Explain the difference between a physical property and chemical property. Give examples of each.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
A physical property is what a substance is like; it's directly observable. On the other hand, a chemical property is how a substance behaves; its reactivity.

Examples of a physical property are: color, texture, boiling point, freezing point, and melting point.

Examples of a chemical property are: flammability, combustion, and formation of a precipitate.

For the following systems at equilibrium C: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s)+CO2(g) ΔH=+178 kJ/mol D: PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol cl
Rama09 [41]

Explanation:

C: CaCO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons CaO(s)+CO_2(g)ΔH=+178 kJ/mol

For an endothermic reaction, heat is getting absorbed during a chemical reaction and is written on the reactant side.

A+\text{heat}\rightleftharpoons B

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a reactant and on increasing a reactant at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the forward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → forward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → backward direction

System C - Increase temperature : Reaction will move forward

System C - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move backward

D: PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol

The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative .

The temperature of the surrounding will increase.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a product and on increasing a product at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the backward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → backward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → forward direction

System D - Increase temperature : Reaction will move backward

System D - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move forward

Antifreeze is added to a car's radiator to protect it. Which of the following
zhenek [66]

Answer:

the correct answer is b antifreeze protects the radiator during summer in winter.

Explanation:

Antifreeze is (typically mixed with water) to help manage the engine during extreme temperatures. As the temperature fluctuates between hot and cold coolant is distributed throughout the engine block to sustain even operating temperature.
