The volume of water in the ocean is approximately 1.36 ✕ 10¹⁸ m³ and 0.030% of the hydrogen in this water is deuterium. (Assume ρ_water = 1000 kg/m³ and the atomic masses M_H-2 and M_He-4 are 2.0141 u and 4.0026 u, respectively.)

(a) Determine the amount of energy (in J) that would be generated if all this deuterium fused to He-4.

(B)Determine the number of years this amount of energy could sustain the world's power consumption if it remained constant at the current value of 1.60 ✕ 10¹³ W.
