The discussion revolves around calculating the energy released from the fusion of deuterium atoms, specifically focusing on the fusion of two deuterium nuclei to form tritium and hydrogen. The original poster presents a calculation based on given atomic mass units (amu) and expresses confidence in a specific energy output.
There is an ongoing exploration of the calculations presented, with some participants questioning the steps taken and clarifying terms like "molar mass." While some participants have adjusted their calculations based on insights from others, there is no explicit consensus on the correct approach yet.
Participants are working within the constraints of a homework problem, which may limit the information available for discussion. The original poster expresses certainty about a specific energy value, but this is being critically examined by others.
Yes, but why twice (0.5, then /2)?desmond iking said:So I divide 2
Sorry, you've lost me. What are Mrr and 2g in this context?desmond iking said:Mrr is 2g. And there re 2 H atom sow I divide 2 twice
molar mass of deuterium= 2gharuspex said:Sorry, you've lost me. What are Mrr and 2g in this context?
Ah, OK. I didn't recognise it because you truncated it from the given 2.01402.desmond iking said:molar mass of deuterium= 2g
