On Dec 5, 2022, scientific history was made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California when nuclear fusion was achieved when the 192 lasers deposited about 2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy into a frozen pea sized deuterium-tritium pellet and ignited the pellet through nuclear fusion to release 3 MJ of energy. The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy?

In fact, the conversion of mass to energy in the Sun is not 100% efficient. As we have seen in the text, the conversion of four hydrogen atoms to one helium atom results in the conversion of about 0.02862 times the mass of a proton to energy. How much energy in joules does one such reaction produce? (See Appendix E for the mass of the hydrogen atom, which, for all practical purposes, is the mass of a proton.)
