    If 1 g of hydrogen is converted into 0.993 g of helium in a thermonuclear reaction, then the energy released in this reaction will be:

    A)  \[0.63\times {{10}^{10}}J\]   

    B)  \[6.63\times {{10}^{14}}J\]

    C)  \[63\times {{10}^{10}}J\]

    D)  \[0.63\times {{10}^{7}}J\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Einstein by its theory of relativity proved that mass and energy are related to each other. If a substance loses an amount AM of its mass, an equivalent amount \[\Delta E\]of energy is produced, where \[\Delta E=(\Delta M)\,{{c}^{2}}\] where c is velocity of light. Mass. of hydrogen, \[{{m}_{1}}=1\,g=1\times {{10}^{-3}}kg\] Mass of helium, \[{{m}_{2}}=0.993\,g=0.993\times {{10}^{-3}}kg\] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta E=[\,(1\times {{10}^{-3}})-(0.993\times {{10}^{-3}})]\] \[\times \,{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}\] \[\Delta E=7\times {{10}^{6}}\times 9\times {{10}^{16}}\] \[\Delta E=63\times {{10}^{10}}J\]
