What will happen when a star 30 times the mass of the sun runs out of nuclear fuel?

Such a star will first have a supernova explosion, due to instability in the nucleus. Then it will most likely turn into a black hole.

What would happen to the sun when it ran out of fuel if it the mass was as 10 times as it does?
It would supernova.
How nuclear technologies produce enermouse amount of energy?
Nuclear fission produces energy 2.5 million times that of carbon of same mass. Nuclear fusion produces energy 400 times that of nuclear fission of same mass.
What will happen to the star Proycon when it runs out of fuel?
That would be "Procyon". Since its mass is only about 1.5 times the mass of our Sun, I would expect it to become a white dwarf.
A particle in the nucleus of an atom it has a positive electrical charge and the times of the election?
A proton is a nuclear particle; its mass is 1836 times the mass of an electron.
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
Do fossil fuels have a higher or lower energy content than a similar mass of nuclear fuel?
Total energy as expressed in Einsteins equation E=mc2 reveals that they are identical because the masses are identical and c is a constant. With present technology you can extract more energy from a given mass of nuclear fuels (in a nuclear reactor) than the same mass of fossil fuel in a thermoelectric generating plant.
What is the mass of a alpha particle given a nuclear equation?
Four times of the hydrogen atom.
If we use up all the fossil fuel what's going to happen to the land mass where the fuel existed?
If we use all the resources then the land mass where the reources existed will become fuel-resource deficient or empty fuel resources.
Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.
When are changes of energy to mass and mass to energy observable?
-- In the cores of stars, where nuclear fusion reactions are taking place. -- Inside the casing of a nuclear weapon at the moment of detonation. -- In the fuel rods in the core of a nuclear power generating station. -- At the point of collision in the experimental target area in a particle accelerator.
What is turned into energy when nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the phenomenon of binding two different atoms to produce a new atom, with a big release of energy.
What makes nuclear bombs so powerful?
The energy is obtained from the Strong Nuclear Force, which binds the atomic nucleus together, not the Electromagnetic Force, which binds electrons to the atom. The Strong force is about 1000 times stronger than the Electromagnetic force, therefore can provide about 1000 times the energy of a chemical reaction/explosion using a similar mass of fuel.
