When two atoms of ²H are fused to form one atom of ⁴He, the total energy evolved is 3.83 × 10^-1² J. What is the total change in mass (in kg)for this reaction? (c = 3.00 × 10⁸m/s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Explanation:The mass-energy equivalence equation is E = mc^2. So, the change in mass is:Δm = E/c^2 = (3.83 × 10^-12 J) / (3.00 × 10^8 m/s)^2 = 4.26 × 10^-29 kg
