JEE MAIN - Physics (2017 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 26)

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)
30.2 MeV
32.4 MeV
23.6 MeV
25.8 MeV

Explanation

1H2 + 1H2  $$ \to $$  2He4

No. of proton in one dueteron = 2

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Total protons in two dueterons = 2 $$ \times $$ 2 = 4

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Binding energy of two dueteron

= 1.1 $$ \times $$ 4 = 4 : 4 MeV

In (2He4) no of protons = 4

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ Binding energy of (2He4) nuclei = 4 $$ \times $$ 7 = 28 Mev

Energy released in this process = 28 $$-$$ 4.4 = 23.6 MeV
