The binding energy of deuteron $_1^2H$ is $1.112 \, MeV$ per nucleon and an $\alpha$-particle $_2^4He$ has a binding energy of $7.047 \, MeV$ per nucleon. Then in the fusion reaction $_1^2H + _1^2H \to _2^4He + Q$,the energy $Q$ released is ........ $MeV$.

The binding energies per nucleon for a deuteron $(_{1}H^{2})$ and an $\alpha$-particle $(_{2}He^{4})$ are $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively. What will be the energy $Q$ released in the reaction $_{1}H^{2} + _{1}H^{2} \to _{2}He^{4} + Q$?
