Given information
We need to find the ratio of the energy needed for the first reaction of the carbon cycle to the energy needed for a deuterium–tritium reaction .
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We follow the method of Example 31–9.
The reaction is 
.
.We calculate the potential energy of the particles when they are separated by the sum of their radii.
The radii are calculated from Eq. 30–1.
The deuterium–tritium reaction is
