An astronomer is a guest speaker at your school. She states that iron is the very last product in stellar fusion. Why would she
1 answer:
Iron is the very last product in stellar fusion is that; Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.
The stability of an atom is dependent on the binding energy per nucleon of the atom.
The binding energy per nucleon of elements increases steadily until iron, we can see that from the curve very easily.
Beyond iron, we have exceeded the region of stable binding energy per nucleon of atoms. The atoms after iron in the curve are mostly unstable heavy nuclei.

Answer: The concentrations of A , B , and C at equilibrium are 0.1583 M, 0.2583 M, and 0.1417 M.
Explanation:
The reaction equation is as follows.
Initial : 0.3 0.4 0
Change: -x -x x
Equilbm: (0.3 - x) (0.4 - x) x
We know that, relation between standard free energy and equilibrium constant is as follows.
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
x = 0.1417
Hence, at equilibrium
- [A] = 0.3 - 0.1417
= 0.1583 M
- [B] = 0.4 - 0.1417
= 0.2583 M
- [C] = 0.1417 M
Answer:
K I will attempt
Explanation:
a)
b)
1 : 2 : 2 (I don't know if this is what the question wants but it is what I would answer)
c)
Hydrogen because it requires 2 moles of H2 to react with 1 mole of O2
d)
24 moles of water. Look at stoichiometric coefficient. 2:2 means 24 moles you get 24 moles
e)
Oxygen. 2 < 5/2. Remember, 1 mole of O2 requires 2 moles of H2. But 5/2 is still greater than 2
f)
First, let's find out how many moles of water we can get. Since O2 is the limiting reactant, and O2:H2O ratio is 1:2, we will get 4 moles of H2O. Then, we can multiply 4 by Avogadro's number which is to get the number of molecules. We get: 2.41 * 10^24 molecules of water.
