Consider the Fusion Reaction 12^{2}_{1} H 12^{2}_{1} H 12^{2}_{1} H → 24^{4}_{2}

Question 170

Short Answer

Consider the fusion reaction: 12^{2}_{1} H + 12^{2}_{1} H + 12^{2}_{1} H → 24^{4}_{2} He + 11^{1}_{1} H + 01^{1}_{0} n
The know atomic masses are 12^{2}_{1} H: 2.01410 u 24^{4}_{2} He: 4.00260 u 11^{1}_{1} H: 1.00783 u 01^{1}_{0} n: 1.008665 u where 1 u = 1.6605 × 10-27 kg. What mass of deuterium fuel, 12^{2}_{1} H, is used up in producing 5.6×1015 J5.6 \times 10^{15} \mathrm {~J} of energy by this reaction?
