Joules)/ (86400 seconds)

=9.62×10^5 Watts

= 962 KWh

Hope this answer will be helpful for you.
