Answer:

+VE

Explanation:

If we look at the reaction profile pictured in the question, we can easily identify A as the enthalpy of the reaction. The enthalpy of reaction (ΔHrxn) is usually defined as the difference between the total enthalpy (heat content) of the products of a reaction and the total enthalpy (heat content) of the reactants in that reaction.

Looking at the figure, we can see that the enthalpy of products is greater than the enthalpy of reactants, hence ∆Hrxn is positive as stated in the answer above.

Explain how the presence of several oxygen atoms ina compound containing an-OH group can make the compound acidic.

Lina20 [59]

In each case, the same bond gets broken - the bond between the hydrogen and oxygen in an -OH group. Writing the rest of the molecule as "X"

The factors to consider

Two of the factors which influence the ionisation of an acid are:

the strength of the bond being broken,the stability of the ions being formed.

In these cases, you seem to be breaking the same oxygen-hydrogen bond each time, and so you might expect the strengths to be similar.

1. In general, the nucleus of a small atom is stable. Therefore, over very short distances, such as those in a small nucleus,

<h3>1. Answer;</h3>

a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently.
Therefore, an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.
Small atoms are stable; this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together.

<h3>9. Answer;</h3>

b. change into a different element altogether.

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will change into a different element altogether.

<h3> Explanation;</h3>

Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.
Alpha decay is one of the types of decays, others being beta decay and gamma decay. In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.
Therefore, Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234.
