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!

Tetrachloromethane, CCl4 is produced from the substitution reaction between methane and chlorine gas. If the rate of formation o
Korolek [52]

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

For reaction :

\tt aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The rate reaction :

\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}

Reaction for formation CCl₄ :

<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>

<em />

From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³

Rate of formation of  CCl₄  = reaction rate x coefficient of  CCCl₄

0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂  = reaction rate x coefficient of  Cl₂

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³

Calculate the formula unit mass of CaCl2​
melomori [17]
Formula unit mass is defined as the sum of the mass of all the atoms each multiplied its atomic masses that are present in the empirical formula of a compound. It is expressed in amu.

Atomic mass of calcium = 40 amu

Atomic mass of chlorine = 35.5 amu

Formula mass of CaCl2 = (1 x 40) + (2 x 35.5) = 111amu.

Write the chemical equation for fot the reaction between mgcl2 and the soap you preapred
In-s [12.5K]
Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

                                     1.  Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa
                                   
                                     2.  Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

                2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 NaCl

                2C₁₇H₃₃COOK   + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.
