An astronomer is a guest speaker at your school. She states that iron is the very last product in stellar fusion. Why would she

say that? Why wouldn’t elements in stars fuse to make larger atoms than iron?
select one:
a. The star’s core has no more room left in the interior to fuse larger nuclides

b. It takes much more heat than the star has in its core to fuse iron with another atom.

c. Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.

d. Iron is a metal, and metals cannot undergo fusion.

Iron is the very last product in stellar fusion is that; Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.

The stability of an atom is dependent on the binding energy per nucleon of the atom.

The binding energy per nucleon of elements increases steadily until iron, we can see that from the curve very easily.

Beyond iron, we have exceeded the region of stable binding energy per nucleon of atoms. The atoms after iron in the curve are mostly unstable heavy nuclei.

Reika [66]

Answer:

2,2,4-Trimethyl-pentane

Explanation:

Structural characteristics of the compound is as follows:

  • Has five methyl group
  • Has one quaternary carbon
  • No. double bond
  • Gives four monochloro substitution products

Compound must have straight chain of 5 carbons.

Three methyl substituents are attached to 2 and 4 carbons.

Therefore, IUPAC name of the compound will be 2,2,4-Trimethyl-pentane.

How many milliliters of a 3.0 M HCL solution are required to make 250.0 millimeters of 1.2 M HCL?
White raven [17]
The problem above can be solved using M1V1=M2V2  where M1 is the concentration of the concentrated, V1 is the volume of the concentrated solution, M2 is the concentration of the Dilute Solution, V2 is the Volume of the dilute solution. Hence,

(3.0 M)(V2)=(250 mL)(1.2M)
V2 (3.0)= 300
V2= 100 mL

Therefore, you need 100 mL of 3.0 M HCl to form a 250 mL of 1.2 M HCl.
