Why did the big bang not produce a significant proportion of elements heavier than helium?

Chemistry

Travka [436]1 year ago
7 0

The big bang did not produce a significant proportion of elements heavier than helium because the temperatures and densities present in the early universe were not sufficient to support the fusion of heavier elements.

During the first few minute of the big bang, the universe was composed of mostly hydrogen and helium, with very small amounts of lithium and beryllium. As the universe expanded and cooled, the denser regions of the universe collapsed to form the first stars. Inside these stars, the intense pressure and heat generated by nuclear fusion reactions allowed for the production of heavier elements, such as carbon and oxygen. However, elements heavier than helium, such as iron and nickel, require even higher temperatures and densities to be produced, which can only be found in the cores of supernovae. Therefore, the big bang alone did not produce a significant proportion of elements heavier than helium.

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O <---> C6H12O6 + 6O2, WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?
Alex73 [517]

Increase in Oxygen shift the equilibrium towards reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This is the reaction occurs in the photosynthesis of plants by means of sunlight. In this case, if the concentration of Oxygen increases or adding more oxygen to the product side will shift the equilibrium towards the reactant side according to the Le Chatlier's principle, which adjusts the equilibrium by itself for any changes that is increase or decrease in pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products.

What is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.19 m aqueous solution?
Bumek [7]
Molality= mol/ Kg

if we assume that we have 1 kg of water, we have 3.19 moles of solute. 

the formula for mole fraction --> mole fraction= mol of solule/ mol of solution

1) if we have 1 kg of water which is same as 1000 grams of water. 

2) we need to convert grams to moles using the molar mass of water 

molar mass of H₂O= (2 x 1.01) + 16.0 = 18.02 g/mol

1000 g (1 mol/ 18.02 grams)= 55.5 mol

3) mole of solution= 55.5 moles + 3.19 moles= 58.7 moles of solution

4) mole fraction= 3.19 / 58.7= 0.0543
