It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO. It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.

If we're talking about endothermic and exothermic reactions, then it is an exothermic reaction, since heat is being released.

In a synthesis reaction, one reactant contains 346 J of chemical energy, and one reactant contains 153 J of chemical energy. The
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

64J of energy must have been released.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

One reactant contains 346 J of chemical energy, the other reactant contains 153 J of chemical energy.

The product contains 435 J of chemical energy.

Step 2:

Since the energy is conserved

Sum of energy of Reactants = Energy of Products

Sum of energy of Reactants = 346 J + 153 J = 499 J

The energy of the product = 435 J

435 < 499

This means energy must have been lost as heat.

Step 3: Calculate heat released

499 J - 435 J = 64 J

64J of energy must have been released.

The reaction of glucose, c6h12o6, with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water. what is the sum of the coefficients in the bala
Misha Larkins [42]

The balanced equation for the given reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

So in the balanced equation the coefficients before glucose, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide are 1, 6, 6 and 6 respectively.

Therefore, the sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation

= 1 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 19

The correct answer is 19.

Phosphorous trichloride and phosphorous pentachloride equilibrate in the presence of molecular chlorine according to the reactio
umka21 [38]

Answer : The value of K_p at this temperature is 66.7

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of PCl_3 at equilibrium = 0.348 atm

Pressure of Cl_2 at equilibrium = 0.441 atm

Pressure of PCl_5 at equilibrium = 10.24 atm

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{PCl_5})}{(p_{PCl_3})(p_{Cl_2})}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

K_p=\frac{(10.24)}{(0.348)(0.441)}

K_p=66.7

Therefore, the value of K_p at this temperature is 66.7

The heat of fusion AH, of ethyl acetate (C4H802) is 10.5 kinol. Calculate the change in entropy as when 398. g of ethy, acetate
Hitman42 [59]

<u>Answer:</u> The entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of ethyl acetate = 398 g

Molar mass of ethyl acetate = 88.11 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of ethyl acetate}=\frac{398g}{88.11g/mol}=4.52mol

To calculate the entropy change for different phase at same temperature, we use the equation:

\Delta S=n\times \frac{\Delta H_{fusion}}{T}

where,  

\Delta S = Entropy change  = ?

n = moles of ethyl acetate = 4.52 moles

\Delta H_{fusion} = enthalpy of fusion = 10.5 kJ/mol = 10500 J/mol   (Conversion factor:  1 kJ = 1000 J)

T = temperature of the system = 84.0^oC=[84+273]K=357K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta S=\frac{4.52mol\times 10500J/mol}{357K}\\\\\Delta S=132.9J/K

Hence, the entropy change of the ethyl acetate is 133. J/K

A nuclear power plant operates at 40.0% efficiency with a continuous production of 1042 MW of usable power in 1.00 year and cons
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235

Explanation:

We know that the formula for Power = Work done (w)/Time (t)

We need to get the joules from power , since Joules is the SI unit of work.

From the formula P = W/t

W = Power (P) * Time (t)

The SI unit for Time is seconds, hence we change 1 year in seconds

1yr * 365 days/yr * 24hrs/day * 60mins/hr * 60 secs/min = 31536000 secs

It was stated in the question that the plant operates at an efficiency of 40%,

Thus to get the true power we divide the power provided in the question by 0.4 or 40%

= X(0.4) = 1042MW

True Power X = 1042/0.4 = 2605MW

Thus true power = 2605 * 10^6 Watts

Now we have the time in seconds and true power in Watts, we then find the work done.

From our above formula P = W/t

W = P*t = (2605* 10^6) (31536000) =

Finally, we can solve for our energy (work):

P = W / T        PT = W = (2880x10^6) (31536000) = 8.22 x 10^16 joules

We then calculate the amount of energy released by only 1 single uranium-235 atom.

= 8.22 x 10^16 joules / 1.07x10^6 g U-235 (235 g / 1 mol)(1 mol/6.0210^23 atoms)

= 3.00 x 10^-11 joules / atom of U-235
