Question

14. In a hypothetical star, two carbon nuclei
fuse to form magnesium. The reaction is :
(Take : 1 amu = 931 MeV/c-)
12 C +2 C 24 Mg
The energy released per carbon nuclei in
Mev is : (Mass of 24Mg = 23.985 amu)​

Answer 1

Answer:

is it useful

Explanation:

12C+12C→24Mg

mass of 12C=12.0642amu

Total input mass m1=2×12.0642

=24.1284 amu

Mass of 24Mg=output mass

=m0=23.955

mass loss =m1−mo

Am=24.1284−23.985

=0.1434amu

Energy released =0.1434×931Mev

=13.965Mev
