    How long an electric lamp of 100 W can be kept glowing by fusion of 2.0 kg of deuterium ? The fusion reaction can be taken as .  

    Answer:

    Power of lamp, P = 100 W and mass of deuterium =s 2 kg From the reaction given in the exercise, we find that 2 nuclei of  combine to give 3.2 MeV of energy. Now 2 g of  is equivalent to 6-023 x 1023 nuclei 2 kg of is equivalent tonuclei The energy released for combination of 6.023 x 1026 nuclei, Using or we get   years years.
