Answer – Volume’s proportionality to temperature is direct.

Explanation-

As we know density is the mass of an object per unit volume of that object it depends on the volume and we also know that volume is dependent directly on temperature does. When temperature of something increases, then the volume of that object also increases. Because on heating the molecules start moving faster and faster movement of molecules need more space.

Hence the opposite happens when temperature decreases the volume and volume being inversely proportional to density causes and the density to increase in kinetic energy.

This is because temperatures determine the kinetic energy of molecules of a substance, At lower temperatures the molecules have low kinetic energy hence the distance between molecules is not as large as when the kinetic energy is higher (because the molecules bombard less and with less kinetic energy). This means the substance can pack more molecules per volume at lower temperatures. The more the molecules per volume the higher the density.

When C2H6(g) reacts with O2(g) according to the following reaction, 1.43×103 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of C2H6(g) t
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

-2.86x10³ kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of a reaction (ΔH) is defined as the heat produced or consumed by a reaction. In the reaction:

2 C₂H₆(g) + 7 O₂(g) → 4 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

The ΔH is the heat envolved in the reaction per 2 moles of C₂H₆. 1.43x10³ kJ are involved when 1 mole reacts. Thus, when 2 moles react, involved heat is:

1.43x10³ kJ ₓ 2 = <em>2.86x10³ kJ</em>. As the reaction is a combustion reaction (Produce CO₂ and H₂O), the heat involved in the reaction is <em>PRODUCED, </em>that means ΔH is negative, <em>-2.86x10³ kJ</em>
