Metals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc. are extracted by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state.
These metals are not extracted by reduction of their oxides with carbon because:
Carbon has less affinity for oxygen than these metals
Carbon is a weaker reducing agent than these metals
These metals easily form oxides with oxygen, their oxides are very stable. Affinity to the oxygen is one the greatest of all elements.
Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are very strong reducing agents because they easily loose one or two valence electrons.
Electrolysis is a chemical methode that uses electric currents for chemical reactions.

Fusion releases less energy than fission
fusion most commonly combines heavy isotopes of hydrogen into helium.
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion is a form of reaction that involves the combination of two light nuclei to form one that is heavier in mass.
The other form is nuclear fission which is the splitting of heavier nuclei either spontaneously or when bombarded with other nuclei.
- Nuclear fusion reactions in the core of stars powers the universe.
- The reactions produces a huge amount of energy of a greater and massive order than fission reaction.
- Small nuclei are involved in nuclear fusion and not the large ones.
- Nuclear fusion degenerates into series of chain reactions that are extremely difficult to control.

U should try Chegg to be honest dats how I got through chemistry
Answer:
2.06 × 10⁻¹⁰
Explanation:
Let's consider the solution of a generic compound AB₂.
AB₂(s) ⇄ A²⁺(aq) + 2B⁻(aq)
We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product constant (Kps) using an ICE chart.
AB₂(s) ⇄ A²⁺(aq) + 2B⁻(aq)
I 0 0
C +S +2S
E S 2S
The solubility product constant is:
Kps = [A²⁺] × [B⁻]² = S × (2S)² = 4 × S³ = 4 × (3.72 × 10⁻⁴)³ = 2.06 × 10⁻¹⁰
The H+ in a solution that has a Ph of 8.73 is calculate as follows
Ph is always = - log (H+)
H+ = 10^-Ph
H+ is therefore = 10 ^- 8.73
H+ = 1.86 x10^-9 M
