B. White Dwarf.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The star would eventually run out of hydrogen fuel in the core. The core would shrink and heats up. As the temperature in the core increases, some of the helium in the core will undergo the triple-alpha process to produce elements such as Be, C, and O. The triple-alpha process will heat the outer layers of the star and blow them away from the core. This process will take a long time. Meanwhile, a planetary nebula will form.

As the outer layers of gas leave the core and cool down, they become no longer visible. The only thing left is the core of the star. Consider the Chandrasekhar Limit:

Chandrasekhar Limit: 1.4 \;M_\odot.

A star with core mass smaller than the Chandrasekhar Limit will not overcome electron degeneracy and end up as a white dwarf. Most of the outer layer of the star in question here will be blown away already. The core mass of this star will be only a fraction of its 0.5 \;M_\odot, which is much smaller than the Chandrasekhar Limit.

As the star completes the triple alpha process, its core continues to get smaller. Eventually, atoms will get so close that electrons from two nearby atoms will almost run into each other. By Pauli Exclusion Principle, that's not going to happen. Electron degeneracy will exert a strong outward force on the core. It would balance the inward gravitational pull and prevent the star from collapsing any further. The star will not go any smaller. Still, it will gain in temperature and glow on the blue end of the spectrum. It will end up as a white dwarf.

How does distance affect work pls quick its 15 points pls keep it short pls help!!!!
ra1l [238]
The simple equation used to calculate work is force multiplied by distance, thus as this is the case increasing the distance by a certain amount, assuming the force applied to the object is constant, the amount of work you are doing on the box for instance pushing it, is going to be greater

Since you are pushing the box with the same force covering a greater distance with the force.

Explain why a solution has a lower boiling point than the pure solvent
KonstantinChe [14]
Because the intention is to boil the solution, the purpose of the solvent is to dissolve so it has a higher boiling point so ensure it stays in liquid form and doesn't evaporate into a gas

also, a pure solvent is made of 1 substance so it has 1 boiling point and the solution must evaporate/boil first

What is the preasure in atmospheres of 20 mol of nitrogen gas in 36.2 L cylinder at 25 degrees C?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

P = 13.5 atm

Explanation:

Given that

No. of moles, n = 20 moles

Volume of nitrogen gas = 36.2 L

Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

We need to find the pressure of the gas. Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

Where

R is gas constant, R=0.082057\ L-atm/K-mol

So,

P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{20\times 0.082057\times 298}{36.2 }\\\\P=13.5\ atm

so, the pressure of the gas is equal to 13.5 atm.

Which electrolyte is stronger, NaOH or Ca(OH)2? Why?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

NaOH

Explanation:

Look at charge Na has +1 charge and Ca has +2 charge after dissociation . Greater charge Stronger lattice. And as we need weak Lattice, so NaoH is stronger base than Ca(OH)2.

The balanced equation for a hypothetical reaction is a + 5b + 6c → 3d + 3e. what is the rate law for this reaction? rate = k [a]
nekit [7.7K]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct rate of the reaction is Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law of the reaction is the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in the terms of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each term raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

For the given reaction:

a+5b+6c\rightarrow 3d+3e

The expression for the rate law will be: Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6
