The sun produces energy by the process of nuclear fusion. it happens when lighter nuclei combine to produce a larger, heavier nucleus. In the process, energy is released. Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and pressures.

Answer:

The sun generates energy in its core in a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the sun's extremely high pressure and hot temperature cause hydrogen atoms to come apart and their nuclei (the central cores of the atoms) to fuse or combine.

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.
hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.

Using the reaction below: 2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) → C2H4(g) + 3 O2(g) ΔHrxn= +1411.1 kJ What would be the heat of reaction for this
maw [93]

Answer:  d) -705.55 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of reaction is the change of enthalpy during a chemical reaction with all substances in their standard states.

2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g) \Delta H=+1411.1kJ

Reversing the reaction, changes the sign of \Delta H

C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

\Delta H=-1411.1kJ

On multiplying the reaction by \frac{1}{2} , enthalpy gets half:

0.5C_2H_4(g)+1.5O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)\Delta H=\frac{1}{2}\times -1411.1kJ=-705.55kJ/mol

Thus the enthalpy change for the given reaction is -705.55kJ

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

For a detailed study of the empirical formula refer given link brainly.com/question/13058832.
