Answer: Most of the stars in the universe are main sequence stars — those converting hydrogen into helium via nuclear fusion. A main sequence star may have a mass between a third to eight times that of the sun and eventually burn through the hydrogen in its core. Over its life, the outward pressure of fusion has balanced against the inward pressure of gravity. Once the fusion stops, gravity takes the lead and compresses the star smaller and tighter.

Temperatures increase with the contraction, eventually reaching levels where helium is able to fuse into carbon. Depending on the mass of the star, the helium burning might be gradual or might begin with an explosive flash.

The Half-Life of Pa-234 is 6.75 hours. How much (what fraction) of a sample of this isotope remains after 20.25 hours?

Grace [21]

So in one hour half the amount remains (that's what half life means). In two hours 1/4 (or half of half) would remain and in three hours 1/8 would remain.
So the answer is 1/8

What is the molality of an aqueous solution that contains 29.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) dissolved in 950 g of water (H2O)?

Gnesinka [82]

Molality is one way of expressing concentration of a solute in a solution. It is expressed as the mole of solute per kilogram of the solvent. To calculate for the molality of the given solution, we need to convert the mass of solute into moles and divide it to the mass of the solvent.

Molality = 29.5 g glucose (1 mol / 180.16 g ) / .950 kg water
Molality = 0.1724 mol / kg

Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.

Alina [70]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law of the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)$
