One in 4 600 water molecules contains a deuterium atom. If all the deuterium could be extracted from 1 m3 of water and then reacted, how much energy could be obtained? (Each D-D fusion liberates 3.65 MeV of energy, 1 MeV = 1.6 × 10^–13 J, ?water = 103 kg/m3, one mole of water has a mass of 18 g, and NA = 6.02 × 10^23)

a. 4.2E+12 J
b. 1.3E+25 J
c. 3.5E+11 J
d. 2.1E+12 J
e. 6.9E+14 J
