Question

The following fusion reaction takes place in the Sun and furnishes much of its energy: H→ He + e + Energy + 0 1 4 2 1 1 4 2 where e 0 +1 is a positron (positively charged electron). How much energy is released as 1.00 kg of hydrogen is consumed? The masses of 1H, 4He, and e 0 +1 are, respectively, 1.007825 a.u, 4.002 6004 a.u, and 0.000549 a.u, where atomic electrons are included in the first two values.
