If a star can convert all theHenuclei completely into oxygen nuclei, the energy released per oxygen nuclei is:(Mass of the helium nucleus is4.0026 amuand mass of oxygen nucleus is15.9994 amu)

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

4( 2He4 ) = 8O16

Mass defect,Δm=4(4.0026)-15.9994=0.011amu

Therefore Energy released per oxygen nuclei

= (0.011) (931. 48) MeV

= 10.24 MeV

Therefore the Correct answer is (10.24 MeV).
