Though the ratio of any two atom's masses was the same on either scale, it was horribly confusing, so in 1961, a compromise was reached. Instead of using either Hydrogen, or Oxygen as the standard, the isotope of Carbon<span> with 6 </span>protons<span> and 6 neutrons in its nucleus (</span>Carbon-12<span>) was given a mass of exactly 12.</span>
Answer : The amount of heat released, 45.89 KJ
Solution :
Process involved in the calculation of heat released :

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released.
where,
Q = amount of heat released = ?
m = mass of water = 27 g
= specific heat of liquid water = 4.184 J/gk
= specific heat of solid water = 2.093 J/gk
= enthalpy change for fusion = 40.7 KJ/mole = 40700 J/mole
conversion :
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get
(1 KJ = 1000 J)
Therefore, the amount of heat released, 45.89 KJ
No it’s a decomposition reaction
Explanation:
Hint- look where the arrow is
If there is 1 product with an arrow next to it, then it is a decomposition reaction
This shows a product decomposing (breaking down) into 2 elements, which is a decomposition reaction
Answer:
Decrease the volume to increase pressure and to increase concentration
Explanation:
A gaseous reaction is affected by the volume of the reactants. To increase the rate of the forward reaction, we need to ensure that the volume of the reactants is manipulated in such a way that the forward reaction is favored.
Thus, when the volume of reactants is decreased, the pressure increases.This increase in pressure has the same effect as increase in concentration. Hence, the rate of forward reaction increases.
