I am specifically having difficulty in solving part d of this problem.
a) Calculate the number of grams of deuterium in a 54,300 L swimming pool, given deuterium is 0.0150% of natural hydrogen.
(b)
Find the energy released in joules if this deuterium is fused via the reaction 2H + 2H → 3He + n.
(c)
Could the neutrons be used to release more energy?
(d)
Discuss the amount of this type of energy in a swimming pool as compared to that in, say, a gallon of gasoline, also taking into consideration that water is far more abundant. (Enter the ratio of the energy in the deuterium in the pool to the energy in a gallon of gasoline. The energy in a gallon of gasoline is 1.2 ✕ 108 J.)

This question is bonded the first question. This first question that is answered. The mass difference between two isotopes is sometimes just a neutron mass. The spectrometer should separate them very well. For such an isotope combination, the difference in radius should be around 1 cm. That is r2 - r1 = 1 cm. In order to achieve this, choose a magnetic field with a magnitude in Tesla (maximum magnetic field you can obtain from a conventional magnet is around 2.5 T so be far away from this value) and choose the direction also.
