In a chemical reaction is reversed, the one that happens to the enthalpy of the reaction is : C. The sign of the enthalpy of the reaction reverses

It's one of Hess' Law : reversing an equation means reversing the sign of entalphy value

Hope this helps

Answer: C. The sign of the enthalpy of the reaction reverses.

Explanation: Enthalpy of a reaction is the net heat absorbed or released during a chemical reaction.It is represented by $\Delta H$ . It is negative for exothermic reactions in which heat is released and is positive for endothermic reactions in which heat is absorbed.

When a chemical reaction is reversed the heat of the reaction changes its sign.

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$ $\Delta H=+ve$

The decomposition of calcium carbonate is an endothermic reaction as heat is required to break the bonds and thus energy is absorbed.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ $\Delta H=-ve$

When the reaction is reversed, the reaction becomes exothermic as now bonds are getting formed and energy is released.

1. What type of information does a pedigree contain?

nevsk [136]

Q1. Pedigree is the recorded lineage of a family. A pedigree chart is actually a diagram showing an appearance and occurrence of phenotypes in several generations. It is used to find a probability of a child inheriting a particular trait or to discover is the trait autosomal or sex-related.

Q2. The presence of a trait in a pedigree chart is shown as filled-in figure. If a square or a circle in the pedigree chart are white (empty), then a person does not have a particular trait. If a figure is filled in (usually black), then a person has a trait. If a figure is half-filled in (e.g. it is half black half white), then a person is only a carrier of a trait but the trait is not expressed.

Q3. In the pedigree charts, squares present males and circles present females. If a female is healthy, the circle is empty (white). If a female is affected with a trait, the circle is filled in (usually black). Similarly, if a male is healthy, the square is empty. If a male is affected with a trait, the square is filled in.

Q4. The presence of dimples is a dominant trait. In dominant traits, traits do not skip generations, unlike recessive traits. From the pedigree, the disorder did not skip any generations. This suggests that the disorder is dominant. If it was recessive, in some generation the trait would not be expressed.

Q5. If a pedigree chart of a family is known, then the occurrence and appearance of a trait can be predicted. For example, if it is known whether a disease is dominant, recessive, or sex-linked, then a possibility of getting a child with a disease can be easily calculated.
