Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Consider that,
We have to determine the initial mass of uranium required to supply the electrical needs of such a house for a year.
To solve this problem, we'll calculate the total number of reactions each second as follows
The total number of reactions throughout the course of the year will be calculated as the product of the number of reactions per second and the total time (year expressed in seconds) as follows
