Question

Can anyone help me to calculate the energy released when 7Li and a deuteron (d) fuse to form 9Be,

Given only mass excess 7Li 16004 uu, d 14102 uu , and 9Be 12182 uu

uu might be microunit perhaps ???

Thank you explanation would be good thanks

Answer 1

To convert atomic mass units , uu, to kilograms see:

Then use E = m c^2
