<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy
is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper
and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It
has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend
easily into it desired form.</span>
Answer:
- <u>The energy change would be 46kJ</u>
- <u>The energy would be absorbed</u>
Explanation:
The <em>energy change </em>during a chemical reation, i.e. the reaction energy, is equal to the chemical energy stored in the<em> bonds of the products </em>less the chemical energy stored in the <em>bonds of the reactants</em>.
Hence:
- <em>Energy change</em> = 478 kJ - 432kJ = 46kJ
The change is positive, this is, the chemical energy of the products is greater than the chemical energy of the reactants.
That corresponds to the second graph, where the level of the energy of the products in the graph is higher than the level of the energy of the reactants. Therefore, the conclusion is that the reaction <em>absorbed energy</em> and it is endothermic.
The answer is A, because it’s the first one
