Cloudy skies and precipitation. Rain is normally caused by water vapor within the condensation of the low pressure system.
<span>As we know through the principle of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the energy removed from the water in order to make it freeze is absorbed by the surroundings. This is why the surroundings in which freezing is taking place are below freezing. This is more easily illustrated in the example of condensation. If you were to hold a plate over a pot of boiling water, some of the water would give its energy to the plate and condense on its surface.</span>
What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal.
You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.
Answer:
1) When 6.97 grams of sodium(s) react with excess water(l), 56.0 kJ of energy are evolved.
2) When 10.4 grams of carbon monoxide(g) react with excess water(l), 1.04 kJ of energy are absorbed.
Explanation:
1) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g).
2 Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⇒ 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) ΔH = -369 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is negative, which means that 369 kJ of energy are evolved per 2 moles of sodium. The energy evolved for 6.97 g of Na (molar mass 22.98 g/mol) is:

2) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of carbon monoxide(g) with water(l) to form carbon dioxide(g) and hydrogen(g).
CO(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂(g) ΔH = 2.80 kJ
The enthalpy of the reaction is positive, which means that 2.80 kJ of energy are absorbed per mole of carbon monoxide. The energy evolved for 10.4 g of CO (molar mass 28.01 g/mol) is:
