In one example of nuclear fusion, two deuterium (2H) nuclei fuse to form tritium (³H) and a proton. The rest mass energy of the deuterium is 1875.62 MeV, whereas the rest mass energies for the tritium and the proton are 2808.92 MeV and 938.27 MeV, respectively. (a) What is the energy released in this fusion reaction? MeV (b) What is the mass deficit in this reaction? kg Read It Need Help?
