Question
Chapter 11, Problem 12P
To determine
Check whether both CNO cycle and proton-proton chain produce same amount of energy or not and state the reason.

Students have asked these similar questions
Both the CNO cycle and the proton–proton chain combine 4 H nuclei to produce 1 He nucleus. Would those two processes release the same amount of energy per He nucleus produced?
1) How massive would Earth had been if it had accreted hydrogen compounds in addition to the sme properties listed in table 7.1? (Assume the same properties of the ingredients as listed in the table)
2) Now imagine that Earth had been able to capture hydrogen and helium gas in the same proportions as listed in the table. How massive would it have been?
Where did the values for (T - 20 C) come from?

If you assume the wind is emitted a constant rate, estimate the time (in units of Gyr =Gigayears = 10° years) that it will take the entire Sun to evaporate via its solar wind emission. (Of course, the rate won't be constant throughout the lifetime of the Sun---this is just a rough estimate to understand the timescale associated with this process.) [Hint: you need to look up a number and do several unit conversions; this is a *rate* problem. Enter your answer as an integer or decimal, NOT in scientific notation.]arrow_forward
