Answer:
= -356KJ
<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>
Explanation:
given that enthalpy of gaseous reactants decreases by 162KJ and workdone is -194KJ
then,
change in enthalpy (ΔH) = -162( released energy)
work(w) = -194KJ
change in enthalpy is said to be negative if the heat is evolved during the reaction while heat change(ΔH) is said to be positive if the heat required for the reaction occurs.
At constant pressure the change in enthalpy is given as
ΔH = ΔU + PΔV
ΔU = change in energy
ΔV = change in volume
P = pressure
w = -pΔV
therefore,
ΔH = ΔU -W
to evaluate energy change we have,
ΔU =ΔH + W
ΔU = -162+ (-194KJ)
= -356KJ
<em>therefore, the reaction where heat is released is exothermic reaction since theΔH is negative</em>
Answer:
Carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant, in fire extinguishers, for inflating life rafts and life jackets, blasting coal, foaming rubber and plastics, promoting the growth of plants in greenhouses, immobilizing animals before slaughter, and in carbonated beverages.
