Any buffer exists in this equilibrium
HA <=>

In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base (

)
When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base (

) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.
Burning Mg in the air and reacting with O2 forming a white powder of MnO
So the equation is going to be:
Mn + O2 ⇒ MnO (this equation is not conserved)
to make it equilibrium:
1- First we should put 2Mno to equal the O2 on both sides.
So it will be:
Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO
2- Second we should put 2Mn to equal the Mn on both sides.
2Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO (this equation is conserved)
After putting the physical states the final equilibrium equation is going to be:
Δ
2Mg(s) + O2(g)⇒ 2MgO(s)
Answer:
a. Heat is often absorbed during reactions.
c. Heat is often released during chemical reactions.
Explanation:
Thermochemistry -
The study of thermochemistry involve the change in the amount of heat , during any physical or chemical process , is referred to as thermodynamics .
The focus of thermochemistry is on the changing amount of energy in the form of heat , on the system with respect to the surroundings .
The process like boiling , melting , sublimation , may require energy or releases energy , and hence are studied under thermochemistry .
Hence , from the given question ,
The correct options are - a , c.
