Concept explainers
To calculate:
Complete fusion reaction for deuterium and energy released during the reaction.
Answer to Problem 87A
Complete fusion reaction for deuterium is
The energy released during the reaction is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Formula Used:
Number of neutrons is given as,
Where,
Where,
Energy is given by formula,
Where,
Calculation:
To obtain the number of protons,
As the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number
Number of protons
Number of neutrons is given by subtracting atomic number form the mass number,
Substitute the values in above formula,
Number of neutrons
To obtain energy, firstly there is need to find mass defect.
Mass effect can be calculated by formula,
Substituting the values in above formula,
Energy released during the reaction can be calculated by formula,
Substituting the values in above formula,
Converting the value of energy in
As,
Conclusion:
Hence, complete fusion reaction for deuterium is
