What does the sun do to generate energy?

Chemistry

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!

A horizontal cylinder equipped with a frictionless piston contains 785 cm3 of steam at 400 K and 125 kPa pressure. A total of 83
guapka [62]

Answer:

a. 478.69 K

b. 939.43 cm^{3}

c. 19.30 J

d. 64.5J

Explanation:

From the question, we can identify the following;

V_{o} = 785cm^{3} = 0.000785 m^{3}

T_{o} = 400K

P_{o} = 125 Kpa =  125 000 Pa

Using the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where R is the molar gas constant = 8.314 m^{3}⋅Pa⋅K^{-1}⋅mol^{-1}

Thus, n = PV/RT = (125000 × 0.000785)/(8.314 × 400) = 0.03 mol

a. Steam temperature in K

To calculate this, we use the constant pressure process;

q = nΔH

Where q is 83.8J according to the question

Thus;

83.8 = 0.03 × [34980 + 35.5T_{1} - (34980 + 35.5T_{o})]

83.8 = (0.03 × 35.5) (T_{1} - 400K)

83.8 = 1.065 (T_{1}  - 400)

78.69 = (T_{1}  - 400)

T_{1} = 400 + 78.69

T_{1}  = 478.69 K

b. Final cylinder volume

To calculate this, we make use of the Charles' law(Temperature and pressure are directly proportional)

V_{1}/T_{1} = V_{o}/T_{o}

V_{1}  =  V_{o}T_{1}/T_{o}

V_{1}   = (785 × 478.69)/400

V_{1}   = 939.43 cm^{3}

c. Work done by the system

Mathematically, the work done by the system is calculated as follows;

w = P(V_{1}- V_{o}) = 125 KPa ( 939.43 - 785) = 19.30 J

d. Change in internal energy of the steam in J

ΔU = q - w = 83.8 - 19.3 = 64.5J
