Chapter 11: Q66E (page 520)

Two deuterons can fuse to form different products. Although not the most probable outcome, one possibility is helium-4 plus a gamma particle. Calculate the net energy released in this process.

Short Answer

Expert verified

EnergyQ=23.8464MeV

Step by step solution

01

Equation for energy

Energy =Q=螖mc2

  • 螖m- mass defect
  • c- speed of light

Where the mass defect螖m is given as:螖m=mH12+mH12-mHe24

02

Net energy released

Calculating the Q for the reaction as:

Q=(2.0141+2.0141-4.00260)uc2=0.0256脳931.5MeV=23.8464MeV

Therefore, The net energy released in the process is 23.8464MeV
