Solution Summary

The expert computes the energy released in joules per event and in kilojoules per mole when antiprotons annihilate with protons.

Solution Preview

Equation: 1 H + 1 H ---> energy

(^ indicates to the power of)
mass of 1 proton= mass of 1 antiproton= 1.6726 x ^-27 kilograms

Release of energy = E = delta m c ^2
delta m=mass that is annihilated= 2 x ...
