Question:

One of the promising reactions for a controlled fusion reactor consumes deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H) in the reactionH + H 2.0140 3.0161 1 He + n 4.0026 1.008665

The atomic mass of each particle is given below the equation. Calculate the energy released by this fusion reaction per gram of helium formed, and compare it with the energy generated by the fission of 1 g 235U (8 × 107 kJ/g).
