Question

How much energy (J) is contained in 1.00 kg of water if its natural deuterium is used in the fusion reaction of Eq. 31–8a? Compare to the energy obtained from the burning of 1.0 kg of gasoline, about 5 x 10^7 J .

Accepted Answer

2.48 x 10^9 J  The energy from fusion of the deuterium in a given mass of natural water is 50 times that released by the same mass of gas.

How much energy (J) is contained in 1.00 kg of water if its natural deuterium is used in the fusion reaction of Eq. 31–8a? Compare to the energy obtained from the burning of 1.0 kg of gasoline, about $5 \times 10^7 \textrm{ J}$ .
