A 1.44-g sample of an unknown pure gas occupies a volume of 0.335 L at a pressure of and a temperature of 100.0°C. The unknown gas is .

Xenon

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Convert the temperature to Kelvin

K = °C + 273.15 = 100.0°C + 273.15 = 373.2 K

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles (n)

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1.00 atm × 0.335 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 373.2 K

n = 0.0109 mol

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of the gas

M = 1.44 g / 0.0109 mol = 132 g/mol

Step 5: Identify the gas

The gas with a molar mass of about 132 g/mol is xenon.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
