Atoms And Nuclei Question 354

Question: Consider the following reaction 1H2+1H22H4+Q. If m,1H2=2.014lamu; m,2H4=4.0024lamu. The energy Q released (in MeV) in this fusion reaction is

Options:

A) 12

B) 6

C) 24

D) 48

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • 1H2+1H22He4+Q

Δm=m2He42m1H2

Δm=4.00242(2.0141)
Δm=0.0258,amu Since, Q=c2Δm
,Q=(0.0258)(931.5)MeVQ=24,MeV.
