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!

Magnesium metal reacts with iodine gas at high temperatures to form magnesium iodide. what mass of mgi2 can be produced from the

sergiy2304 [10]

<span>54.8 g of MgI2 can be produced. To solve this, you need to determine the molar mass of each reactant and the product. First, look up the atomic weights of iodine and magnesium Atomic weight of Iodine = 126.90447 Atomic weight of Magnesium = 24.305 Molar mass of MgI2 = 24.305 + 2 * 126.90447 = 278.11394 Now determine how many moles of Iodine and Magnesium you have moles of Iodine = 50.0 g / 126.90447 g/mol = 0.393997154 mole moles of Magnesium = 5.15 / 24.305 g/mol = 0.211890557 mole Since for every magnesium atom, you need 2 iodine atoms and since the number of moles of available iodine isn't at least 2 times the available moles of magnesium, iodine is the limiting reagent. So figure out how many moles of magnesium will be consumed by the iodine 0.393997154 mole / 2 = 0.196998577 mole. This means that you can make 0.196998577 moles of MgI2. Now simply multiply by the previously calculated molar mass of MgI2 0.196998577 mole * 278.11394 g/mole = 54.78805 g Round the result to the correct number of significant figures. 54.78805 g = 54.8 g</span>

Determine the concentration of an HBr solution if a 45.00 mL aliquot of the solution yields 0.5555 g AgBr when added to a soluti

amid [387]

Molecular weight of AgBr = 187.7
moles of Ag = $\frac{0.5555}{187.7} = 2.96 x 10^{-3}$
moles of Br = moles of Ag = 2.96 x 10⁻³ mol
concentration of HBr (Molarity) = conc. of Br (strong acid) = $\frac{2.96 x 10^{-3} }{45 x 10^{-3} } = 0.0658 mol/l$
