Before a nuclear reaction, there is 0.0100 kg of uranium. After the nuclear reaction, there is 0.0090 kg of uranium. How much energy was released?  (h = 6.63 × 10^-34 J • s)

Isn't this just E = Mc^2

 

0.01  -  0.009 =0.001 kg - loss in Mass

E = 0.001  x  299,792,458^2 = 89,875,517,873,681.764 =8.99  x  10^13 Joules

Note: I don't think you need Planck's constant in this calculation. It is generally used to calculate the energy of a photon of radiation when its frequency is known.
