Question: t is believed that two carbon-12 nuclei can react in the core of a supergiant star to form sodium-23 and hydrogen-1. Calculate the energy released
t is believed that two carbon-12 nuclei can react in the core of a supergiant star to form sodium-23 and hydrogen-1. Calculate the energy released from this reaction for each mole of hydrogen formed. 12 is over 6C + 12 is over 6C 23 is over 11Na + 1 is over 1H Particle Mass (amu) C-12 12.000000 Na-23 22.989767 H-1 1.007825 (1 kg = 6.022 1026 amu; NA = 6.022 1023 mol-1; c = 2.99792458 108 m/s)
