D. a compound can only be separated into its components by chemical means
When waters salinity increases it’s freezing point will decrease. This is one of the reasons why people salt the roads after a snow storm.
Answer:
A. It is exothermic
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen present in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water as well release heat and light energy.Combustion is an exothermic process.
An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy required to form new bonds in the products in an exothermic reaction.
From the given options;
A. It is exothermic is determinable since the reaction is a combustion reaction
B. The bond making energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather it is composed of various substances.
C. It is endothermic. is wrong because combustion of wood is exothermic.
D. The bond breaking energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather is composed of many substances.
