Question

The binding energy of deuteron is 2.2 MeV and that of 24He is 28 MeV. If two deuteron are fused to from one 24He than the energy released is :-

Options

A.23.6 MeV   
B.19.2 MeV
C.30.2 MeV
D.25.8 MeV

Solution

2 Deuteron → 24He
Q = BE of product - BE of reactant
= [28 MeV - 2(2.2 MeV)]
= [28 - 4.4] = 23.6 meV
