If a 5.2 kg mass is completely converted into energy, how much energy, in joules, would be released? Compare this value to the amount of energy released when 5.2 kg of liquid water at 0°C freezes. (The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.34 ✕ 105 J/kg.)
When 4.00g of hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium in the sun, 0.0265 g of matter is converted into energy. Calculate how much energy is given off by using the mass converted to energy and the speed of light = 3.00x108 m/s and that a joule = kgꞏm2/s2
If 10 g of mass were completely converted to energy, how many Joules of energy would there be?

Each Hydrogen nuclei is 1.007825u (an atomic mass unit); one Helium nucleus is 4.00268u. What is the mass lost in the process (in u)? What is the % of the original mass? Write down the equation that determines the energy produced in this process. Calculate the energy created from 1 kilogram of hydrogen fused. (with units kg & m/s, answer will be Joules) The Sun’s luminosity (or power) is 4 x 1026 Watts (=J/s). How many kilograms of hydrogen must be fused every second to maintain this luminosity? (hint: work backwards from the energy per second to the mass released to the amount of hydrogen required, using the results from the previous question.) The Sun’s mass is ~2x1030 kg.
