Final answer:

The fusion reaction involves the reaction of hydrogen-1 with hydrogen-1 to produce helium-2 and a neutron. The energy released per mole of helium-2 formed is given as 1.69 x 10^9 kJ/mol. We can calculate the energy released per mole of fluorine-19 formed using stoichiometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fusion reaction mentioned involves the reaction of hydrogen-1 (²1H) with hydrogen-1 (²1H) to produce helium-2 (²2He) and a neutron (n). Since the reaction involves two hydrogen-1 atoms combining to form ²2He, we need to calculate the mass defect of this reaction.

The mass defect is the difference between the total mass of the reactants (2 x mass of ²1H) and the total mass of the products (mass of ²2He + mass of neutron). From the given masses of the atoms, we can calculate the mass defect.

Once we have the mass defect, we can use the equation E = mc² to calculate the energy released by the fusion reaction. The energy released per mole of ²2He formed is given as 1.69 x 10^9 kJ/mol. From this, we can calculate the energy released per mole of ¹9¹F formed using stoichiometry.
