Mathematics · Nuclei
Consider the following nuclear fusion reaction: 1H2 + 1H2 → 2He4. Given that the binding energy per nucleon of 1H2 and 2He4 nuclei are 1.1 MeV and 7.0 MeV respectively, choose the correct statement:
- 1The reaction cannot occur because it violates conservation laws.
- 2The reaction can occur only if the 1H2 nuclei are initially supplied with a total of 23.6 MeV energy.
- 3The reaction occurs with a release of 25.8 MeV energy.
- 4The reaction occurs with a release of 23.6 MeV energy.✓
Correct answer
The reaction occurs with a release of 23.6 MeV energy.
