    Great question! Over 4 billion kilograms (or about 500 million tons) of hydrogen is converted to energy every second in the sun's core via fusion. Hard to fathom....

    Here's a nice homework set solution from a Berkeley course where your question is worked out (#2.c.). http://cse.ssl.berkeley.e...0/2000/hw/soln4.html
