(a) Calculate the energy released in the decay of 238 U . (b) What fraction of the mass of a single 238 U is destroyed in the decay? The mass of 234 Th is 234.043593 u. (c) Although the fractional mass loss is large for a single nucleus, it is difficult to observe for an entire macroscopic sample of uranium. Why is this?
