Calculate the energy that can be obtained from 1 kg of water through the fusion reaction
2H + 2H →3H + p.
Assume that 1.5 × 10–2% of natural water is heavy water D2O (by number of molecules) and all the deuterium is used for fusion.
Given, 18g of molecules contain 6.023× 1023atoms
1kg of molecules contain atoms
% of deuterium atoms=No. of atoms in 1kg of water× % of deuterium
Energy of deuterium
= 1507mJ
