how much energy is released (in kj) in the fusion reaction of 2h to yield 1 mol of 3he? the atomic mass of 2h is 2.0141 amu, and the atomic mass of 3he is 3.0160 amu.



Answer :

Energy is released (in kj) in the fusion reaction of 2h to yield 1 mol of 3he is  3.204 × 10⁸ kJ / mol.

Calculation:-

              2 ²₁ H -----> ³₂He + ¹₀n

mass     2.041            3.0160  1.008664

mass of product = 2 × 2.0141 = 4. 0282

mass of reactant = 3.0160 + 0.08664 = 4.02464

mass defect = mass of product - mass of reactant

                      = 4.0282 - 4. 2464

                      = 3.56 * 10⁻³ amu

                      = 3.56 * 10⁻³ amu × 1.66 × 10 ⁻²⁷ kg

                      = 5.9115 × 10⁻³⁰ kg

energy released  = mc²

            = 5.9115 × 10⁻³⁰ kg × (3 × 10⁸)²

            = 5.32 * 10 ⁻¹³ J

conversion:-

5.32 * 10 ⁻¹³ J * 6.022 × 10²³ / 1 mol × 1 kj/10³ j

    = 3.204 × 10⁸ kJ / mol
