Tritium-Tritium Fusion Is Given by the Reaction t+t=4He+2n\mathrm { t } + \mathrm { t } = { } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He } + 2 \mathrm { n }

Question 15

Essay

Tritium-tritium fusion is given by the reaction t+t=4He+2n\mathrm { t } + \mathrm { t } = { } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He } + 2 \mathrm { n } Calculate the energy release for this process. Note the following atomic masses m(3H)=3.016049268um \left( { } ^ { 3 } \mathrm { H } \right) = 3.016049268 \mathrm { u }
and
m(4He)=4.00260325um \left( { } ^ { 4 } \mathrm { He } \right) = 4.00260325 \mathrm { u } .
Ensure that electrons are properly accounted for on the two sides of the equation.
