Answer:
Periods on the periodic table of elements
Explanation:
In the periodic table of elements, there are seven horizontal rows of elements called periods. The vertical columns of elements are called groups, or families. (See also The Periodic Table: Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids.) In each period (horizontal row), the atomic numbers increase from left to right.
<span>The correct answers are A, B, and D. The ΔHrxn is equal to the ΔHf when the ΔHf of the reactants is zero, and this can only occur when the reactants are pure elements (not compounds) in their natural phase at ambient temperature.
c) Chlorine's natural phase is gaseous, but since it is a liquid in this reaction, ΔHf ≠ 0.
e) CO is a compound, not a pure element.
f) BaCO3 is a compound, not a pure element.</span>
The correct answer is option B. i.e. E°cell > 0 = spontaneous reaction.
The spontaneous reactions always have positive voltage and the energy released in the reaction is used up to do work.
