Identify and explain exothermic and endothermic reactions in terms of energy transfer

1 answer:

5 0

Exothermic reaction is when the system releases energy to the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of negative, as the system is transferring energy towards the surrounding.

Endothermic reaction is when the system is absorbing energy from the surrounding, the energy (in the perspective of the system) will have a sign of positive, as energy is transferred to the system.

How did the uncertainty principle influence thinking about the arrangement of electrons in atoms?

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's principle "At the instant of time when the position is determined, that is, at the instant when the photon is scattered by the electron, the electron undergoes a discontinuous change in momentum. This change is the greater the smaller the wavelength of the light employed, i.e., the more exact the determination of the position. At the instant at which the position of the electron is known, its momentum therefore can be known only up to magnitudes which correspond to that discontinuous change; thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known".

Hence, this principle made scientists to realize that electrons could not be located in defined orbits which a contradictory of Bohr's model.

How many moles of oxygen are formed when 58.6 g of KNO3 decomposes according to the following reaction? 4 KNO3(s) → 2 K2O(s) + 2

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.725 mol

Explanation:

Moles are calculated as the given mass divided by the molecular mass.

i.e. ,

moles = ( mass / molecular mass )

since,

mass of KNO₃ = 58.6 g ( given )

Molecular mass of KNO₃ = 101 g / mol

Therefore,

moles of KNO₃ = 58.6 g / 101 g / mol

moles of KNO₃ = 0.58 mol

From the balanced reaction ,

4 KNO₃ (s) ---> 2K₂O (s) + 2N₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g)

By the decomposition of 4 mol of KNO₃ , 5 mol of O₂ are formed ,

hence, unitary method is used as,

1 mol of KNO₃ gives 5 / 4 mol O₂

Therefore,

0.58 mol of KNO₃ , gives , 5 / 4 * 0.58 mol of O₂

Solving,

0.58 mol of KNO₃ , gives , 0.725 mol of O₂

Therefore,

58.6g of KNO₃ gives 0.725 mol of O₂.

When circumstances are right, most materials undergo a process called thermal expansion. Which statement best describes the caus

harina [27]

Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.

Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.

The diagram shows a simple lipid.

kifflom [539]

This is not a phospholipid as it does not contain a phosphate group at the end of the chain, and is not a triglyceride as there is no glyceryl moiety. Each carbon bonded to hydrogens makes the maximum number of C-H bonds possible, therefore there are no multiple bonds between carbons and the lipid is saturated. Therefore the answer is A.
Hope this helps!
