The sun produces energy via fusion. one of the fusion reactions that occurs in the sun is 411h→42he+201e how much energy in joules is released by the fusion of 2.01 g of hydrogen-1? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The energy released for the the given amount of hydrogen -1 atom is

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the mass defect .

The given equation follows:

To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Mass defect = Sum of mass of product - Sum of mass of reactant

We know that:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g )

To calculate the energy released, we use Einstein equation, which is:

The energy released for 4 moles of hydrogen atom is

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Given mass of hydrogen atom = 2.01 g

Molar mass of hydrogen atom = 1 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

We need to calculate the energy released for the fusion of given amount of hydrogen atom. By applying unitary method, we get:

As, 4 moles of hydrogen atom releases energy of =

Then, 2.01 moles of hydrogen atom will release energy of =

Hence, the energy released for the the given amount of hydrogen -1 atom is
