Answer:

Its density decreases.

Its volume increases.

Explanation:

There are two changes that happen:

Its density decreases.

Its volume increases.

When the density is less, this is why ice floats on water. Density is calculate by mass/volume. Now mass is same here as we have not added anything here, this means that volume must have changed. Hence, the volume increases that makes the ice less dense.

Density decreases that's why ice floats on water because it's less dense than water.

In the dark waters just below the photic zone, because of cellular respiration, the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide is higher relative to dissolved oxygen.
In cellular respiration living organisms use oxygen and release carbon dioxide, because there is little or no light there is no photosynthesis and oxygen is little produced.

Part a use these data to calculate the heat of hydrogenation of buta-1,3-diene to butane. c4h6(g)+2h2(g)→c4h10(g)

Reptile [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C_4H_6(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_4H_{10}(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})})]-[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_6)})+(2\times \Delta H_{(H_2)})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})}=-2877.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(C_4H_6)}=-2540.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(H_2)}=-285.8kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-2877.6))]-[(1\times (-2540.2))+(2\times (-285.8))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=234.2J$

Hence, the heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.
