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

Chemistry

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.

The vapor pressure of liquid pentane, C5H12, is 40.0 mm Hg at 244 K. A sample of C5H12 is placed in a closed, evacuated containe
Rudik [331]

Answer:

b. The pressure in the container will be 100mm Hg.

d. Some of vapor initially present will condense.

Explanation:

The vapor pressure of liquid Pantene rises when there is container where evacuation of water molecules is restricted. The pressure inside the container rises to 100 mm Hg and then liquid molecules start condensing. These molecule form vapors.

What is the mass of 0.31 1 mol of the element<br> potassium (K)?<br> Answer in units of g
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

0.31 mol K x 39.1 grams K/ 1 mol k = 12.1 g

Explanation:

molar mass of K: 39.1

In order to find the mass in 0.31 mol of K, you must covert moles to grams. In one mole of Potassium there is 39.1 grams.

Calculate the Molarity (M, moles solute / Liter of solution) of a solution that is made by dissolving 3.456 mmoles of Barium per
yan [13]
Since Molarity is moles per Liter, you will first need to convert the mL into L, which makes it 0.4321L. Next divide: moles on top, Liters on the bottom.
3.456 moles / .4321L = 7.998 M
