Answer: 13.2 grams .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that ,
In nuclear fusion, about 0.60% of the mass of the fusing substances is converted to energy.
When 22 kilograms of substance undergoes fusion , then the mass of the fusing substances is converted to energy. = 0.06% of (22 kilograms)
Convert % into decimal by dividing it by 100 and replace 'of ' by multiplication operator (x) , we get
Mass of the fusing substances is converted to energy. = [tex]\dfrac{0.06}{100}\times22=0.0132\ kg[/tex]
Since 1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
Therefore , Mass of the fusing substances is converted to energy. =[tex]0.0132\times1000 =13.2\ g[/tex]
Hence, 13.2 grams of mass is converted into energy when 22 kilograms of substance undergoes fusion.
