Question

find energy released when two 1H2 nuclei fuse to form one 2He4 nucleus. BEN of H and He are 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively.

Solution


Since the binding energy per nucleon is given henceBinding energy of the 2He4=4×7MeV=28MeVBinding energy of the 1H2=2×1.1MeV=2.2MeVsoE=2mass of 1H2-mass of 2He4E=2Mp+Mn-2.2-2Mp+2Mn-28E=2Mp+2Mn-4.4-2Mp-2Mn+28E=23.6 MeV
