QJEEM17Phe52f: JEE Main 2017 Physics - Class 12 JEEM17Phe52f Solution: Two deuterons undergo nuclear fusion to form a Helium nucleus.…
Two deuterons undergo nuclear fusion to form a Helium nucleus. Energy released in this process is : (given binding energy per nucleon for deuteron = 1.1 MeV and for helium = 7.0 MeV)
Multiple Choice Options
- A 30.2 MeV
- B 32.4 MeV
- C 23.6 MeV
- D 25.8 MeV
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
1H2 + 1H2 2He4
No. of proton in one dueteron = 2
Total protons in two dueterons = 2 2 = 4
Binding energy of two dueteron
= 1.1 4 = 4 : 4 MeV
In (2He4) no of protons = 4
Binding energy of (2He4) nuclei = 4 7 = 28 Mev
Energy released in this process = 28 4.4 = 23.6 MeV
No. of proton in one dueteron = 2
= 1.1
In (2He4) no of protons = 4
Energy released in this process = 28
