Calculate the energy in the given fusion...

Calculate the energy in the given fusion reaction.
`""_(1)H^(2) + ""_(1)H^(2) to ""_(2)He^(3) +n`
Given, B.E. of `""_(1)H^(2) = 2.23` MeV and B.E. of `""_(2)He^(3) = 7.73` MeV.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Energy of the fusion reaction can be calculated as follows:
`DeltaE = E_(2)-2E_(1) = 7.73 - (2 xx 2.23) = 3.27 MeV`
