Endothermic reactions are reactions that require heat in the course of the process. The heat of reaction in this case is positive which means the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. In this case, the answer to this problem would have to be <span>1. must be greater than the required ΔH </span>
Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles. Hope this helped!
To answer the questions,
(1) Activation energy is the amount of energy that is needed for the reaction to proceed, converting the reactant to products. The answer is letter B.
(2) The rate of chemical reaction normally increases as the reactant concentration is increased. The answer is letter C.
