Q. Coal is formed deep inside the earth under what conditions?

_{92}^{235} U

which must go nuclear fission to produce the same mass of energy as produced by 1 ton of coal. Given the heat of combustion of coal is

8 \times 10^{3} c a l / g

. The fission of

_{92}^{235} U

produces 200 MeV energy per fission.
