In a thermonuclear reaction, the total initial mass is 5.02 x \(10^{-{2}{7}}\)kg and the total final mass is 5.01 x \(10^{-{2}{7}}\)kg. The energy released in the process is
[c = 3.0 x \(10^8\) ms-1]

  • A. 9.0 x 10-13J
  • B. 9.0 x 10-12J
  • C. 9.0 x 10-11J
  • D. 9.0 x 10-10J

Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

In thermonuclear reactions,
Energy = ∆mC\(^2\)
∆m = Change in Mass
C = Speed of light
∴ 5.02 x 10\(^{-27}\) - 5.01 x 10\(^{-27}\) x [3 x 10\(^8\)]\(^2\)
0.01 x 10\(^{-27}\) x 9 x 10\(^{16}\)
E = 9.0 x 10\(^{-13}\)J

There is an explanation video available below.
