It takes four hydrogen nuclei to create one helium nucleus in the proton–proton chain, which is the main energy source of the Su

n. If a single hydrogen nucleus has a mass of 1.6726×10−27 kg and a single helium nucleus has a mass of 6.6447×10−27 kg , how much mass is converted into energy to create three helium nuclei?

Answer:

0.1371 * 10 ^ -27 kg

Explanation:

From the question number of hydrogen nuclei used to form 3 Helium nuclei = 12 ( 4 * 3 )

mass of the 12 hydrogen nuclei = 12 *( 1.6726 *10^-27) = 20.0712 * 10 ^-27

mass of single helium = 6.6447 * 10 ^-27 kg

therefore the mass of the 3 helium = 3 *( 6.6447 *10 ^-27) = 19.9341 * 10 ^-27 kg

The mass difference between the hydrogen and the helium used

= (20.0712 * 10^ -27)  - (19.9341 * 10 ^-27) = 0.1371 * 10 ^ -27 kg

therefore 0.1371 * 10^-27 kg  is converted into energy to create the three helium nuclei

What changes dead plants and animals into ammonia compounds?
lapo4ka [179]

Nitrogen fixing bacteria changes dead plants and animals into ammonia compounds.

<h2>What is nitrogen fixation?</h2>

Atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrogen oxides by the action of lightning, which helps its incorporation into the soil.

<h3>Characteristics of Nitrogen fixing bacteria</h3>

  • Nitrogen is fixed by these bacteria and other prokaryotes through various metabolic processes, which convert it into different usable compounds, such as ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ion (NH4+).

  • These microorganisms can be found in soil and water, or as plant symbionts.

Therefore, we can conclude that nitrogen fixing bacteria fix nitrogen from the air, that is, they originate soluble compounds by plants, such as ammonia.

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

How to find the magnitude and direction of a resultant velocity?
mixas84 [53]
Find the horizontal components vcos30 ...one goes right and one goes left so they cancel each other.
Find vertical components vsin30.....there are two of them.... so 2vcos30....hey presto... resultant velocity = 2vCos30

Which is present when iodine changes from brown to blue or purple?
vladimir1956 [14]


If iodine is added to a starch solution, they react with each other and the iodine  darkens to an almost pitch black.

however, if iodine is added to a solution containing no starch, it will show up only as an extremely pale brown. almost colorless and hardly visible.

when following the changes in some inorganic oxidation reduction reactions, iodine may be used as an indicator to follow the changes of iodide ion and iodine element. soluble starch solution is added. only iodine element in the presence of iodide ion will give the characteristic blue black color. neither iodine element alone nor iodide ions alone will give the color result.

hope this answer really helps your question :)

What is the relationship between the valence electrons of an atom and the chemical bonds the atom can form?​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Valence electrons are outer shell electrons with an atom and can participate in the formation of chemical bonds. In single covalent bonds, typically both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair. The ground state of an atom is the lowest energy state of the atom.
