The nuclear fusion reaction is the source of energy in a star. In nuclear fusion reactions, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom with the release of a lot of energy. The nuclear fusion reaction takes place in the core of the star where two hydrogen atoms fuse to become one helium atom.

²₁H + ³₁H --> ⁴₂He + ¹₀n + 17.59 MeV

In the fusion reaction above deuterium fuses with tritium to form helium and releases ~18 mega electron volt of energy.

The density of gas particles in a section of Earth’s atmosphere decreases. Which of the following is the most likely explanation
Bad White [126]
<span>This is due to the fact that the air pressure in that certain section of Earth’s atmosphere decreased. As density of gas particles decreases as air pressure decreases. Therefore, density of gas particles and air pressure have a direct relationship. An increase in air pressure would then effect to an increase in gas particles. </span>

A 40.0 mL sample of 0.18 M HCI is titrated with 0.36 M CoHsNH2. Dctermine the pH at these points: At the beginning (before base
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

at the beginning:

pH = 0.745

Explanation:

HCl is a strong acid, so:

  • HCl + H2O  → H3O+  +  Cl-

       0.18 M             0.18        0.18.....equilibrium

before base is added:

∴ [ H3O+ ] ≅ <em>C </em>HCl = 0.18 M

⇒ pH = - Log [ H3O+ ] = - Log ( 0.18 )

⇒ pH = 0.745
