In stars, helium can sometimes be fused into carbon and heavier elements (in their final stages of life). why didn't the same fusion processes produce carbon and heavier elements in the early universe?

Because the early universe was so hot that even tough the conditions to create heavy elements were there, they will break apart immediately after their formation because it was too hot for the heavy elements to remain stable. It was only later after the universe cold down that elements weren’t break apart and the process of forming heavy elements could begin.

an honest friend. a friend who cares about me, and wont use me. a friend that i can trust. not someone who is fake

mark this brainliest lol i need one more.

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"
