Answer:
An endothermic reaction
Explanation:
A positive sign indicates that energy is absorbed. Hence it is an endothermic reaction.
A reversible reaction is indicated by a double arrow on the chemical equation.
A spontaneous is indicated by negative Gibbs Free Energy (G) value.
An exothermic reaction is indicated by a negative enthalpy change
Given data:
Hydrogen (H) = 3.730 % by mass
Carbon (C) = 44.44%
Nitrogen (N) = 51.83 %
This means that if the sample weighs 100 g then:
Mass of H = 3.730 g
Mass of C = 44.44 g
Mass of N = 51.83 g
Now, calculate the # moles of each element:
# moles of H = 3.730 g/ 1 g.mole-1 = 3.730 moles
# moles of C = 44.44/12 = 3.703 moles
# moles of N = 51.83/14 = 3.702 moles
Divide by the lowest # moles:
H = 3.730/3.702 = 1
C = 3.703/3.702 = 1
N = 3.702/3.702 = 1
Empirical Formula = HCN
Answer: Geothermal resources are reservoirs of hot water that exist at varying temperatures and depths below the Earth's surface. Mile-or-more-deep wells can be drilled into underground reservoirs to tap steam and very hot water that can be brought to the surface for use in a variety of applications, including electricity generation, direct use, and heating and cooling. In the United States, most geothermal reservoirs are located in the western states.
Renewable—Through proper reservoir management, the rate of energy extraction can be balanced with a reservoir's natural heat recharge rate.
Baseload—Geothermal power plants produce electricity consistently, running 24 hours per day / 7 days per week, regardless of weather conditions.
Domestic—U.S. geothermal resources can be harnessed for power production without importing fuel.
