Question

Calculate the Q-values of the following fusion reactions:

(a) $_{1}^{2} H +_{1}^{2} H \to_{1}^{3} H +_{1}^{1} H$

(b) $_{1}^{2} H +_{1}^{2} H \to_{3}^{2} H e + n$

(c) $_{1}^{2} H +_{1}^{3} H \to_{4}^{2} H e + n$

Atomic masses are $m (_{1}^{2} H e) = 2.014102 u, m (_{1}^{3} H e) = 3.016049 u, m (_{2}^{3} H e) = 3.016029 u, m (_{2}^{4} H e) = 4.002603 u$ .

Solution

(a) Q = $[2 \times m_{1}^{2} H - m_{1}^{3} H + m_{1}^{1} H] C^{2}$

= (4.028204-4.023874) 931 MeV

= 4.03 MeV

(b) Q = $[2 \times m_{1}^{2} H - (m_{2}^{3} H + n)] C^{2}$

= [4.028204 - 4.024694) $\times 231$

= $0.0351 \times 931$

= 3.26 MeV

(c) Q = [ $m_{1}^{2} H + m_{1}^{3} H - m_{1}^{4} H e - m n]$ 931

= (2.014102 + 3.016049- 4.002603-1.008665) 931

= 17.58 Mev
