How much heat is absorbed by 500 g of water if it is heated from 20 °C to 100 °C ? (specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°C)

a. 300 kJ
b. 167 kJ
c. 200 kJ
d. None of the above

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.  

the objects have the same charge is correct.
