The energy released in fusion reaction \( ^2_1H + ^2_1H \rightarrow ^3_2He + n \) where Binding Energy of \( ^2_1H = 2.23 \text{ MeV} \) and of \( ^3_2He = 7.73 \text{ MeV} \), would be

  1. A 32.7 MeV
  2. B 3.27 MeV
  3. C 27.3 MeV
  4. D 73.2 MeV
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3.27 MeV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{Q} = \text{BE}(^3_2He) - 2 \times \text{BE}(^2_1H) = 7.73 \text{ MeV} - 2 \times 2.23 \text{ MeV} \) \( \text{Q} = 3.27 \text{ MeV} \)
