How is an exothermic reaction identified on a potential energy diagram?

1 answer:

4 0

Energy diagrams are use to depict the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction. There are two types of reaction based on the energy change, these are exothermic and endothermic reactions. In endothermic reactions energy are gained while in exothermic reactions energy are lost to the environment. To identify an exothermic reaction on a potential energy diagram, one has to compare the potential energy of the reactants and the products. If the potential energy of the product is less than that of the reactants, the reaction is exothermic.

Answer:

1) The number of the listed compounds that have ionic bonds between them are 5 compounds

2) Their formulas showing their charges within the compounds are;

NaCl ↔ Na⁺+Cl⁻

MgO ↔ Mg²⁺+O²⁻

K₂O ↔ 2K⁺+O²⁻

LiF ↔Li⁺+F⁻

CaO ↔ Ca⁺+O²⁻

3) The major reason they were selected is because they are compounds formed by the combination of a metal and a nonmetal

Explanation:

1) An ionic bond involves the transfer of an atoms valence to another atom, such that the ions formed by the ionic chemical bond will be oppositely charged

Therefore, metals, which are elements that mainly have a few electrons in their outermost shell, loses their valence electrons and become positively charged, while non metals, which require a few electrons to complete the stable octet electronic configuration, receive the electrons from the metallic atoms and become negatively charged

Therefore, the compounds formed between a metal and a nonmetal in the list are the the compounds containing ionic bonds, including

NaCl, MgO, K₂O, LiF, and CaO

Therefore, 5 compounds contain ionic bonds between them;

2) Their formulas are;

NaCl, MgO, K₂O, LiF, and CaO

3) The major reason that the chosen compounds contain ionic bonding between them is because they involve the combination of a metal and a nonmetal as follows;

a) NaCl → Na⁺ (metal ion) + Cl⁻(nonmetal ion)

b) MgO → Mg²⁺ (metal ion) + O²⁻(nonmetal ion)

c) K₂O → 2K⁺ (metal ion) + O²⁻(nonmetal ion)

d) LiF → Li⁺ (metal ion) + F⁻(nonmetal ion)

e) CaO → Ca⁺ (metal ion) + O²⁻(nonmetal ion)

Energy in Devices. An engineer needs to design a device that transforms light energy into sound energy. Describe a design for a

N76 [4]

Answer:

built a special cavity where the electromagnetic quantum states resonate with the natural vibrations of the atoms. In doing so, one cancouple a photon-based oscillator to a mechanical oscillator, controlling the mechanical quantum states with visible light. The result is a prototype of a quantum transducer, a device that converts light energy into mechanical energy (sound energy)

Explanation:

Sound energy is created by vibrating particles of medium that propagates as a wave. So in order to convert light (electromagnetic wave) to sound wave it has to be converted into electric or magnetic signals. Then these signals can be converted into sound waves.

However, if you consider the particle nature of light. It contains momentum and after collision sets the other particles into oscillatory motion but the wavelength of these vibrations is too high to be considered as sound waves.
