It takes four hydrogen nuclei to create one helium nucleus in the proton-proton chain, which is the main energy source of the Sun. If a single hydrogen nucleus has a mass of 1.6726 × 10-27 kg and a single helium nucleus has a mass of 6.6447 × 10-27 kg, how much mass is converted into energy to create three helium nuclei?

HW 5/7: Find the amount of energy released in each step of the Proton-Proton chain Fusion in the Sun follows a process called the Proton-Proton chain, starting with 6 total hydrogen nuclei 1. Two hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a deuterium (2H) nucleus, expelling a positron and a neutrino. (x2) 2. The deuterium nucleus fuses with a hydrogen nucleus to form a helion (He), expelling a gamma ray. (x2) 3. Two of these helion nuclei fuse to form a Helium...
Red giants derive their energy from reactions involving helium. In a reaction where 3 helium nuclei change into 1 carbon nucleus. The mass of a helium nucleus is 6.645x10^-27 kg, and the mass of a carbon nucleus is 1.9922x10^-26 kg. calculate: (1) the mass lost in one such reaction, (2) the energy released in one such reaction, (3) the energy released when a kilogram of helium fuses to become carbon, (4) the ratio between this and the amount of energy...
A) You will investigate the PP-I chain leading to the formation of helium and energy from the fusion of 1) Demonstrate that I u of mass (1/12)mC, atom) has an equivalent rest mass of answers Qi, Q2, and Qs in MeV. Be careful with Qi-beware of the leptons! hydrogen in the cores of lower mass main sequence stars such as our Sun. 931.4940954 MeV/c (match at least the first 4 digits past decimal) Calculate the Q value for each step...
Alpha decay is nuclear decay in which a helium nucleus is emitted. If the helium nucleus has a mass of 6.646 ✕ 10-27 kg and is given 7.00 MeV of kinetic energy, what is its velocity? Answer: _________ c
10) A proton moving at 2.44x105 m/s elastically collides with a
helium nucleus that is initially at rest. Assume that all of the
motion is in one dimension. Determine the speed and direction of
motion of each body after the collision.
Note: Mass of a hydrogen nucleus is approximately 1.0 u Mass of a
helium nucleus is approximately 4.0 u
Please post both the equation and the final answer. thank

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus of the atom by observing the scattering of helium nuclei from gold nuclei. If a helium nucleus with a mass of 6.68 10-27 kg, a charge of +2e, and an initial velocity of 1.18 107 m/s is projected head-on toward a gold nucleus with a charge of +79e, how close will the helium atom come to the gold nucleus before it stops and turns around? (Assume the gold nucleus is held in place...
Problem 5. [Einstein's E = mc²] Sun is producing energy by nuclear fusion reactions converting four hydrogen nuclei to form one nucleus of He, i.e. 4H + He. However, mass of helium nucleus is smaller than that of four hydrogens and this difference is called mass defect. If mass of the hydrogen nucleus is my and mass of the helium nucleus Mhe mass defect of one nuclear reaction Am is equal to Am = 4 *my - Me (1) Using...
The proton-proton (p-p) chain reaction is presently the source of (nuclear) energy in the core of stars. This reaction releases 6.0 times 10^-14 J/kg. Consider a star with a total mass of 4.15 times 10^30 kg; the p-p chain will convert 10% of its mass (core mass) to helium. If the total power (luminosity) of the star is 8.2 times 10^20 W, how many years can it produce energy by this reaction?
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a single proton, which has a radius of about 1.1 10-15 m. The single electron in a hydrogen atom normally orbits the nucleus at a distance of 5.5 10-11 m. What is the ratio of the density of the hydrogen nucleus to the density of the complete hydrogen atom?
