Question

In the fusion reaction \(_1^2H+_1^2H→_2^3He+_0^1n\), the masses of deuteron, helium and neutron expressed in amu are 2.015, 3.017 and 1.009, respectively. If 1 kg of deuterium undergoes complete fusion, find the amount of total energy released. (1=amu 931.5 MeV).

• A. \(9.0 \times 10^{13} \ J\)
• B. \(20 \times 10^{5} \ J\)
• C. \(5 \times 10^{16} \ J\)
• D. \(8 \times 10^{5} \ J\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct option is (A): \(9.0 \times 10^{13} \ J\).
