Review. Consider the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction with the tritium nucleus at rest:

Answer 1

Considering the deuterium-tritium fusion reaction with the tritium nucleus at rest: ¹₂H + ¹₃H → ²₄He + ⁰₁n  the electric potential energy (in electron volts) at this distance is 17.58MeV

How is the electric potential energy of deuterium-tritium fusion reaction calculated?

The reaction is  ¹₂H + 1₃H → ²₄He + ⁰₁n

Value of Q = (Mass of ¹₂H + Mass of ¹₃H - Mass of ²₄He- Mass of n) x 931 MeV

Mass of ¹₂H = 2.014102

Mass of ¹₃H = 3.016049

Mass of ²₄He = 4.002603

Mass of n = 1.00867

Therefore Value of Q = [2.014102+3.016049−4.002603−1.00867] × 931 MeV

Therefore Value of Q = 0.01887 × 931 MeV

= 17.58MeV
