There are 4 things that are evidence of a chemical change.
1)Change in color
2)Change in shape (gas being let out)
3)Change in temperature
4)Change in smell
Burning wood is a chemical change because it has a change in color, and shape.
Exothermic reaction is where there is release of energy during a reaction
The enthalpy of exothermic reaction is negative
The relation between energy of products, reactants and enthalpy of reaction is
Enthalpy of reaction = sum of enthalpy of formation of products - sum of enthalpy of formation of reactants
.
As enthalpy of reaction is negative, it means the enthalpy of products is less than the enthalpy of reactants so answer is
:
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.
Answer:
A rule of thumb is that 1.5 lbs. of baking soda per 10,000 gallons of water will raise alkalinity by about 10 ppm. If your pool's pH is tested below 7.2, add 3-4 pounds of baking soda. If you're new to adding pool chemicals, start by adding only one-half or three-fourths of the recommended amount.
Answer:
- <u><em>It is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants.</em></u> (the second statement)
Explanation:
ΔHf is the change of enthalpy during the reaction, which is equal to the sum of enthaply changes of the products less the sum of the enthalpy changes of the reactants.
- ΔHf = ∑ (ΔH products) - ∑ (ΔH reactants)
Also, ΔHrxn, per definition, is the potential chemical energy stored in the bonds of the products less the chemical potential energy stored in the bonds of the reactants.
Then, when the potential chemical energy stored in the bonds of the products is greater than the chemical potential energy stored in the bonds of the reactants ΔHrxn is positive.
Hence, you conclude that ΔHf is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants (second statement from the choices).
Some brief comments about the other statements:
- The standard enthalpy of formation, ΔHf, is zero for an element in its standard state, not for a compound.
- For a compound the enthalpy of formation at 25ºC and 1 atm (the standard state) may be positive or negative.
- Also, note that the standard state for any element is not liquid: some are solids, some are gases, and some are liquids at 25ºC and 1 atm.
