Answer:

A. It is exothermic

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen present in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water as well release  heat and light energy.Combustion is an exothermic process.

An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy required to form new bonds in the products in an exothermic reaction.

From the given options;

A. It is exothermic is determinable since the reaction is a combustion reaction

B. The bond making energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather it is composed of various substances.

C. It is endothermic. is wrong because combustion of wood is exothermic.

D. The bond breaking energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather is composed of many substances.

Determine the volume of atmospheric air (at 14 lb/in.^2) needed to fill your bike tires (assuming it holds 500 mL of air) to the

Boyle Law says “the pressure of fixed amount of ideal gas which is at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its volume".<span>

P = 1/V

Hence, the needed volume of atmospheric air = 2500 mL

<span>Here, we made two </span>assumptions. They are,
1. The atmospheric air acts as ideal gas.
2. Temperature is a constant.

Explain the principle upon which separation is achieved in a distillation column.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The fundamental principle involves the formation of equilibrium and separation into distillate and bottoms governed by the equilibrium composition curve , number of stages and the purity with which the distillate is required.

Explanation:

Distillation is a type of the separation process by physical means of a mixture on basis of its difference in boiling point or vapor pressure .  

Where we can just heat the mixture and separate out the components i.e the component with lower boiling point will form vapor easily and can be later condensed whereas the component with higher boiling point will remain as residue.

In case of a distillation column the same principle is applied at different stages to separate multiple components .The stages are known as trays or plates . In general , there is a certain liquid on each of the plate, and the arrangements are made for the ascending vapors to pass through the liquid and make contact with it . The fundamental principle involves the formation of equilibrium and separation into distillate and bottoms governed by the equilibrium composition curve , number of stages and the purity with which the distillate is required.

What is the freezing point (in degrees Celcius) of 4.14 kg of water if it contains 235.1 g of butanol, C 4 H 9 O H
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molal freezing point depression constant of butanol Kf = 8.37⁰C /m

ΔTf = Kf x m , m is no of moles of solute per kg of solvent .

mol weight of butanol = 70 g

235.1 g of butanol = 235.1 / 70 = 3.3585 moles

3.3585 moles of butanol dissolved in 4.14 kg of water .

ΔTf = 8.37 x 3.3585 / 4.14

= 6.79⁰C

Depression in freezing point = 6.79

freezing point of solution = - 6.79⁰C .
