When are elements heavier than iron formed by stars?(1 point)
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The answer <em>should</em> be 2. as a dying star explodes

Explanation:

I do not have this class, but I am knowledgeable when it comes to stars. A dying star undergoing an event known as a Supernova compresses the core of the star much further than normal, causing rapid fusion to occur. This is extremely prominent in very large stars, which form extremely heavy elements such as Gold and Uranium.

Describe the effect of subjecting hydrogen to pressure​
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

When hydrogen is subjected to large enough pressure, it solidifies according to theory.

Explanation:

According to theory, when  hydrogen molecules are subjected to enormous degree of pressure the molecules will solidify.

What happens here is that the hydrogen–hydrogen bonds in the hydrogen molecule will break apart and the molecules collapses into hydrogen atoms.

Hence, when hydrogen is subjected to large enough pressure, it solidifies according to theory.

1. A solution is made by mixing 50mL of 2.0M K2HPO4 and 25mL of 2.0M KH2PO4. The solution is diluted to a final volume of 200mL.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The pH of the final solution is 7.15

Explanation:

50 mL of 2.0 M of K_2HPO_4 and 25 mL of 2.0 M of KH_2PO_4 were mixed to make a solution

Final volume of the solution after dilution = 200 mL

Final concentration of K_2HPO_4, [K_2HPO_4] = \frac{50 mL\times 2 M}{200 mL} = 0.5 M

Final concentration ofKH_2PO_4, [KH_2PO_4] = \frac{25 mL\times 2 M}{200 mL} = 0.25 M

We use Hasselbach- Henderson equation:

pH = pK_a+ log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}pka of KH_2PO_4 = 6.85

Substituting the values:

pH = 6.85+ log \frac{0.5}{0.25}pH = 6.85+ log 2pH = 6.85+ 0.3 = 7.15

Therfore,  the pH of the final solution is 7.15
