        The binding energy per nucleon of deuteron \[(_{1}^{2}H)\]and helium nucleus\[(_{2}^{4}He)\]is 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

    A)  13.9 MeV           

    B)  26.9 MeV

    C)  23.6 MeV           

    D)  19.2 MeV

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    As given \[_{1}{{H}^{2}}{{+}_{1}}{{H}^{2}}{{\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}}+energy\] The binding energy per nucleon of a deuteron \[{{(}_{1}}{{H}^{2}})\]                 \[=1.1\,MeV\] \[\therefore \]Total binding energy of one deuteron nucleus \[=2\times 1.1=2.2MeV\] The binding energy per nucleon of helium\[{{(}_{2}}H{{e}^{4}})\] \[=7\text{ }MeV\] \[\therefore \] Total binding energy \[=4\times 7=28\text{ }MeV\] Hence, energy released in the above process \[=28-2\times 2.2\] \[=28-4.4=23.6\text{ }MeV\]
