Which of the following processes is exothermic?

Chemistry

Elodia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

a. The reaction associated with DHºf for an ionic compound

Explanation:

An exothermic process is a process that loses heat for the surroundings, so the temperature of the system must decrease, and ΔH must be negative.

DHºf or ΔHºf of an ionic compound is always negative because the final energy is always lower than the initial. It happens because of the stability of the bond, the system wants a lower energy state to be stable.

The ionization of a lithium atom occurs with the gain of energy, which is given to the electron, so it may give off the atom. So it's an endothermic process.

To change the state of a solid to a gas (sublimation), the compound must gain heat, its temperature must increase, so it's always an endothermic process.

To break a covalent bond it's necessary the gain of energy, so it's an endothermic process.

Answer:A

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of formation for an ionic compound is calculated from the Born-Haber cycle. Using the Hess law of constant heat summation. The result is always negative (exothermic) because energy is given out when the new lattice is formed.

GIVE THE DEFINITION OF EACH WORD.
KATRIN_1 [288]

1. a group of resources treated as a single entity that accepts a combination of materials and instructions to add value through a series of operations; may be either automated or manual.

2. a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit. A nonliving material, called the intercellular matrix, fills the spaces between the cells.

3. a differentiated structure (such as a heart, kidney, leaf, or stem) consisting of cells and tissues and performing some specific function in an organism.

4. a group of organs that work together to perform a certain function in an organism's body.

5.  complex systems of chemical compounds that, through interaction and environment, play a wide variety of roles. Organisms are semi-closed chemical systems. Although they are individual units of life (as the definition requires), they are not closed to the environment around them.

6. the significance of the charge hosted by a particular atom in a molecule becomes obvious

7. an interacting group of various species in a common location

8. an ecological community comprised of biological, physical, and chemical components

9. the variety of life found in a place on Earth

Select all the true statements regarding chemical equilibrium.
gladu [14]
Chemical equilibrium is reach when the concentrations of the product and reactants will no longer change with time. this does not mean that there is no change in concentration, only the net change is zero. the forward rate of reaction is now equal to backward rate of reaction.

How much pressure does an elephant with a mass of 2200 Kg and a total footprint area of 4500 cm2 exert on the ground?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.
