Question

Nuclear fusion can happen when a carbon nucleus of mass 12u fuses with a hydrogen nucleus of mass 1.00782 u to form a nitrogen nucleus of mass 13.00574 u.

Determine how much energy is released by the reaction, expressed in MeV. (Keep five significant digits)

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given,

mass of carbon nucleus, $m_{c} = 12 u$

mass of hydrogen atoms, $m_{H} = 1.00782 u$

mass of nitrogen formed after the reaction, $m_{N} = 13.00574$
