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!

Write balanced equations for each of the following by inserting the correct coefficients in the blanks:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Balanced equation :

Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s)  + 2KNO₃(aq)

Balancing a chemical equation :

A chemical equation shows us the substances involved in a chemical reaction - the substances that react (reactants) and the substances that are produced (products). In general, a chemical equation looks like this:

                                 Reactant →Product

According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction occurs, the mass of the products should be equal to the mass of the reactants. Therefore, the amount of the atoms in each element does not change in the chemical reaction. As a result, the chemical equation that shows the chemical reaction needs to be balanced. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.

Barium nitrate has the formula Ba( NO3)2. Which statement is true about barium nitrate?
OLga [1]
I found these four statements for that question:

Each molecule contains four different elements.

Each molecule contains three atoms.

Each molecule contains seven different bonds.

Each molecule contains six oxygen atoms.

The last one is true. Each molecule contains six oxygen atoms.
The number to the right of O and of (NO3) ares subscripts.


The chemical formula uses subscripts to indicate the number of atoms.



The subscript 2 in (NO3)2 means that there are two NO3 radicals.


And the subscript 3 to the right of O means that each NO3 radical has three atoms of O.

Then, the number of atoms of O is 2 * 3 = 6.


So, the true statement is the last one: each molecule of Ba (NO3)2 has six atoms of O.


From that molecule you can also tell:

- Each molecule contains one atom of barium

- Each molecule contains two atoms of nitrogen

- Each molecule contains two NO3 radicals

A total of 25.0 mL of 0.150 M potassium hydroxide (KOH) was required to neutralize 15.0 mL of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) of unknown c
Kamila [148]
We are told that KOH is being used to completely neutral H₂SO₄ according to the following reaction:

KOH + H₂SO₄ → H₂O + KHSO₄

If KOH can completely neutralize H₂SO₄, then there must be an equal amount of moles of each as they are in a 1:1 ratio:

0.025 L x 0.150 mol/L = .00375 mol KOH

0.00375 mol KOH x 1 mole H₂SO₄/1 mole KOH = 0.00375 mol H₂SO₄

We are told we have 15 mL of H₂SO₄ initially, so now we can find the original concentration:

0.00375 mol / 0.015 L = 0.25 mol/L

The concentration of H₂SO₄ being neutralized is 0.25 M.

Agata [3.3K]
The anode is the negative electrode and so will be donating electrons to assist in this chemical reaction occuring. All reactions accept electrons as reactants. The key issue is the reduction potential Eo (+1.8V). This is greatest for the reaction:

Co3+ + e -> Co2+

Therefore this reaction has the greatest tendency to occur.
