One of the fusion reactions that goes on in massivestars is silicon burning, 28Si 28Si S 56Ni . Thisreaction is how fusion reactions eventually reach themost stable iron/nickel region. It is also a precursorto the end of a stars life and may lead to a supernova,if the stars mass is suffi cient. (a) Calculate the ignitiontemperature required for this reaction. (b) Howmuch energy is expended in this reaction?
