Answer

$28.296MeV$

Work Step by Step

First of all, we find the mass of two protons, two neutrons and two electrons: $m_f=2(1.007276u)+2(1.008665u)+2(0.000549u)$ $\Delta m=m_f-m_i$ $\implies \Delta m=4.03298u-4.002603u=0.030377u$ Now $E=mc^2$ $\implies E=0.030377u(\frac{931.49MeV}{1u})$ $E=28.296MeV$
