<h2>Answer: The nucleus becomes entirely helium.</h2>

To shine, the stars transform their hydrogen into helium by means of <u>nuclear fusion</u>. When at half of its life a star is without hydrogen, the nucleus becomes entirely helium and <u>the star declines, becoming colder and brighter due to the energy generated by the nuclear reactions, then the star begins to contract. </u>

Nevertheless, if the star is bigger, this helium will be also consumed and the nucleus transformed in Carbon, then in Oxigen, and so on. Being the last transformation Iron until the star delivers all its energy.

Note this process will depend on how massive the star is.

I think the best answer would be the last option. The main purpose of a service panel in a house is to keep electrical hazards localized. Service panels are used to identify circuit loads and isolate these loads so when you want to check the equipment you can easily identify the line. Also, it would serve as the isolation point to avoid any electrical hazards.

Answer : The change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given main reaction is,

$4XY_3+7Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z+4XZ_2$ $\Delta H=?$
