Given reactions:
(A) 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + sunlight → C6H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)
(B) 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) + energy
Exothermic reactions are those which proceed with the release of heat/energy. In contrast, endothermic reactions proceed with the absorption of energy in the form of heat or light.
Since reaction A required sunlight, it is endothermic. Reaction B releases energy, hence exothermic
Ans: (B)
A is endothermic
B is exothermic
Answer:
Ethane would have a higher boiling point.
Explanation:
In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.
Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.
I hope it helps!
