Hello!

The process in which hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements is called Nuclear Fusion.

Nuclear Fusion happens when the repulsion between the two nuclei is overcome by the Strong Interaction Force, spending and releasing high amounts of energy.

The two nuclei need to be close enough for Nuclear Fusion to happen, and the energy needed to achieve that is given by the extremely hot temperatures that exist within stars (about 15 000 000 Kelvin). That's why this kind of reactions are common in stars. 

Have a nice day!

Calculate the number of oxygen atoms and its mass in 50g of CaCo3<br>​
xz_007 [3.2K]

The number of oxygen atoms = 3

Mass = 24 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The formula of a compound shows the composition of the constituent elements

CaCO₃ is composed of 3 types of elements, namely Ca, C and O

The amounts of each of these elements in the compound CaCO₃:

  • Ca = 1
  • C = 1
  • O = 3

So the number of oxygen atoms = 3

mass of Oxygen :

\tt mass~O=\dfrac{3\times Ar~O}{MW~CaCO_3}\times mass~CaCO_3\\\\mass~O=\dfrac{3\times 16}{100}\times 50=24~g
