Question:
In Example 30.7, we considered the energy produced by the fusion of two deuterium nuclei (21H).
(a) In the example, we found the energy in MeV. Convert this energy to joules.
(b) In seawater, deuterium has a concentration of 0.0003% relative to that of normal hydrogen (11H). If all the deuterium in 1.0 g of seawater undergoes fusion (as in Example 30.7), how much energy would be released?
