Answer:

nuclear fusion

Andrews [41]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3>Nuclear fusion. The particular type of fusion depends on the temperature, which is dictated by the mass and age of the star in question. For stars on the main sequence, the primary source is fusion hydrogen into helium via what is called the p-p (proton-proton) chain. For higher mass stars, they fuse hydrogen into helium primarily via the CNO (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) cycle. As stars age off the main sequence, they can burn additional elements (such as helium, oxygen, silicone, etc), but these stages are much shorter.</h3>

Assume that a daily diet of 2000 calories (i.e. 8.37 x 106 J) is converted completely to body heat.
slava [35]

Answer:

(a) the mass of the water is 3704 g

(b) the mass of the water is 199, 285.7 g

Explanation:

Given;

Quantity of heat, H= 8.37 x 10⁶ J

Part (a) mass of water (as sweat) need to evaporate to cool that person off

Latent heat of vaporization of water, Lvap. = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg

H = m x Lvap.

m = \frac{H}{L._{vap}} =\frac{8.37 * 10^6.J}{2.26*10^6\ \frac{J}{kg}} = 3.704 \ kg

mass in gram ⇒ 3.704 kg x 1000g = 3704 g

Part (b) quantity of water raised from 25.0 °C to 35.0 °C by 8.37 x 10⁶ J

specific heat capacity of water, C, 4200 J/kg.°C

H = mcΔθ

where;

Δθ is the change in temperature = 35 - 25 = 10°C

m =\frac{H}{c* \delta \theta} = \frac{8.37 *10^6}{4200*10} = 199.2857 kg

mass in gram ⇒ 199.2857 kg x 1000 g = 199285.7 g

Which one of the following would have the largest dispersion forces?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2SH

Explanation:

Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a  non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 ×  3 ) +14 + (1 ×  2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction:

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

<h3>Explaination:</h3>

This is a typical neutralization reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, gives off heat,

ΔH < 0 , and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.

Doing so we obtain :

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)
