The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction.
<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>
This question can be simply solved by using heat formula,
Q = mCΔT
Q = heat energy (J)
m = Mass (kg)
C = Specific heat capacity (J / kg K)
ΔT = Temperature change (K)
when water freezes, it produces ice at 0°C (273 K)
hence the temperature change is 25 K (298 K - 273 K)
C for water is 4186 J / kg K or 4.186 J / g K
By applying the equation,
Q = 456 g x 4.186 J / g K x 25 K
= 47720.4 J
= 47.72 kJ
hence 47.72 kJ of heat energy should be removed.
Answer:
C) It has a constant average kinetic energy
Explanation:
The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, according to the equation.
k is the Boltzmann's constant
T is the absolute temperature of the gas
Therefore, temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
In this problem, we are told that the gas is at constant temperature (and volume): therefore, according to the previous equation, this means that the average kinetic energy is also constant.
It posed a contradiction to Quantum Theory
Answer:
a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction
