A white dwarf will become a supernova if it accretes an additional 1.38 MSun from a companion. White dwarf stars have used up all of the hydrogen that was once used as nuclear fuel. Heat and outward pressure are produced by fusion in a star's core, but these pressures are balanced by the star's mass's inward pull of gravity.

They are the stellar cores that remain after a star has depleted its fuel supply and ejected the majority of its gas and dust into space. The white dwarf is considered "dead" because the atoms inside it no longer fuse to provide energy to the star.

which measurment describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree celsius?
ella [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Specific Heat

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specific heat is the measurement which describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.

It is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and the temperature change is usually expressed as shown below:

Q=cmΔT

where Q = heat added,

c= specific heat,

m=mass; and

ΔT = change in temperature

Examine the scenario. Two neutral objects, a balloon and a sweater, are rubbed against each other. Which choice most accurately
Ne4ueva [31]

Electrons move from the sweater to the balloon. The sweater becomes positively charged, while the balloon becomes negatively charged.

Explanation:

  • Sweater is a conductive material, which means it readily gives away its electrons.
  • Consequently, when you rub a balloon on Sweater, this causes the electrons to move from the Sweater to the balloon's surface.
  • The rubbed part of the balloon now acquired  a negative charge. Objects made of rubber, such as the balloon, are basically electrical insulators, meaning that they resist electric charges flowing through them.
  • This is why only part of the balloon may have a negative charge (where the wool rubbed it) and the rest may remain neutral after electrostatic process.

What does the ideal gas law allow a scientist to calculate that the other gas laws do not?
Anvisha [2.4K]

The ideal gas law allows a scientist to calculate the number of moles that the other gas laws do not. The ideal gas law is given as

P V = n RT

rearranging the equation by dividing both side by "RT", we get

PV/(RT) = nRT/(RT)

n = PV/(RT)

inserting the values of pressure, volume and temperature, we get number of moles.
