Which best describes nuclear fusion? a nucleus spontaneously splits and absorbs energy. two nuclei spontaneously combine and absorb energy. a nucleus collides with a neutron and splits, releasing energy. nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.

The zinc within a copper-plated penny dissolves in hydrochloric acid if the copper coating is filed down in several spots (so that the hydrochloric acid can reach the zinc). the reaction between the acid and the zinc 2h+(aq)+zn(s)→h2(g)+zn2+(aq) . when the zinc in a certain penny dissolves, the total volume of gas collected over water at 25 °c is 0.947 l at a total pressure of 743 mmhg . (vapor pressure of water is 23.78 mmhg at 25 °c .) what mass of hydrogen gas is collected? answer in appropriate significant figures
