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>

A river carries pieces of granite from a mountain to the sea.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The Granite is eroded, weathered, and is being transported away. The Granite will then be deposited into a lake or a sea. This could also go to help form a new sedimentary rock.

A nuclear fission reaction has mass difference between the products and the reactants of 0.0284 amu. Calculate the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

C) 4.24 x 10^{-12}

Explanation:

E = Δmc^{2}

Δm = 0.0284 x 1.66 x 10^{-27} kg = 4.714x10^{-29}kg

putting value in above equation

E = 4.714x10^{-29}kg x (3x10^{8})^{2} = 4.24 x 10^{-12}

If you burn 55.6 g of hydrogen and produce 497 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
tester [92]

Answer:

441.28 g Oxygen

Explanation:

  • The combustion of hydrogen gives water as the product.
  • The equation for the reaction is;

2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 55.6 g

Number of moles of hydrogen

Moles = Mass/Molar mass

          = 55.6 g ÷ 2.016 g/mol

          = 27.8 moles

The mole ratio of Hydrogen to Oxygen is 2:1

Therefore;

Number of moles of oxygen = 27.5794 moles ÷ 2

                                               = 13.790 moles

Mass of oxygen gas will therefore be;

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of oxygen gas is 32 g/mol

Mass = 13.790 moles × 32 g/mol

<h3>          = 441.28 g</h3><h3>Alternatively:</h3>

Mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = Mass of water

Therefore;

Mass of oxygen = Mass of water - mass of hydrogen

                          = 497 g - 55.6 g

<h3>                           = 441.4 g </h3>
