Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the amount of energy liberated in a nuclear fusion reaction with a mass defect of 0.3% for a 1 kg fusion reaction, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the mass defect (Δm) The mass defect is given as 0.3% of the total mass involved in the reaction. For a 1 kg fusion reaction, we can calculate Δm as follows: \[ \Delta m = \frac{0.3}{100} \times 1 \text{ kg} = 0.003 \text{ kg} \] ...
