∙ 11y agoNo star will EVER convert ALL of the hydrogen to helium via nuclear fusion (the process that powers the star) because when the star is less than about 50% hydrogen, the helium gets in the way of the fusion reaction and the star begins to die out. The star will begin to shrink as the star's own gravity now is more powerful than the nuclear reaction, and the star will get more dense and will heat up.
If the internal temperature and pressure gets high enough, the star will begin fusing helium into even heavier elements, becoming a red giant.
The speed of this reaction depends on the original mass of the star.

∙ 11y agoIt takes a star like the Sun around 10 billion years to convert a significant amount of its hydrogen in the core through nuclear fusion. This process is what powers the star and keeps it stable.
Hydrogen that does not convert into helium in the fusion reaction on the sun remains as hydrogen atoms. These hydrogen atoms are still present in the sun's core, where they continue to undergo fusion reactions.
It takes a star with the mass of the Sun about 10 billion years to convert all the hydrogen in its core into helium through nuclear fusion. This phase is known as the main sequence stage in a star's life cycle.
A 1.5-M star will fuse hydrogen in its core approximately 7 times longer than a 15-M star because less massive stars burn hydrogen at a slower rate due to their lower core temperatures and pressures. This means they have longer main-sequence lifetimes compared to more massive stars.
The sun has about 5 billion years worth of hydrogen left before it exhausts its supply and evolves into a red giant star.
Saturn is made up of four main layers: the inner core, the rocky mantle, the liquid metallic hydrogen layer, and the outer gaseous layer. These layers are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of other elements.

Hydrogen that does not convert into helium in the fusion reaction on the sun remains as hydrogen atoms. These hydrogen atoms are still present in the sun's core, where they continue to undergo fusion reactions.
The temperature at the Sun's core is about 15 million degrees Kelvin. This extreme heat is generated by nuclear fusion reactions that convert hydrogen into helium.
Hydrogen has one core electron. Core electrons are those in the inner energy levels of an atom and are not involved in chemical bonding.
It takes a star with the mass of the Sun about 10 billion years to convert all the hydrogen in its core into helium through nuclear fusion. This phase is known as the main sequence stage in a star's life cycle.
To calculate the number of atoms in 3.4 grams of hydrogen peroxide, you first convert the grams to moles using the molar mass of hydrogen peroxide. Then, you use Avogadro's number to convert moles to atoms. There are approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms in 1 mole of a substance.
Divide the number of minutes by 60 to convert to hours, then divide the result by 24 to convert to days, and finally divide that by 365.25 to convert to years.
The sun has a vast supply of hydrogen that fuels its nuclear fusion process. This process converts hydrogen into helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. The sun continuously converts hydrogen into helium, maintaining a balance between the energy it releases and the hydrogen it consumes.
Too many unfortunately
Yes. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion as it converts hydrogen into helium in its core. This hydrogen will run out in about 5 billion years. It will expand to many times its original size before contracting again and fusing helium. After that it will shed its outer layers and leave behind a small remnant called a white dwarf.
To find the volume of hydrogen gas produced, we first need to convert the mass of baking soda (645g) to moles. Then, using the balanced chemical equation for the reaction, we can determine the moles of hydrogen gas produced. Finally, using the ideal gas law at STP, we can convert the moles of hydrogen gas to liters.
