PLEASE HELP MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If 1 kg of fuel is used in the above fusion reaction, the resulting helium has a mass of 0.993 kg. In other words, 0.007 kg of mass is converted to energy. How much energy is produced by the fusion of 1 kg of hydrogen? (Hint: Use Einstein's equation, E = mc2, where E is energy in Joules, m is mass in kilograms, and c is the speed of light, 3 x 108 m/s.)
