Problem

Using the value obtained in Question 3 (about 17.6 MeV per reaction), the energy released by one mole of

^{2}\!\mathrm{H}+{}^{3}\!\mathrm{H}

fusion reactions is approximately (take

N_A = 6.02\times10^{23}\,\text{mol}^{-1}

and

1\,\text{eV}=1.60\times10^{-19}\,\text{J}

) (a)

1.7\times10^{13}\,\text{J}

(b)

1.7\times10^{12}\,\text{J}

(c)

1.7\times10^{10}\,\text{J}

(d)

8.8\times10^{11}\,\text{J}
