If mass of an empty 9.4 mL pycnometer is 10.3 and the mass of the same pycnometer with an unknown liquid is 20.1. Determine the density of the unknown liquid to the correct number of significant figures in g/mL

1.04 g/mL

Explanation:

Applying,

D = (m-m')/V Equation 1

Where D = Density of the unknown liquid, m = mass of the pycnometer when filled with unkwon liquid, m' = mass of the empty pycnometer, V = volume of the empty pycnometer

From the question,

Assuming the mass are in grams

Given: m = 20.1 g, m' = 10.3 g, V = 9.4 mL

Substitute these values into equation 1

D = (20.1-10.3)/9.4

D = 9.8/9.4

D = 1.04 g/mL

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.
