What does the sun do to generate energy?

Chemistry
2 answers:

Answer:

Fuse hydrogen atoms into helium.

Explanation:

The Sun, unlike the Earth, is made up primarily of hydrogen gas. The Earth, on the other hand, is made up of iron, water, rock, and other elements.

The core of the sun is the hottest part of it and there's an enormous amount of pressure at it. This causes that the hydrogens atoms fuse together because of the pressure and make a reaction known as the nuclear fusion that converts those atoms into helium ones and release big amounts of energy into the solar system.

I hope this answer helps you.

Within the core of the Sun, temperatures and pressures are high enough to fuse hydrogen atoms into helium, which is the Sun's main form of energy production. Assuming there was a slight mistake in where you have copied the results here the correct answer is the third option.
Hope this helps!

Elanso [62]

Answer 1. Since all the volcanic ash blocks out the sun's rays and is composed of many toxic chemicals including heavy amounts of anti-oxygen chemicals it will make the atmosphere around the volcano full of chemicals that make it hard for life to exist.

Answer 2. Photosynthesis is the process of converting water, Co^2, and sunlight into glucose and oxygen. Sunlight will be blocked out making it difficult for the plants to photosynthesize. Nearby waters will be contaminated too because of all the ash. The amount of C0^2 will be too overwhelming for most plants thereby killing many of them.

Answer 3. People can bring plants indoors and see that the plants are treated with care and properly. An alternative is to grow newer plants or gardens locally if possible. This will be ill-advised if you see lava coming straight towards your town.

Answer 4. Other events that can block out the sun are storms. If powerful enough they can block out the sun. Since the sun is our prime source of energy, we would seriously take a major hit population wise. Some plants might live if we use flashlights or other light alternatives. Animal's will die off and people eventually. Ends pretty bad and more complex.

Cu+2AgNO
baherus [9]

Answer:

Mass of Ag produced = 64.6 g

Note: the question is, how many grams of Ag is produced from 19.0 g of Cu and 125 g of AgNO3

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

From the equation above, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 2 moles of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO3)2.

Molar mass of the reactants and products are; Cu = 63.5 g/mol, Ag = 108 g/mol, AgNO3 = 170 g/mol, Cu(NO3)2 = 187.5 g/mol

To determine, the limiting reactant;

63.5 g of Cu reacts with 170 * 2 g of AgNO3,

19 g of Cu will react with (340 * 19)/63.5 g of AgNO3 =101.7 g of AgNO3.

Since there are 125 g of AgNO3 available for reaction, it is in excess and Cu is the limiting reactant.

63.5 g of Cu reacts to produce 108 * 2 g of Ag,

19 g of Cu will react to produce (216 * 19)/63.5 g of Ag = 64.6 g of Ag.

Therefore mass of Ag produced = 64.6g
