Answer:

The correct answer is The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, so energy is released into the surrounding environment.

Explanation:

In exothermic reactions, there is a release of energy in the environment which comes out converted into heat. These types of reactions are the <u>product of a process of transformation of molecules called chemical reaction.</u>

The energy that an exothermic reaction uses to carry out is less than the amount of energy it releases, so as the answer says: This energy is released because the energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.

An exothermic change can be for example the processes of condensation and solidification.

Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidit

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Explanation:

Volume of NaOH = 1.7 ml = 0.0017 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.0811 M

Moles of NaOH = n

$0.0811 M=\frac{n}{0.0017 L}$

n = 0.0001378 mol

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

According to reaction, 2 mol of NaOH neutralize 1 mol of sulfuric acid.

Then 0.0001378 mol of NaOH will neutralize:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.0001378 mol=6.8935\times 10^{-5} mol$ of sulfuric acid.

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample: x

$x=\frac{6.8935\times 10^{-5}}{0.02 L}=0.0034467 mol/L$

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

The molarity of concentrated acetic acid is 17.45 M. When acetic acid is diluted in water it is commonly called vinegar with a m

Sladkaya [172]

M1 = 17.45 M

M2 = 0.83 M

V2 = 250 ml

M1. V1= M2. V2

V1 = (M2. V2)/M1 = (0.83× 250)/ 17.45= 11.89 ml

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of silicon for which a=29? Enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.G., 42he).

quester [9]

The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is $x^{a}_{m}$ . Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be $Si^{29}_{14}$

A neutral atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 would most likely form a bond with an atom having the configuration

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
