In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.
Answer: option D) energy was absorbed and entropy increased.
Explanation:
1) Given balanced equation:
2H₂O (l) + 571.6 kJ → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂(g).
2) Being the energy placed on the side of the reactants means that the energy is used (consumed or absorbed). This is an endothermic reaction.
So, the first part is that energy was absorbed.
3) As for the entropy, it is a measure of the disorder or radomness of the system.
Since, two molecules of liquid water were transformed into three molecules of gas, i.e. more molecules and more kinetic energy, therefore the new state has a greater degree of radomness, is more disordered, and you conclude that the entropy increased.
With that, you have shown that the right option is D) energy was absorbed and increased.
Yes, you're right the answer is 0,02 moles.
The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.
For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.
