if a star can convert all the He nuclei completely into oxygen nuclei.The energy released per oxygen nuclei is: (mass of the helium nucleus is 4.0026 amu and mass of oxygen nucleus is 15.9994 amu):
a)7.6 Mev
b)56.12 Mev
​c)10.24 Mev
d)23.4 Mev
 

Dear Student,

4He42=O168So mass defect is,m=44.0026-15.994 amu=0.011 amuEnergy released per oxygen nuclei,E=0.011×931.48 MeVE=10.24 MeV
