Chemistry

Approximately 10000 anti-protons were synthesized and stored ina magnetic containment device at a particle accelerator facility.Due to the containment failure, the amount of antimatterannihilated completely. Calculate the energy that was release ( inJules) as the result of this nuclear annihilation reaction.

Hint: The annihilation energy can be calculated using Einsten'smost famous equation: E=MC2

where E is the energy, is the mass of matter- antimatter in thereaction, and c is the speed of light.
