The following fusion reaction takes place in the Sun and furnishes much of its energy: 4 1H1 -> 4He2 + 2 0e(+1) + energy where 0e(+1) is a positron electron. How much energy is released as l.00 kg of hydrogen is consumed? The masses of 1H, 4He, and 0e(+1) are, respectively, 1.007825, 4.002604, and 0.000549 u, where atomic electrons are included in the first two values. |
