<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>

Can someone explain to me #4.

A) We balance the masses: 4(1.00728) vs 4.0015 + 2(0.00055)4.02912 vs. 4.0026This shows a "reduced mass" of 4.02912 - 4.0026 = 0.02652 amu. This is also equivalent to 0.02652/6.02E23 = 4.41E-26 g = 4.41E-29 kg.
b) Using E = mc^2, where c is the speed of light, multiplying 4.41E-29 kg by (3E8 m/s)^2 gives 3.96E-12 J of energy.
c) Since in the original equation, there is only 1 helium atom, we multiply the energy result in b) by 9.21E19 to get 3.65E8 J of energy, or 365 MJ of energy.
