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.

How do scientists determine locations for drilling for natural gas? Where are many natural gas drill sites located? (Site 2)

Alchen [17]

Explanation:

By drilling several cores miles apart , geologist can correlate the rock units and create an image what exists and where below the surface.

Combining this information with rocks exposed to the surface , which can gives clues about rock orientation below, can be a powerful tool to locating oil and gas .
