If one atom of hydrogen were completely converted to energy

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-08-25] [Hit: ]
66*10^-27 kg * 0.= 1.1 t(TNT) ~ 4.E = 1.49*10^-10 J * t(TNT) / 4.= 3.......
how big would the explosion be? in scale of tons of tnt

-
Not very big. The energy released will be just 9.3*10^8 eV. This is equivalent to 1.4*10^-10 Joules, or around 0.04 picograms of TNT

I arrive at essentially the same result by a slightly different route.

m = 1 amu = 1 g/N0 ≈ 1.66*10^-27 kg
E = mc^2 = 1.66*10^-27 kg * 0.899*10^17 (m/s)^2
= 1.49*10^-10 J

1 t(TNT) ~ 4.184*10^9 J [adopted value]

E = 1.49*10^-10 J * t(TNT) / 4.184*10^9 J
= 3.56*10^-20 t(TNT)
= 0.0356 pg(TNT)

Or using
1 t(TNT) ~ 4.686*10^9 J [measured value]

E = 3.18*10^-20 t(TNT) = 0.0318 pg(TNT)
