Energy released when two deuterons (₁H²) fuse to form a helium nucleus (₂He⁴) is: (Given: Binding energy per nucleon of ₁H² = 1.1 MeV and binding energy per nucleon of ₂He⁴ = 7.0 MeV) (a) 26.8 MeV (b) 8.1 MeV (c) 23.6 MeV (d) 5.9 MeV

Answer: (c). Q = 4×7.0 - 2×(2×1.1). Q = 28.0 - 4.4 = 23.6 MeV. So the answer is (c) 23.6 MeV.

Energy released when two deuterons $\left({}_{1}\text{H}^{2}\right)$ fuse to form a helium nucleus $\left({}_{2}\text{He}^{4}\right)$ is: (Given: Binding energy per nucleon of ${}_{1}\text{H}^{2} = 1.1\text{ MeV}$ and binding energy per nucleon of ${}_{2}\text{He}^{4} = 7.0\text{ MeV}$ )

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$Q = 4\times7.0 - 2\times(2\times1.1)$ .
$Q = 28.0 - 4.4 = 23.6\text{ MeV}$ .
So the answer is (c) $23.6\text{ MeV}$ .
