The correct option is this: IT HAS A CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE.
The structure of corn starch make it possible for it to be used as a thickener. When corn starch is dissolved in hot water or any hot substance, it thickens as it cools down because of its structure.<span />

when a solution of sodium chloride is added to a solution of copper(ii) nitrate, no precipitate is observed. Write the molexular
zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

1.

Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl(aq) --> CuCl2(aq) + 2NaNO3(aq)

2.

Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaOH(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

A light blue precipitate of Cu(OH)2 is formed and NaNO3 in solution.

3.

Cu(NO3)2(aq) --> Cu2+(aq) + 2NO3^-2(aq)

2NaOH(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(aq)

2Na+(aq) + 2NO3^-2(aq) --> 2NaNO3(aq)

4.

The reaction in both Questions 1 and 2 is called Double displacement reaction. A double-replacement reaction exchanges the cations and/or or the anions of two ionic compounds. A precipitation reaction is a double-replacement reaction in which one product is a solid precipitate (precipitated) while the other in solution.

Since the cation and anions in Qustion 1 were exchanged, the same was done for Question 2, hence the identity of the precipitate in Question 2 was got.

A chemical reaction takes place in which energy is released. Arrange the reaction’s characteristics in order from start to finis
Aliun [14]
Endothermic reactions, on the other hand, absorb heat and/or light from their surroundings. For example, decomposition reactions are usually endothermic. In endothermic reactions, the products have more enthalpy than the reactants. Thus, an endothermic reaction is said to have a positive<span> enthalpy of reaction. This means that the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is more than the energy released when new bonds form in the products; in other words, the reaction requires energy to proceed</span>

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

84672 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 72 m

Combined mass (m) = 120 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

We can obtain the energy by using the following formula:

E = mgh

Where

E => is the energy.

g => is the acceleration due to gravity

m => is the mass.

h => is the height.

E = 120 × 9.8 × 72

E = 84672 J

Thus, the energy is 84672 J
