6 0

The taste of Acid is Sour, that of Base is Bitter and salt is salty. So, Pickle and Lemons give sour taste due to presence of Acids. The sour taste of Lemon is due to presence of Citric Acid in it. While the sour taste of Pickle is due to presence of Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid Solution). Vinegar is mainly used to prevent the Pickle from Bacterial Attack.

Estimate the enthalpy change for the combustion of one mole of acetylene, C2H2, to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. BE(C?H)

Answer:

ΔH rxn = -1010 kJ/molC₂H₂

Explanation:

To obtain the enthalpy change for a reaction from bond energies what we do is to make an inventory of the bonds broken and formed for the balanced chemical reaction:

C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂ + H₂O

Bond Broken Bonds Formed

2 C-H + 1 C≡C + 5/2 O=O 4C=O + 2 H-O

Enthalpy bonds broken:

2 mol (456 kJ/mol)+ 1 mol (962 kJ/mol) + 5/2 mol (499 kJ/mol) = 3121.5 kJ

Enthalpy bond formed:

4 mol (802 kJ/mol) + 2 mol (462 kJ/mol) = 4132.0 kJ

ΔH rxn = H broken - H formed = 3121.5 kJ - 4132.0 kJ = - 1010 kJ (per mol C₂H₂ )

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal. T

SVEN [57.7K]

The energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than 1 million times greater than the energy released from 3 grams of coal is True.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear Fission is the process in which splitting of a nucleus takes place that releases free neutrons and lighter nuclei. The fission of heavy elements like "Uranium is highly exothermic" and releases "200 million eV" compared to the energy that is released by burning coal which gives a few eV.

In the given example, it is obvious that the energy released from 1 gram of uranium is more than that of the energy released from 3 grams of coal because the amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only $\frac{1}{10}^{th}$ part of the original nuclei is converted to energy.

What happens when the atoms of a substance are regrouped?

galina1969 [7]

The one that happens when the atoms of a substance are regrouped is : a new substance is formed.
After atoms being regrouped the molecules of the original substance will be different and the substance will have different properties from those of the reactans
