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.

The relatively high boiling point of water is due to water having

Verizon [17]

The answer should be hydrogen bonding. Water only has oxygen and hydrogen in it, which are both nonmetals, so you know the answer cannot be metallic or ionic. It also cannot be nonpolar because the electronegativity of the oxygens will make the molecule polar. You can also know it is hydrogen bonding because it can only take place when a hydrogen is attached to an oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen. These bonds are very strong attractions, so the molecules are extremely hard to pull apart, creating a high boiling point. Hope that helps!

What pressure is required to reduce 40 ml of a gas at standard conditions to 20 ml at a temperature of 21?c? answer in units of

ElenaW [278]

If you need half the volume, you need double the pressure (V * p). Normal air pressure in the atmosphere is 101300 Pa so that means you need double that, thus 202600 Pa (or 2,026 bars)

Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?

wariber [46]

In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".

Which of the following shows the conservation of mass during cellular respiration? 3 CO2 3 H2O energy → 3 C6H12O6 3 O2 6 CO2 6 H

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The reaction that has been, following the law of conservation of mass has been $\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy$ .

The law of conservation has been given in the chemical reaction that there has been no loss or gain of the mass and energy.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element on the product and the reactant side.

<h3 /><h3>Conservation of mass in Cellular respiration</h3>

The following reactions have been identified as:

$\rm 3\;CO_2\;+\;3\;H_2O\;+\;Energy\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 3

Product = 18

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 9

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 36

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

$\rm 3\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 6

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 24

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

$\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 6

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 18

Product = 18

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

The number of atoms is equal on the product and reactant side, thus follows the law of conservation of mass.

$\rm 6\;H_2O\;+\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;\rightarrow\;6\;O_2\;+\;Energy$

Carbon atoms

Reactant = 6

Product = 0

Oxygen atoms

Reactant = 12

Product = 12

Hydrogen atoms

Reactant = 24

Product = 0

The number of atoms is not equal on the product and reactant side, thus not follows the law of conservation of mass.

Thus, the reaction that has been following the law of conservation of mass has been $\rm C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;6\;O_2\;\rightarrow\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Energy$ .
