Answer:

A. endothermic.

A. Yes, absorbed.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 182 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.

182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:

72.8g.\frac{1mol}{216.59g} .\frac{182kJ}{2mol} =30.6kJ/mol

How many atoms of hydrogen are found in the compound, NH4C2H302?
Mariulka [41]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

7 hydrogen atoms

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

N<em><u>H4</u></em>C2<em><u>H3</u></em>02

In this problem we see the hydrogen atom twice, along with the numbers 4 and 3 next to them. (as shown above in bold & underlined)

So, in order to find how many there are in all you add both hydrogen atoms together-

H4+H3= H7

therefore, there are 7 hydrogen atoms in all

In a redox reaction, reduction is defined by the:
jonny [76]

Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.

Describe the trend in electronegativity of the elements ?​
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.

Explanation:

Make sure to edit so you don't get copy-writed.

How do atoms and molecules of elements and compounds combine in chemical reactions?
solong [7]

Answer:

A compound is a unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically. Compounds form as a result of chemical reactions. The elements in compounds are held together by chemical bonds. A chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions that share or transfer valence electrons
