When a piece of aluminum is placed in a 25 mL graduated cylinder that contains 10.5 mL of water, the water level rises to 13.5 mL. What is the mass of the aluminum?

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
