1. Gebaseer op die volgende vergelyking van die fusie-reaksie, bepaal die energie wat in die fusiereaksie geproduseer word!

Oplossing
Mass of reactant and product :
Massa of reaktant (mreaktant) = 1.0078 amu + 1.0078 amu = 2.0156 amu
Mass of produk (mproduk) = 2.01410 amu + 0.00055 amu = 2.01465 amu
The loss of mass in the reaction :
Δm = mreaktant - mproduk
Δm = 2.01560 ame - 2.01465 ame
Δm = 0.00095 ame
The loss of mass in the reaction is 0.00095 sma.
1 amu = 931 MeV. 0.00095 amu = 0.00095 x 931 MeV = 0.88445 MeV.
amu = atomic mass unit
MeV = megaelectron-volt (unit of energy)
2. Based on the following equation of the fusion reaction, determine the energy produced in the fusion reaction!

oplossing:
Mass of reactant and product :
Massa of reaktant (mreaktant) = 2.014 ame + 3.016 ame = 5.03 ame
Mass of produk (mproduk) = 4.0026 ame + 1.0084 ame = 5.011 ame
The loss of mass in the reaction :
Δm = mreaktant - mproduk
Δm = 5.03 amu – 5.011 amu
Δm = 0.019 amu
The loss of mass in the reaction is 0.019 ame.
1 amu = 931 MeV. 0.019 amu = 0.019 x 931 MeV = 17.689 MeV = 17.69 MeV.
3. Based on the following equation of the fusion reaction, determine the energy produced in the fusion reaction!

oplossing:
Mass of reactant and product :
Massa of reaktant (mreaktant) = 13.0033 ame + 2.0141 ame = 15.0174 ame
Mass of produk (mproduk) = 14.0030 ame + 1.0078 ame = 15.0108 ame
The loss of mass in the reaction :
Δm = mreaktant - mproduk
Δm = 15.0174 ame - 15.0108 ame
Δm = 0.0066 ame
The loss of mass in the reaction is 0.0066 amu.
1 amu = 931 MeV. 0.0066 amu = 0.0066 x 931 MeV = 6.1446 MeV.
4. Based on the following equation of the fusion reaction, determine the energy produced in the fusion reaction.

oplossing:
Mass of reactant and product :
Massa of reaktant (mreaktant) = 4 (1.0078 ame) = 4.0312 ame
Mass of produk (mproduk) = 4.0026 ame + 0.0005 ame = 4.0031 ame
The loss of mass in the reaction :
Δm = mreaktant - mproduk
Δm = 4.0312 ame - 4.0031 ame
Δm = 0.0281 ame
The loss of mass in the reaction is 0.0281 amu.
1 amu = 931 MeV. 0.0281 amu = 0.0281 x 931 MeV = 26.1611 MeV.
