Answer:

Nuclear fusion plays an important role in making elements that are heavier than helium.

Explanation:

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nuclei are created from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons) and nuclei. According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a few minutes after the Big Bang, through nuclear reactions in a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis.

In order to synthesize a new element, there must be a change in the number of protons. We should remember that elements are known by the number of their protons as it represents their atomic number.

Elements heavier than helium are formed by nuclear nucleosynthesis in which nuclear fusion plays a very crucial role as typified by the equations shown in the question.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. How long will it take for 112. 5 g of a 120. 0-g sample to decay radioactively? 5,730

vichka [17]

The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.

<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>

Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:

T = (n)(t), where

t = half life time = 5730 years
n = number of half life required for the decay

Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g

Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g

Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g

Number of required half life for this will be:

1: 120 → 60
2: 60 → 30
3: 30 → 15
4: 15 → 7.5

4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get

T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years

Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.

Of the choices below, which is true for the relationship shown? It is Ka for the acid H3P2O72−. It is Kb for the acid H3P2O72−.

Naily [24]

The expression for the Ka for the given acid is:

Ka = [H2P2O7^2-] [H3O+] /[H3P2O7^2-]

<span>Ka is the acid dissociation constant or the acidity constant. It is a measure of the acid strength when in solution. It is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation of the acid.</span>
