if you could generate energy by fusing the hydrogen in solution a, how much of the solution would you need to generate the electrical energy used daily in a certain home? energy released by fusion of hydrogen in 1 liter of solution A = 7.6*10^10 Electrical energy used daily in a certain family home = 3*10^4

Answer:

We know that:

Energy released by fusion of hydrogen in 1 liter of solution A = 7.6x10^10 J

Energy used daily in a certain family home = 3x10^4 J

(you did not write the units, so i suppose that are the same in both cases)

Then, if x is the number of liters of solution A used, the energy produced will be:

E(x) = x*7.6x10^10 J

And we want this equal to 3x10^4

then:

E(x) = x*7.6x10^10 J = 3x10^4 j

now we solve this for x.

x = (3x10^4 j)/(7.6x10^10 j) = 3.9x10^-7

Then you need to use 3.9x10^-7 L of solution a.
