AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine how long a 100W electric lamp can be kept glowing using the energy released from the fusion of 2.0 kg of deuterium. We will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the energy released from the fusion of deuterium The fusion reaction given is: \[ _1H^2 + _1H^2 \rightarrow _1H^3 + n + 3.17 \text{ MeV} \] The energy released per reaction is 3.17 MeV. We need to convert this energy into joules. ...
