Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:
Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)
so the amount of solid magnesium decrease by addition of strong acid to it.
Answer:
The answer is: (a) positive; (b) negative.
Explanation:
The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is the amount of energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction carried out at constant pressure.
a) In an endothermic chemical reaction, heat energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding. Therefore, the sign of enthalpy change for an endothermic process is positive, ΔH= positive.
b) In an exothermic chemical reaction, heat energy is released by the system into the surrounding. Therefore, the sign of enthalpy change for an exothermic process is negative, ΔH= negative.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
I believe the answer is D because atoms are always seeking to fill up their outer electron shell/valence shell and want to gain a full octet.
