Answer: Option A) dissolving sugar in water

Explanation:

Sugar belongs to the class of food nutrients called carbohydrates, and it contains high energy bonds in its atoms that reacts with water thereby spontaneously releasing energy (in form of heat) to the surroundings.

Unlike others, energy is released when sugar is dissolved in water, thus the reaction is an example of exothermic reaction.

How many moles of hcl are required to neutralize aqueous solutions of these bases:
Lemur [1.5K]
The answers are a.) 0.03 mol KOH requires 0.03 mol HCl, b.) 2 mol NH3 requires 2 mol HCl and c.) 0.1 mol Ca(OH)2 requires 0.2 mol HCl.
Solution:
We need to write the balanced equations for each reactions to find out the stoichiometry for each reactants. 
a.) HCl (aq) + KOH (aq) → KCl (aq) + H2O(ℓ)
From the balanced equations, we can see that 1 HCl reacts with 1 KOH, therefore if 0.03 mol KOH is reacted then 0.03 mol HCl must also be present. 

b.) HCl(aq) + NH3(aq) ) → NH4Cl(aq)
If 2 moles of NH3 are reacted then 2 moles of HCl must also be present since 1 HCl reacts with 1 NH3 from the balanced reaction.

c.) 2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(s) → CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(ℓ)
We can see that 2 HCl react with 1 Ca(OH)2, hence if 0.1 mol of Ca(OH)2 is reacted then 0.2 mol HCl must also be present.

Olegator [25]
A combustion reaction involves an organic compound reacted with oxygen. The general chemical equation is as follows:
<span>
Organic Compound + Oxygen = CO2 + H2O

</span><span>To calculate the amount of C present in the original sample, we use the values given and assume that there is complete combustion that is happening.
</span><span>
7.33 g CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 44.01 g CO2)(1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.167 mol C

Therefore, 0.167 mol of C was originally in the sample.</span>
