Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water is used by the plants to make their on food.  

Plants absorb energy in the form of heat from the sunlight and thus produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. This absorbed energy is then used to start various chemical and biochemical reactions in the plants.

Hence, photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that a large amount of energy is required to activate the reaction.

The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away from while 77.9 joules of work done are being done on it
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

51 J

Explanation:

The air inside a bicycle tire pump has 27 joules of heat conducted away. By convention, when heat is released, it takes the negative sign, so Q = -27 J.

77.9 joules of work done are being done on the air inside a bicycle tire pump. By convention, when work is being done on the system, it takes the positive sign, so W = 77.9 J

We can calculate the change in the internal energy (ΔU) using the following expression.

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU = (-27 J) + 77.9 J

ΔU =  51 J

Given the following at 25C calculate delta Hf for HCN (g) at 25C. 2NH3 (g) +3O2 (g) + 2CH4 (g) ---> 2HCN (g) + 6H2O (g) delta
AysviL [449]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H_f for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

2NH_3(g)+3O_2(g)+2CH_4(g)\rightarrow 2HCN(g)+6H_2O(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(NH_3)})+(3\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2)})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(CH_4)})]

We are given:

\Delta H_f_{(H_2O)}=-241.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(NH_3)}=-80.3kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CH_4)}=-74.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2)}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-870.8kJ

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-870.8=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times (-241.8))]-[(2\times (-80.3))+(3\times (0))+(2\times (-74.6))]\\\\\Delta H_f_{(HCN)}=135.1kJ

Hence, the \Delta H_f for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

The balanced equation for photosynthesis is shown below.
klio [65]
The true answer is: It's conserved because the total number of H atoms on each side is 12.
the first two answer is wrong because it's conserved not as mentioned, It's not conserved.

and the last one also wrong because the total number of O atoms are equal at the two sides but not equal 2.
