Correct answer: A
-
Energy from fusion of hydrogen
The given fusion reaction is:
So, 4 hydrogen atoms release .
Number of hydrogen atoms in
Since mole of hydrogen atoms has mass ,
Hence number of H atoms:
Number of fusion reactions possible:
Therefore,
-
Energy from fission of of
Molar mass of is .
Number of moles in :
Number of nuclei:
Each nucleus gives .
Therefore,
-
Compute the ratio
Cancel :
Since ,
Hence,
-
Choose the nearest option
The closest option is:
So, Option A is the best answer.
-
Why slight difference appears
The exact calculation using the given data gives about . In exam problems, small differences can arise due to rounding/approximate atomic masses used. Among the options, is the nearest and hence correct.
