Answer

$E = 8.2\times 10^{13}~J$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that there are $2.56\times 10^{24}~atoms$ We can find the energy that is released: $E = (2.56\times 10^{24})(200\times 10^6~eV)$ $E = 5.12\times 10^{32}~eV$ $E = (5.12\times 10^{32}~eV)(1.6\times 10^{-19}~J/eV)$ $E = 8.2\times 10^{13}~J$
