Knowing the E = mc2 c = 3 x 108 m/s
Plug the mass difference (∆m) into the equation above, and find the energy released in units of Joules (1 J = 1 kg*m2/s2).

Submit your answer as the coefficient (Y) of the below scientific notation expression:

Y x 10-12 Joules per one fusion reaction

Knowing the answer to the previous question, you are given that the luminosity of a red giant is approximately 3.8 x 1029 Joules/sec. How many fusion reactions occur each second in this specific red giant?

Submit your answer as the coefficient (Y) of the below scientific notation expression:

Y x 1041 reactions per second
