Question

What quantity of energy would be produced when one mole of deuterium reacts with one mole of tritium to form helium and a neutron? You may use the information provided below in your calculations. [Hint: 1 J =1 kg m²/s²]

²D isotopic mass = 2.0141 g/mol

³T isotopic mass = 3.0160 g/mol

⁴He isotopic mass = 4.0026 g/mol

Neutron mass = 1.0087 g/mol

Electron mass = 5.486 × 10^-4 g/mol

Speed of light = 2.998 × 10⁸m/s

a. 1.6 × 10¹²J/mole.

b. 5.6 × 10⁶J/mole.

c. 2.8 × 10^-9 J/mole.

d. 9.2 × 10¹³J/mole.

e. 3.1 × 10⁸J/mole.
