Of all the hydrogen in the oceans, 0.0300 % of the mass is deuterium. The oceans have a volume of 319 million mi³. If nuclear fusion were controlled and all the deuterium in the oceans were fused to ⁴₂He, the joules of energy  released is E = 6.912×10^-^1^2J

<h3>How is the energy in joules calculated for a controlled nuclear fusion with all the deuterium in oceans fused to ⁴₂He?</h3>

Given the percentage of hydrogen in the ocean = 0.300%

Volume of the ocean = 319 million mi³

Total volume of the ocean, V = 319 × 10^6 mi³

V = 1.330×10^1^8 m^3

Density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Avogadro's number =6.022 × 10^2^3

There are two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule

Molar mass of Hydrogen =2.016×10^-^3 kg/mole

Molar mass of deuterium molecule = 4.028204 × 10^-^3kg/mole

Total mass of sea = Volume × Density

= 1.330 × 10^2^1 kg

Total number of water molecules available in the given mass of water =

[Mass of sea water / Molar mass of water] × Avogadro's number

= 4.446 × 10^4^6

Total mass of hydrogen in the given mass of water =

[Number of water molecules × Molar mass of hydrogen molecule] /  Avogadro's number

= 1.488 × 10^2^0 kg

Total mass of deuterium in the calculated mass of hydrogen =

Mass of hydrogen × [ density / 100] =

4.464 × 10^1^6 kg

Total number of deuterium atoms available=

[Total mass of deuterium / Molar mass of deuterium molecule] × Avogadro's number × 2 = 1.335 × 10^4^6

The combined process consumes 6 deuterium atoms and produces two helium atoms and a total of

E = 43.2×10^6 eV of energy.

Therefore the energy release in the consumption of 6 atoms

E=43.2×10^6×1.6×10^1^910^-^1^9

E=6.912×10^-^1^2J

In a certain city, electricity costs $0.20 per kw·h. what is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 8.00 hours
UNO [17]

Part a)

per day electricity power consumed when 100 W bulb is used for 8 hours

P = 8 * 100 = 800 Wh

for one year consumption

E = 365 * 800 = 292 kWH

now the cost will be given

cost = 0.20 * 292 = $ 58.4

now when other energy efficient light is used

P = 8 * 25 = 200 Wh

for one year consumption

E = 365 * 200 = 73 kWH

now the cost will be given

cost = 0.20 * 73 = $ 14.6
