Answer: "The reactants are higher in energy than the products"

Explanation:

The exothermic reactions are characterized by the release of heat to the surroundings. The reactants lose heat that is delivered to the surroundings which implies that the products will be lower in energy than the reactants.

The hills that you can see in a reaction energy diagram are not related with the final change of energy. The hills are an indication of the activation energy needed to start the reaction, but they do not measure the change of energy from the products to the reactants.

The enthalpy that is a state variable that identifies the content of heat. Then the change of enthalpy for the exothermic reactions is negative, meaning that the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

One sphere has a radions of 181 cm, another has a radius of 5.01 cm. What is the difference in volume (in cubic centimeters) bet

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$2.4*10^{7}cm^{3}$

Explanation:

First you should calculate the volume of a big sphere,so:

$V_{big}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

$V_{big}=\frac{4}{3}\pi (181cm)^{3}$

$V_{big}=2.4*10^{7}cm^{3}$

Then you calculate the volume of a small spehre, so:

$V_{small}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

$V_{small}=\frac{4}{3}\pi (5.01cm)^{3}$

$V_{small}=5.3*10^{2}cm^{3}$

Finally you subtract the two quantities:

$V_{big}-V_{small}=2.4*10^{7}cm^{3}-5.3*10^{2}cm^{3}$

$V_{big}-V_{small}=2.4*10^{7}cm^{3}$

Why does hydrogen have a -1 oxidation state in the compound NaH?

ruslelena [56]

your answer will be :

B. <u>Na has a lower</u> <u>electronegativity than H</u>

because Na belongs to alkali metals which are least electronegative (most electro positive) but hydrogen is a non metal, it has higher electronegativity as compared to metals like Sodium (Na).
