Question
14) Here are the measured hydrogen and helium masses:
1H(aka hydrogen): m1H=1.007825u=mp+me (recall that standard hydrogen has no neutrons)
2H(aka deuterium): m2H=2.014102u
3H(aka tritium): m3H=3.016049u
3He: m3He=3.016030u
4He: m4He=4.002603u
a) obtain the binding energy of a deterium atom.
b) obtain the annihilation energy of a deterium atom.
c) write a nuclear reaction in which a deterium atom and tritium atom are transformed into a 4He atom.
d) For the reaction you gave
in (c), obtain the released energy in this reaction
please help asap thanks!
3He: m3He=3.
Explanation / Answer
a)
Binding Energy is 2.014102*931.5 = 1876.136 MeV
c)
2H+3H -->4He+1n
d)
Energy released is M(2H+3H ) -M(4He+1n)
Energy Released is ((2.014102+3.016049)-(4.002603+1.0086654))*931.5 MeV
Energy Released is is 17.589 MeV
