1 answer:
Answer:
A. Ca(OH)2 ----> CaO + H2O; ∆H = +109KJ
B. Check attached document below for the enthalpy diagram
Explanation:
A thermochemical equation is a balanced chemical equation in which enthalpy change is variable. It tells about the nature of the reaction.
Enthalpy change is the difference between the heat content of the products and reactants in a thermochemical equation.
∆H is negative for an exothermic reaction (a reaction where heat is given out), while it is positive for an endothermic reaction ( a reaction in which heat is added).
The activation energy, Ea, is the minimum amount of energy reactant particles must possess in order for a reaction to proceed towards product formation.
