Question
The set of nuclear reactions that power our sun can be summarized as 4p+ -> 4He(+2) +2e+. The masses of the particles involved are 938.272 MeV/c 2 (proton, p+), 3727.38 MeV/c 2 (alpha particle, 4He+2), and 0.511 MeV/c 2 (positron, e+). How much energy is released by each set of these reactions? The set of nuclear reactions that power our sun can be summarized a .
