Consider the reaction 1^2H+1^2H=2^4He+Q....

Consider the reaction `_1^2H+_1^2H=_2^4He+Q`. Mass of the deuterium atom`=2.0141u`. Mass of helium atom `=4.0024u`. This is a nuclear………reaction in which the energy Q released is…………MeV.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

This is a nuclear fusion reaction.
Energy released`=(Delta m)[(931.5 MeV//u]`
`=[4.0024 -2 xx 2.0141]xx931.5 MeV`
` = -24.03 MeV` (heat release)

It is proposed to use the nuclear fusion reaction, _1^2H+_1^2Hrarr_2^4He in a nuclear reactor 200 MW rating. If the energy from the above reaction is used with a 25 per cent efficiency in the reactor, how many grams of deuterium fuel will be needed per day?(The masses of _1^2H and _2^4He are 2.0141 atommic mass units and 4.0026 atomic mass units respectively.)

The disappearance of one atomic mass unit (am u) releases ………………………. MeV energy.

The source of energy of stars is nuclear fusion. Fusion reaction occurs at very high temperature, about 10^(7) . Energy released in the process of fusion is due to mass defect. It is also called Q -value. Q = Delta mc^(2), Delta m = mass defect. The binding energy per nucleon of ._(1)H^(2) and ._(2)He^(4) are 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV , respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is
