Why are red dwarfs not able to fuse helium to heavier elements?

Chemistry

Fusing helium into heavier elements requires extreme pressure and temperature. However red dwarfs' gravity is simply not enough to bring helium atom close enough to each other for fusion to occur. Therefore, red dwarfs not able to fuse helium to heavier elements.☺

Calculate the change in energy when 75.0 grams of water drops from<br> 31.0C to 21.6.
zysi [14]

Answer: Step 1: Calculate qsur (the surrounding is

usually the water)

qsur = ? J

m = 75.0 g water

c = 4.184 J/g

oC

ΔT = (Tfinal- Tinitial)= (21.6 – 31.0) = -9.4 oC

qsur = m · c · (ΔT)

qsur = (75.0g) (4.184 J/g

oC) (-9.4 oC)

qsur = - 2949.72 J

First, using the information we know that we

must solve for qsur, which is the water. We know

the mass for water, 75.0g, the specific heat of

the water, 4.184 j/g

o

c, and the change in

temperature, 21.6-31.0 = -9.4 oC. Plugging it

into the equation, we solve for qsur.

Step 2: Calculate qsys qsys = - (qsur)

qsys = - (- 2949.72 J)

qsys = + 2949.72

In this case, the qsur is negative, which means

that the water lost energy. Where did it go? It

went to the system. Thus, the energy of the

system is negative, opposite, the energy of the

surrounding.

Step 3: Calculate moles of the substance

that is the system

Given: 12.8 g KCl

Mol system = (g system given)

(molar mass of system)

Mol system = (12.8 g KCl)

(39.10g + 35.45g)

Mol system = 12.8 g KCl

74.55 g

Mol system = 0.172

Here, we solve for the mol in the system by

using the molar mass of the material in the

system.

Step 4: Calculate ΔH ΔH = q sys .

Mol system

ΔH= + 2949.72 J

0.172 mol

ΔH= +17179.81 J/mol or +1.72 x 104

J/mol

The thermochemical equation for the reaction of carbon dioxide with sulfur dioxide is shown below. How can the reaction be descr
prisoha [69]

Answer: d. has high activation energy

Activation energy is the energy that a system requires to start a certain process. Also, it <u>is the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur</u>. For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy equal to the activation energy.

As the molecules approach, their electron clouds repel, so energy is required for the collision to occur and therefore the reaction. The activation energy comes from the heat of the system, that is, the translational, vibrational energy, etc. of each molecule. However, if this energy is not enough, the reaction will not be spontaneous.

<u>A reaction between two molecules can be favored by supplying energy to the system.</u> In the case raised in the question, <u>energy equal to 1104 kJ is provided to the system to favor the next reaction </u>

CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g) → CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g)

<u>Since the energy equal to 1104 kJ is included in the reactants, it can be deduced that it is the energy that is provided to the system for the reaction to occur. </u>However, from the value of this energy it can not be said whether the system is endothermic or exothermic since it is a kinetic variable and the variables of this type do not allow predicting the thermodynamic behavior of a system.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the value of this energy is considerably high, therefore the reaction described has a high activation energy.
