That is the point. The initial mass is larger - a small part of that stored energy is released in the reaction.Jasiu said:although sum of substrates's mass is greater than sum of products's mass?
There is no mass of the alpha (note the spelling) particle in the article about hydrogen isotopes.Jasiu said:It's wiki mistake about Alfa mass (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_hydrogen)
A fusion reaction between deuteron and tritium is a type of nuclear reaction where two light nuclei, specifically a deuteron (a nucleus of deuterium, which is a hydrogen isotope with one proton and one neutron) and a tritium (a hydrogen isotope with one proton and two neutrons), combine to form a heavier nucleus.
The energy released in fusion reactions between deuteron and tritium can vary, but on average it is around 17.6 MeV (megaelectron volts). This is significantly higher than the energy released in chemical reactions, making fusion reactions a potential source of clean and abundant energy.
The conditions required for a successful fusion reaction between deuteron and tritium are extremely high temperatures (on the order of millions of degrees Celsius) and pressures, as well as the presence of a plasma state of matter. These conditions are necessary to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged nuclei and allow them to fuse.
The potential applications of fusion reactions between deuteron and tritium include the generation of clean and abundant energy, as well as the production of medical isotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Fusion reactions are also being studied as a potential way to create new elements and study nuclear reactions.
Some of the challenges in achieving sustained fusion reactions between deuteron and tritium include the high temperatures and pressures required, as well as the difficulty in containing and controlling the plasma state of matter. Another challenge is finding suitable materials that can withstand the extreme conditions of fusion reactions without degrading or melting.
