If an exothermic chemical reaction occurs, the surroundings become warmer. Where does this energy come from?

It comes to from the chemical reaction itself. Exothermic reaction release heat because the energy level of the products is lower than that of the reactants.  Therefore, the net enthalpy change of the reaction is negative (-), meaning heat or light (or any other form of energy) is released into the environment. An example of an exothermic reaction is the combustion of fuel.

Answer:

Explanation:

An exothermic chemical reaction is defined as reaction in which energy is released as a product into a surrounding. Increase in temperature of the surrounding is also observed.

The energy in the exothermic chemical reaction is due to formation of products which are more stable than the reactants. During the chemical reaction breaking and formation of bonds takes place which leads to formation of stable products.

These so formed products are stable at lower energy due to which excessive energy is released out as a heat into surrounding.

An endothermic chemical reaction is defined as reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding. Decrease in temperature of the surrounding is also observed.

Balance the reaction: C5H90 + 02 = C02 + H20
irinina [24]
Start by balancing the hydrogen atoms. There are 9 on the reactants side and 2 on the products side. The least common multiple of 9 and 2 is 18, so the coefficient for C5H9O should be 2 and the coefficient for H2O should be 9.

Next, balance the carbon atoms. After giving C5H9O a coefficient of 2, there are 2*5, or 10 carbon atoms on the reactants side. There is only 1 carbon on the products side. The least common multiple of 1 and 10 is 10, so the coefficient of C5H9O remains as 2 and the coefficient for CO2 becomes 10.

Lastly, balance the oxygen atoms. With C5H9O having a coefficient of 2, there are 4 oxygen atoms on the reactants side. With CO2 having a coefficient of 10 and H2O having a coefficient of 9, there are 29 oxygen atoms on the products side. Here, you balance by changing only the coefficient of O2, which currently provides 2 oxygen atoms to the reactants side. 2 of the 29 oxygen atoms are covered by C5H9O, so the O2 needs to cover for the other 27. Every mole of O2 has 2 oxygen atoms, so the coefficient should be 27/2, or 13.5. We don't want decimals in the reaction, so multiply all of the coefficients by two. This gives the balance reaction:

4C5H9O + 27O2 --> 20CO2 + 18H2O

An atom in its ground state is excited when it absorbs a single photon of light. The atom then relaxes back to the ground state
aivan3 [116]

Answer: Option (a)  is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         wavelength of red photon (\lambda_{1}) = 700 nm

         wavelength of infrared photon (\lambda_{2}) = 1750 nm

Therefore, calculate the wavelength of absorbed photon as follows.

    \frac{1}{\lambda_{abs}} = \frac{1}{\lambda_{1}} + \frac{1}{\lambda_{2}}

              = \frac{1}{700} + \frac{1}{1750}

              = \frac{2450}{1225000}

or,            \lambda_{abs} = \frac{1225000}{2450}              

                            = 500 nm

Therefore, we can conclude that the wavelength of the absorbed photon is 500 nm.
