(choose chapter or problem)

The energy from solar radiation falling on Earth is 1.07 * 1016 kJ>min. (a) How much loss of mass from the Sun occurs in one day from just the energy falling on Earth? (b) If the energy released in the reaction 235 U + 1 0n 141 56Ba + 92 36Kr + 31 0n (235 U nuclear mass, 234.9935 amu; 141 Ba nuclear mass, 140.8833 amu; 92 Kr nuclear mass, 91.9021 amu) is taken as typical of that occurring in a nuclear reactor, what mass of uranium-235 is required to equal 0.10% of the solar energy that falls on Earth in 1.0 day?
