The binding energy of deuteron \({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}\) is 1.112 MeV per nucleon and an α–particle \({ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{H}\) has a binding energy of 7.047 MeV per nucleon. Then in the fusion reaction \({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}+{ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H} \rightarrow{ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{H}+\mathrm{Q},\)the energy Q released is
  1. 1 MeV
  2. 11.9 MeV
  3. 23.8 MeV
  4. 931 MeV

Answer

(C) 23.8 MeV
