Answer: c. condensation of ethanol vapor

Explanation: An endothermic reaction is a type of of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding. The temperature of the surrounding decreases.

An Exothermic reaction is a type of of chemical reaction in which energy is released into the surrounding. The temperature of the surrounding increases.

a.boiling of water: This involves conversion of liquid to gas and thus require energy and is endothermic.

b.melting of copper: This involves conversion of solid to liquid and thus require energy and is endothermic.

c. condensation of ethanol vapor: This involves conversion of vapor to liquid and thus release energy and is exothermic.

d.sublimation of iodine: This involves conversion of solid to gas and thus require energy and is endothermic.

The exothermic process is a process or reaction that involves a release of energy from the system to its surroundings in various forms usually through heat, light, electricity or sound. In the four given choices, when melting a copper, you try to immerse the metal in heaping coals of fire. The metal will absorb the thermal energy coming from the coal, thus, once you retrieve the metal back, light will be emitted from it as well as heat.

Therefore, the answer is B. MELTING OF COPPER

What is meant when one says that acetic acid is a stronger acid than benzoic acid?

kozerog [31]

Its the other way around actually. Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because the electron-donating inductive effect (+I) by the alkyl group on acetic acid destabilise the conjugate base of acetic acid.

hope this helps :)

A sample of 35.1 g of methane gas has a volume of 5.20 l at a pressure of 2.70 atm. calculate the temperature of the gas.

melisa1 [442]

We can use the ideal gas equation to determine the temperature with the given conditions of mass of the gas, volume, and pressure. The equation is expressed
PV=nRT where n is the number of moles equal to mass / molar mass of gas. Substituting the given conditions with R = 0.0521 L atm/mol K we can find the temperature

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms

ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
