Answer:

How star stuff got to Earth

When it has exhausted its supply of hydrogen, it can die in a violent explostion, called a nova. The explosion of a massive star, called a supernova, can be billions of times as bright as the Sun , according to "Supernova," (World Book, Inc., 2005). Such a stellar explosion throws a large cloud of dust and gas into space, with the amount and composition of the material expelled varying depending on the type of supernova.

A supernova reaches its peak brightness a few days after it first occurred, during which time it may outshine an entire galaxy of stars. The dead star then continues to shine intensely for several weeks before gradually fading from view, according to "Supernova."

The material from a supernova eventually disperses throughout interstellar space. The oldest stars almost exclusively consisted of hydrogen and helium, with oxygen and the rest of the heavy elements in the universe later coming from supernova explosions, according to "Cosmic Collisions: The Hubble Atlas of Merging Galaxies," (Springer, 2009).

"It's a well-tested theory," Impey said. "We know that stars make heavy elements, and late in their lives, they eject gas into the medium between stars so it can be part of subsequent stars and planets (and people)."

Cosmic connections

So, all life on Earth and the atoms in our bodies were created in the furnace of now-long-dead stars, he said.

In 2002, music artist Moby released "We Are All Made of Stars," explaining during a press interview that his lyrics were inspired by quantum physics. "On a basic quantum level, all the matter in the universe is essentially made up of stardust," he said.

Andrew [12]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

AlBr3 can be used as a catalyst in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction. The correct name for the compound represented by the formula AlBr3 is —

aluminum bromide

monoaluminum tribromide

aluminide bromine

aluminum tribromide

Answer:

aluminum bromide

Explanation:

Having known that AlBr3 is an ionic compound and aluminium is the central atom here, we now have to ask ourselves if Aluminium exists in other stable oxidation states.

We must take cognizance of the fact that the oxidation number of the central atom in a compound becomes part of the name of that compound when other stable oxidation states for atoms of the same elements exists.

Since the +3 state is the only stable oxidation state for aluminium, the name of the compound is simply aluminium bromide.

Is bioluminescence an endothermic process bioluminescence an endothermic process or exothermic process?\?
vichka [17]
Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that takes place in a living organism when the organism emits light. Bioluminescence doesn't consume or produce heat, hence it can be neither endothermic nor exothermic reaction. It emits a heatless light not heat.
For bioluminescence, it could be said that it is an exoenergetic reaction because it uses energy from a chemical reaction to produce light.

What istope of an atom if it has 29 protons and 36 neutrons?<br>​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Copper Atoms

Explanation:

All copper atoms have atomic number 29: all their nuclei contain 29 protons. But they also contain uncharged particles called neutrons. In natural copper, the atoms are of two kinds. One has 29 protons and 34 neutrons in the nucleus; the other has 29 protons and 36 neutrons

Calculate the standard molar enthalpy for the complete combustion of liquid ethanol (C2H5OH) using the standard enthalpies of fo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

For the reaction

C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + 3 H2O

We can calculate the  standard molar enthalpy of combustion using the standard enthalpies of formation of the species involved in the reaction according to Hess law:

ΔHºc =  2ΔHºf CO2 (g) + 3ΔHºfH2O(l)  - ( ΔHºf C2H5OH (l) - 3ΔHºfO2 (g) )

( we were not give the water state but we know we are at standard conditions so it is in its liquid state )

The ΔHºfs can be found in appropiate reference or texts.

ΔHºc =  2ΔHºf CO2 (g)+ 3ΔHºfH2O(l)  - (  ΔHºf C2H5OH (l) -+3ΔHºfO2 (g) )

= [ 2 ( -393.52 ) + 3 ( -285.83 ) ] - [(  -276.2 + 0 ) ] kJ

ΔHºc =  -1368.33 kJ
