The source of our Sun's energy is a series of fusionreactions. Mainly, four protons become a helium nucleus plus twopositrons, plus two neutrinos (which have no rest mass), plusenergy which is radiated. What fraction of the initial mass of thefour protons is transformed into energy in this process? DATA:Proton mass = 1.007276 u; Electron (or positron) mass = 0.000549 u;Helium nucleus mass = 4.001506 u.

The total power radiated by the Sun is about 3.83 e+26 Watts. Calculate the total mass of protons and electrons transformed into helium in a period of 36.0 hours? (1u = 1.66e-27 kg).
