    The total mass of one atom of H-3 and H-1 is 4.02387 amu. The stated amu is 4.002603.

    There is a mass difference because it is being converted into energy.

    Mass difference is 0.021271 amu

    If it is converted to equivalent to grams per mole.

    Equal to 0.000021271 kg

    By using the Einsteins equation, E = mc∧2.

    Per mole is

    E=0.000021271 * 299792458∧2J

    E = 1.91174 * 10∧12 J per mole

    The reactant of one mole is 4.02387 grams

    The energy which is being released per gram of reactant is 4.751 * 10∧11J/g
