Carbon fusion requires a temperature of 500 million K and a density of 3 million g/cc. It follows three different processes:

  • 12C + 12C --> 20Ne + 4He (4.62 MeV)
  • 12C + 12C --> 23Na + p (2.24 MeV)
  • 12C + 12C --> 23Mg + n (-2.62 MeV)

Is carbon dioxide a result of combustion?

Carbon dioxide is formed by the complete combustion of carbon itself or organic compounds.


What type of star would helium be converted to carbon as the final stage of fusion?

Helium is converted into carbon during the final stage of fusion in a star called a red giant. This process occurs when helium fusion in the core of the star gives rise to carbon as the result of nuclear reactions.


What is the by-product of nuclear fusion?

The main by-product of nuclear fusion is helium, which is formed when hydrogen atoms combine under high temperatures and pressures. Additionally, energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, is also released during the fusion process.


What can cause a white dwarf to reignite?

The most likely way to reignite fusion in a white dwarf is for gas from a close binary companion to be pulled to it by gravity. As the gas collects the white dwarf heats up and may either ignite fusion in the hydrogen or in the carbon of the white dwarf itself.


How is oxygen produce?

Oxygen is produced as a result of various reactions of nuclear fusion inside the stars. Most simple one is the fusion of carbon and helium atoms.Oxygen is created in the cores of stars, where it is the result of the fusion of lighter elements.On Earth, the free oxygen molecules in the atmosphere is released by plants as a byproduct from the process of photosynthesis.


Atomic bombs are the result of what nuclear reaction?

What will the white dwarf that remains when our sun dies will be mostly made of?

When our Sun dies, it will shed its outer layers, leaving behind a white dwarf primarily composed of carbon and oxygen. This is a result of the fusion processes that occurred during its lifetime, where hydrogen was converted into helium, and later, helium into carbon and oxygen in its core. The white dwarf will no longer undergo fusion and will gradually cool down over time.

What is the result of plasmogamy?

Plasmogamy is the fusion of two or more cells or protoplasts without fusion of the nuclei, as occurs in higher terrestrial fungi.
