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

    A)              \[\text{63 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{20}}}\text{J}\]                            

    B)              \[\text{63 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{14}}\text{J}\]          

    C)                     \[\text{63 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{11}}\text{J}\]  

    D)                                     \[\text{63 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{10}}\text{J}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Here: Mass of hydrogen \[{{m}_{1}}=1g=1\times {{10}^{-3}}kg\] mass of helium \[{{m}_{2}}=0.993\,g\]       \[=0.993\times {{10}^{-3}}kg\] Energy released in this reaction \[E=\Delta m{{c}^{2}}=({{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}){{c}^{2}}\] \[=\{(1\times {{10}^{-3}})-(0.993\times {{10}^{-3}})\}\times {{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}\] \[=7\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 9\times {{10}^{16}}=63\times {{10}^{10}}J\]
