Consider the fission reaction in which U-235 is bombarded by neutrons. The products of the bombardment are Rb-89, Ce-144, beta particles, and more neutrons.

(a) Write a balanced nuclear equation for the bombardment.

(b) Calculate when one gram of U-235 undergoes fission.

(c) The detonation of TNT, an explosive, evolves 2.76 kJ/g. How many kilograms of TNT are required to produce the same amount of energy as one milligram of U-235?
