    The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron\[(_{1}^{2}H)\]and helium nucleus\[(_{2}^{4}He)\]is,\[1.1\,MeV\]and \[7\text{ }MeV,\]respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

    A) \[13.9\text{ }MeV\]    

    B)        \[26.9\text{ }MeV\]       

    C)        \[23.6\text{ }MeV\]        

    D)        \[19.2\text{ }MeV\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    As given\[_{1}{{H}^{2}}{{+}_{1}}{{H}^{2}}{{\xrightarrow{{}}}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}+\]energy The binding energy per nucleon of a deuteron\[{{(}_{1}}{{H}^{2}})\] \[=1.1MeV\] \[\therefore \]Total binding energy of one deuteron nucleus \[=2\times 1.1=2.2MeV\] The binding energy per nucleon of helium\[{{(}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}})\] \[=7MeV\] \[\therefore \] Total binding energy\[=4\times 7=28\text{ }MeV\] Hence, energy released in the above process \[=28-2\times 2.2\] \[=28-4.4=23.6\text{ }MeV\]
