Answer: (3) Energy is absorbed as bonds are broken, and energy is released as bonds are formed.
Explanation:
1) The equation given is H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g) + energy
2) The energy is shown in the product side, so energy is a product of the reaction, so energy is release.
But this is just the net energy of the process. You need more insight to deal with the energy changes in the reaction.
3) Chemical bonds store energy; this stored energy is the potential chemical energy of the molecules.
When a chemical reaction occurs, the first stage is to brake bonds.
Braking chemical bonds requires energy to overcome the bond energy. Braking bonds always absorbs energy.
On the other hand, forming bonds always release energy.
The neat energy of the reaction is the difference between the energy needed to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds form.
So, regardless the fact that, in the chemical equation that represents the reaction a net energy release is shown, you know that energy is absorbed as bonds are broken, and energy is released as bonds are formed (option 3).
Answer:
the type is single replacement
Answer is: The solution has now become a good conductor of electricity.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻) accordinf to balanced chemical reaction:
HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
When there are free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity.
Yes, it can happen.
If all the lower energy orbits are already filled with electrons, then it cannot happen since the lower orbitals will already be full, hence another electron will have to move.
However, if the lower energy orbits are not full (for instance if one excited electron goes back to its normal state), then it can happen.
