Answer:

Exothermic

Explanation:

The energy is the ability to perform a job or to produce heat, and chemical reactions involve a rearrangement of atoms between substances with rupture or formation of chemical bonds.

Endothermic reactions are those that absorb energy in the form of heat.

On the other hand, an exothermic reaction is a way in which energy is released from the system into the environment.

Enthalpy (ΔH) represents the exchange of energy between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. An endothermic reaction will always have a enthalpy variation (ΔH) greater than zero (ΔH> 0). An exothermic reaction will always have a enthalpy variation (ΔH) less than zero (ΔH< 0).

So in this case, the reaction is exothermic.

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 28.2 mL of a 0.355 M H2SO4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-mL sample of the
Verdich [7]

Answer:

[NaOH} = 0.4 M

Explanation:

In a reaction of neutralization, we determine the equivalence point of the titration. In this case, we have a strong base and a strong acid.

(H₂SO₄, is considered strong, but the first deprotonation is weak)

2NaOH  +  H₂SO₄  →  Na₂SO₄  + 2H₂O

As we have 2 protons in the acid, we need 2 OH⁻ from the base to form 2 molecules of water.

In the equivalence point we know mmoles of base = mmoles of acid

Let's finish the excersise with the formula

25 mL . M NaOH = 28.2 mL  .  0.355M

M NaOH = (28.2 mL  .  0.355M) / 25 mL → 0.400

How many liters of a 0.30M solution are needed to give 2.7 moles of solute? Your answer:
OverLord2011 [107]
You HAVE TO know that molarity (M) tells you the number of moles of a solute per Liters of solution.
M=mol/L
0.3M = 2.7 mol/ Volume
Volume = 2.7 mol/3.0 L
Volume = 0.9 L

How to balance <br> Mg + O2 &gt; MgO
katovenus [111]
<span>Mg + O2 > MgO. In reactant side, 2 O atoms and 1 Mg are present. In product side, 1 Mg and O atoms are present. Put 2 in product side to balance O atoms and 2 at Mg in reactant side to balance Mg atoms. Therefore the balanced equation becomes, 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO. Hope it helps.</span>

I need help solving this!

Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, CH_{4}.

Explanation:

Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{146.6 g}{16.04 g/mol}\\= 9.14 mol

The given reaction equation is as follows.

C + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{4}

This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.

Moles of H_{2} = \frac{9.14}{2}\\= 4.57 mol

Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, CH_{4}.
