My question is simple: suppose that I have X kg of matter and an equal amount of antimatter, would *both* produce Xc^2 amount of energy upon annihilation, resulting in a total of E=2Xc^2? In other words, would the antimatter 'count'? (So if I take 1 kg of matter and 1 kg of antimatter, I would get 2c^2 J of energy?)It seems obvious to me, but I don't want to make a simple mistake - not yet knowing all the details about antimatter and stuff - and screw up my calculations.
