What is the connection between diamonds and stardust?
Ede4ka [16]

According to an article dated back in February 8, 1992 which is entitled, “Science: Stardust is made of diamonds” on a website called newscientist (https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg13318073-000-science-stardust-is-made-of-diamonds/), American astronomers believed that diamonds are made in supernova explosions. It was said that the diamonds were the foundation of uncommon combinations of isotopes found in some meteorites. Donald Clayton of Clemson University in South Carolina suggested that the weightiest isotopes were more common in meteorites for the reason that the rare gases shaped in the neutron-rich outcome of a supernova explosion. Clayton also said, “the observed mixture of isotopes could have been produced only during the collapse of a massive star to form a neutron star”. This happens in a Type II explosion, for example the Supernova 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud. And rare gases like xenon become stuck in both weighty and light isotopes after the ejected gas from such a supernova cools down enough to create dust. The existence of the diamonds with these unusual gases in meteorites infers an alike source. Some of the carbon in the supernova fragments produces ordinary graphite dust, whereas some produces diamond dust. Considerable amount of stardust may be made of diamonds, if Clayton was not mistaken.

A sample of gas with an initial volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 784 torr and a temperature of 295 K is compressed to a volume
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of gas (V) = 12.5 L

Pressure (P) = 784 torr

Temperature (T) = 295 K

Final volume (V1) = 2.04 L

Final temperature (T1) = 310 K

Find:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = ?

Computation:

According to combine gas law method:

\frac{PV}{T} =\frac{P1V1}{T1} \\\\\frac{(784)(12.5)}{295} =\frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\33.22 = \frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\P1=5,048.18877

⇒ Final pressure (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr / 760

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm
