The answer should be (D) endothermic reaction.
Reason : - Reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions. In your provided question, 150 kcal energy is being <u>absorbed</u>, and thus, we can say that it is an endothermic reaction.
All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons. As you move down the table, every row adds an orbital.
This problem may easily solved by applying the conservation of mass, which states that the total mass before and after a change is constant because mass can neither be created nor destroyed.
We know that water consists of only hydrogen and water, and that there are no other reactants except hydrogen and oxygen. Thus:
Mass of reactants = Mass of product
mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = mass of water
4 + mass of oxygen = 36
mass of oxygen = 32 grams
the correct answer is b it makes the most sense
