What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun’s core?

Chemistry

sergey [27]3 years ago

Answer:

Helium is created from hydrogen in the sun's core.

Four hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse to produce

  • one helium-4 nucleus, two neutrons,
  • two positrons, and
  • two electron neutrinos.

Explanation:

Step One:

{\rm ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H\to ^2_1 H + e^{+}} + v_e.

Two hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse. One proton will convert to a neutron. The products will be

  • one hydrogen-2 nucleus,
  • one positron, and
  • one electron neutrino.

Step Two:

\rm ^1_1 H +^2_1 H \to ^3_2 He.

There are plenty of hydrogen-1 nuclei available in the core of the sun. The hydrogen-2 nucleus from step one will fuse with a hydrogen-1 nucleus. The product is

  • one helium-3 nucleus.

Step Three

\rm ^3_2 He + ^3_2 He \to ^4_2 He + ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H.

Two helium-3 nuclei from step two react with each other. The products are:

  • one helium-4 nucleus, and
  • two hydrogen-1 nuclei.

The overall reaction will be:

{\rm 6\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; ^1_1 H+2\; e^{+}}+v_\text{e}.

{\rm 4\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; e^{+}} + v_\text{e}

In other words, hydrogen nuclei in the core of the sun fuse together to form helium.

When the submarine's density is equal to the density of the surrounding seawater, the submarine will maintain depth. If a 103200
GaryK [48]

Answer:

2.023 m^3 is the total displacement (volume) of the submarine.

Explanation:

Mass of water carried by submarine at 1000 ft depth = m = 2100 kg

The density of seawater at 1000 ft depth = d = 1033 kg/m^3

Volume of the water displaced = V= ?

Total displacement of the submarine = Volume of the water displaced = V

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{2100 kg}{1033 kg/m^3}=2.023 m^3

2.023 m^3 is the total displacement (volume) of the submarine.

Using the method of initial rates for the reaction a → b, if the initial concentration of a is doubled and the rate of reaction
zmey [24]
Answer is: reaction is second order with respect to a.
This second order reaction<span> is proportional to the square of the concentration of reactant a.
</span>rate of reaction = k[a]².
k is second order rate constant and have unit M⁻¹·s⁻¹.
Integrated rate law for this reaction: <span><span>1/[a]</span>=<span>1/<span>[a]</span></span></span>₀ <span>+ kt.
t is time in seconds..</span>
