The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction. 

<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>

SnO2 + 2 H2 ——&gt; Sn + 2 H2O
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

0.15g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of water = 1.2 x 10²¹ molecules

Unknown:

Mass of SnO₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to work from the known to the unknown specie;

             SnO₂   +    2H₂    →   Sn  +   2H₂O

Ensure that the equation given is balanced;

       

Now,

          the known species is water;

                  6.02 x 10²³ molecules of water  = 1 mole

                   1.2 x 10²¹ molecules of water  = \frac{1.2 x 10^{21} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }    = 0.2 x 10⁻²moles

Number of moles of water  = 0.002moles

           From the balanced chemical equation:

         

             2 mole of water is produced from 1 mole of    SnO₂  

           0.002 moles of water will be produced from \frac{0.002}{2}  = 0.001moles

To find the mass;

           Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of  SnO₂ = 118.7 + 2(16) = 150.7g/mol

        Mass  =  0.001 x 150.7 = 0.15g

Cylinder of air at 1.5 atm of pressure is kept at room temperature while a piston compresses the air from 40 l down to 10 ml. wh
djyliett [7]

The new pressure, P₂ is 6000 atm.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Given,

P₁ = 1.5 atm

V₁ = 40 L = 40,000 mL

V₂ = 10 mL

To calculate,

P₂ =?

Boyle's law is applied here.

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, a gas's volume changes inversely with applied pressure.

                                        PV = constant

Therefore,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Put the above values in the equation,

1.5 × 40,000 = P₂ × 10

P₂  = 1.5 × 4000

P₂  = 6000 atm

Therefore, the new pressure, P₂ is 6000 atm.

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
Nookie1986 [14]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)

What does AS&gt; O mean?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

ΔS> 0 means Letter A

Explanation:

Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system (ΔS > 0) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, we may reach a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity. In thermodynamic models, the system and surroundings comprise everything, that is, the universe, and so the following is true:

\displaystyle \Delta {S}_{\text{univ}}=\Delta {S}_{\text{sys}}+\Delta {S}_{\text{surr}}
