A star has 100% helium composition. It starts to convert three 4He into one 12C via triple alpha process as 4He+4He+4He→12C+Q. The mass of the star is 2.0×1032 kg and it generates energy at the rate of 5.808×1030 W. The rate of converting these 4He to 12C is n×1042 s−1, where n is _________ [ Take, mass of 4He=4.0026u, mass of 12C=12u ]
