In a thermonuclear reaction, the total initial mass is 5.02 x 10-27kg and the total final mass is 0.01 x 10-27kg. The energy released in the process is

[c = 3.0 x 108ms-1]

A
9.0 x 10-13J
B
9.0 x 10-12J
C
9.0 x 10-11J
D
9.0 x 10-10J

Correct Option: A

In thermonuclear reactions,

Energy = ∆mC2

∆m = Change in Mass

C = Speed of light

∴ 5.02 x 10-27 - 5.01 x 10-27 x [3 x 108]2

0.01 x 10-27 x 9 x 1016

E = 9.0 x 10-13J
