The energy released by a bomb is sometimes expressed in tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). When one ton of TNT explodes, 4 × 109J of energy is released. The fission of 1 mol of uranium releases approximately 2 × 1013J ofenergy. Calculate the energy released by the fission of 1.2 kg of uranium in a small atomic bomb. Express your answer in tons of TNT.
