In a particular chemical reaction, the energy of the reactants is 30 kJ and the energy of the products is 5 kJ. The maximum ener

gy of the system is 40 kJ.
Sketch a potential energy diagram for this reaction. Make sure to label the energy of the reactants, the energy of the products, the activation energy, and the enthalpy change for the reaction.
What is the activation energy for this reaction?
What is the enthalpy change for this reaction?
Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain your answer in two ways: first, using the energy values, and second, by referring to the shape of the graph.
The coating on the head of a match is highly flammable. When it burns, it releases a great deal of energy. However, before the match can burn, it must gain a small amount of energy from a spark. That spark is typically produced by striking (rubbing) the match head against a rough surface. Sketch and describe a potential energy diagram that represents the striking and burning of the match. Remember to label the diagram with the energy changes that occur. Your answer must include the potential energy diagram and a written description. (Note: you do not have to use actual energy values.)

An energy of 25kJ is given out hence the reaction is exothermic.

<h3>What is a reaction?</h3>

Chemical reaction is said to occur when reactants combine leading to the formation of products. In a plot of the energy against the reaction profile, the topmost point of the graph is called the activation energy.

We know that a reaction is exothermic when reactants posses more energy than the products. Hence the enthalpy change for this reaction is;

ΔH = 5kJ - 30kJ = -25kJ thus the reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Now, the activation energy for the lighting of the match stick is high that is why a spark is required before the reaction gets underway. Heat is evolved in the process hence the reaction is exothermic. The energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products.

You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. Which is the best explanation for this?
liubo4ka [24]
Salutations!

<span>You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. Which is the best explanation for this?

The best explanation for this statement is the transmission of light in air is faster than the transmission of sound in the air. Light is faster than sound, thus you can see the thunder then you can hear the sound.

Hope I helped :D</span>

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

the signs of heat and work are; -Q and -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given by; ΔU = Q − W

where;

ΔU is the change in internal energy of a system,

Q is the net heat transfer (the sum of all heat transfer into and out of the system)

W is the net work done (the sum of all work done on or by the system).

Now, The system in this case is the tire and since the air gets warmer, heat must have left the system. Therefore Q is negative (-Q).

Since work is done by the system, W remains negative.

Thus, the signs of heat and work are; -Q and - W
