  • question_answer
    The binding energy per nucleon in deuterium and helium nuclei are 1.1 MeV and 7.0 MeV, respectively. When two deuterium nuclei fuse to form a helium nucleus the energy released in the fusion is

    A)  23.6 MeV     

    B)  2.2 MeV             

    C)  28.0 MeV           

    D)  30.2 MeV

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Mass of \[_{1}{{H}^{2}}=2.01478\,amu\] Mass of \[_{2}H{{e}^{4}}=4.00388\,amu\] Mass of two deuterium = 2 x 2.01478 = 4.02956 amu Energy equivalent to \[_{2}{{H}^{2}}\] \[=4.02956\times 1.2\] = 4.4 MeV Energy equivalent to \[_{2}{{H}^{4}}\] \[=4.00388\times 7=28MeV\] Energy released = (28 - 4.4) = 23.6 MeV
