Calculate the energy released in the fusion reaction 2 3 4 1

1 H + 1 H->2 H +0 n. The atomic mass of 3
1 H (tritium is 3.016049 u.

I am lost! help please!

I have no idea what reaction you are trying to explore.

For energy released, add the masses of the atoms as reactants, then subtract the masses of the product. That is the mass converted to energy.

ohh..sorry! It didn't turn out the way I typed it

1-1H + 3-1 H yield 4-2 He

What is energy in Kj per mole?

To calculate the energy released in a fusion reaction, we can use Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. Here's how you can calculate the energy released in the fusion reaction between two hydrogen atoms:

Step 1: Determine the mass difference between the reactants and the products.

The reactants are two hydrogen atoms, each with an atomic mass of 1.0078 atomic mass units (u). So the total mass of the reactants is 2 x 1.0078 u = 2.0156 u.

The products are one helium atom (mass = 4.0026 u) and one neutron (mass = 1.0087 u). So the total mass of the products is 4.0026 u + 1.0087 u = 5.0113 u.

Step 2: Calculate the mass difference (∆m) between the reactants and the products.

The mass difference (∆m) is given by ∆m = mass of reactants - mass of products.

∆m = 2.0156 u - 5.0113 u = -2.9957 u

Note that the mass difference is negative because the products have a higher mass than the reactants. This negative sign is important for energy calculations.

Step 3: Convert the mass difference (∆m) into kilograms.

To use Einstein's equation, we need to convert the mass difference from atomic mass units to kilograms. The conversion factor is 1 u = 1.66054 x 10^−27 kg.

Mass difference in kilograms (m) = ∆m x (1.66054 x 10^−27 kg/u)

m = -2.9957 u x (1.66054 x 10^−27 kg/u) = -4.976 x 10^-27 kg

Step 4: Calculate the energy released (E) using Einstein's equation.

E = ∆mc^2, where c is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s).

E = -4.976 x 10^-27 kg x (3 x 10^8 m/s)^2

E = - 4.47684 x 10^-11 J

Note that the energy value is negative, which indicates that energy is released in the fusion reaction.

So, the energy released in the fusion reaction between two hydrogen atoms is approximately -4.47684 x 10^-11 Joules.
