The nuclear reaction that powers the sun is the fusion of fourprotons into a helium nucleus. The process involves several steps,but the net reaction is simply 4p->He + energy. The mass of ahelium nucleus is known to be 6.64*10^-27kg.
a) How much energy is released in each fusion?
b)What fraction of the initial rest mass energy is thisenergy?
