Условие
Why does helium burn much faster than hydrogen in a star?
A. The star enters a different stellar evolution phase before the helium is all used up
B. The temperature of the star is higher during the phase of helium burning
C. The fraction of helium is much less than the fraction of hydrogen during early evolutionary phases of a star
D. The energy released for each helium burning reaction is much smaller than for hydrogen
E. None of the above
Отговори
- The energy released for each helium burning reaction is much smaller than for hydrogen
Решение
D: The energy released for each helium burning reaction is much smaller than for hydrogen
Helium burning reaction releases much less energy per reaction than hydrogen burning reaction
