A 110 g block of metal was heated to 100°C. When transfered to 100 g of water, the water increased temperature from 20.1°C to 35.4°C If water has a specific heat capacity of 4.18 Jg, determine the unknown metal by calculating it's specific heat. The unknown metal is ___

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.
