**Title: Nuclear Reaction in Supergiant Stars**It is believed that two carbon-12 nuclei can react in the core of a supergiant star to form sodium-23 and hydrogen-1. Calculate the energy released from this reaction for each mole of hydrogen formed.**Nuclear Reaction Equation:**\[ \, _{6}^{12}\text{C} + \, _{6}^{12}\text{C} \rightarrow \, _{11}^{23}\text{Na} + \, _{1}^{1}\text{H} \]**Particle Mass (amu):**- Carbon-12: 12.000000- Sodium-23: 22.989767- Hydrogen-1: 1.007825**Constants:**- 1 kg = 6.022 × 10²⁶ amu- Avogadro's Number (\(N_A\)) = 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹- Speed of Light (\(c\)) = 2.99792458 × 10⁸ m/s### ExplanationIn this reaction, the fusion of two carbon-12 nuclei results in the formation of sodium-23 and a proton (hydrogen-1). The masses are provided in atomic mass units (amu), and calculation of the energy released involves using the mass-energy equivalence principle. These reactions are typical in high-temperature environments, such as the cores of supergiant stars, and are crucial in the process of nucleosynthesis.

Well, here we have to use Einstein's equation, it says ΔE=ΔmC2 where Δm=mass defect C=speed of lightSo energy released from this reaction for the production of each mole of H is 2.164 x 1011 Joule
