Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

The AE of a system that releases 12.4 J of heat and does 4.2 J of work on its surroundings It is_______ jA. 16.6 B. 12.4 C. 4.2

andre [41]

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

Given that

The energy released by the system is 12.4J

Work done on the surrounding is 4.2J

Follow the steps below to find the change in energy

In the given data, energy is said to be released to the surroundings

Recall, that exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings. Hence, change in enthalpy is negative

Step 1; Write the formula for calculating change in energy

$\Delta E\text{ }=\text{ q }+\text{ w}$

Since heat is released to the surrounding, then q = -12J

Recall, that work done by the system on the surroundings is always negative

Hence, w = -4.2J

Step 2; Substitute the given data into the formula in step 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{ }\Delta E\text{ = q + w} \\ \text{ }\Delta E\text{ }=\text{ -12.4 }+\text{ \lparen-4.2\rparen} \\ \text{ }\Delta E\text{ = -12.4 - 4.2} \\ \text{ }\Delta E\text{ }=\text{ -16.6J} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the change i

What is a synthesis reaction? a reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine into one product

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A synthesis reaction is <em>a reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine into one product.</em>

Explanation:

A reaction that occurs when two or more reactants combine into one product is called a synthesis reaction.

A reaction that occurs when one element within a compound is exchanged with another element is called a single replacement reaction.

A reaction that occurs when a substance combines with molecular oxygen, releasing light and energy is called combustion.

A reaction that occurs when a single substance breaks apart and forms two or more new substances is called decomposition.
