How do I use the equation E=MC^2 in relation to atoms to find the amount of energy of a reaction?

Sagot :

AL2006
-- Find the mass of all the pieces before the reaction.

-- Find the mass of all the pieces after the reaction.

-- Find the difference . . . (mass before) minus (mass after)

-- If any mass is missing, either you lost track of it, or else
it was converted to energy.

How much energy ?

(the missing mass) times c² .
