The molecular entity which is evolved from the reactants and will further react in order to give the products, in a chemical reaction, are called as intermediates. In this case, the nucleon intermediates formed are
(c)
Interpretation: The energy that is released per mole of Hydrogen nuclei in the below mentioned scheme of the carbon-nitrogen cycle that occurs in the sun needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: The carbon-nitrogen cycle which occurs in the sun is a fusion reaction, wherein Hydrogen gets converted into Helium.
(c)

Answer to Problem 70AE
Explanation of Solution
In order to start with, the mass defect
In the Helium atom
The number of neutrons =
The number of electrons = atomic number = 2
The overall reaction is as shown below:-
The above derived is the difference in the mass per nucleus.
Further the energy change
Wherein
Speed of light
Substituting these values in the energy change equation:-
Hence
Further the energy released per mole of
Therefore the energy released per mole of Hydrogen nuclei is
