Answer:
It is an example of coupling an exogenic reaction to an endogenic reaction.
Explanation:
The endergonic reaction is typically being pushed by coupling it to strongly exergonic reaction. This is in most cases via shared intermediates. Most chemical reactions are endergonic in nature. In other word, the are not spontaneous (i.e ΔG>0). Energy must also be applied externally to initiate the reactions. The reactions can also be coupled to exergonic reactions (with ΔG<0) to initiate them through a process known as share intermediate. Because Gibbs Energy can be summed up (i.e is a state function), the combined ΔG of the coupled reaction will be thermodynamically favorable. The decomposition of calcium carbonate is a typical example.
I believe the answer is diamond. Hope this helps!
Answer:
I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample
Explanation:
I would use calorimetry to determine the specific heat.
I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance.
I would heat the substance to a known temperature.
I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature.
I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change.
I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed.
I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.
