Well, #"energy"="mass"xxc^2#, where #c="speed of light."#

Explanation:

You know that masses are conserved in chemical reactions. However, this is a PHYSICAL not a chemical reaction, where nuclear processes occur with the release of a vast amount of energy. So try it out...........

We know that #1*g-=1xx10^-3*kg#.

#N_A=6.022xx10^23*mol^-1#

#c=3.00xx10^8*m*s^-1#.
