A commonly used fusion reaction is ²₁H + ³₁H → ⁴₂He + ¹₀n. The mass of the reactants and products for this reaction are recorded in Table 4. Given u = 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ kg and c = 3.0 x 10⁸ m s⁻¹.

Using the information in Table 4, calculate the energy released in this reaction.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
