Compare and contrast exothermic and endothermic

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
3 0
Exothermic is the release of heat. Exo as in exit to leave and thermos, the Greek word for heat. Endothermic is the absorption of heat. So if a chemical reaction is exothermic the reaction loses heat and it feels warm to you. If it is endothermic, it absorbs heat. If you are holding a beaker with an endothermic reaction, it will absorb the heat from you and therefore these re actions feel cool to touch!

what would the percentage of thorium-232 ( parent compound) be in a rock that was dated at 1.8 billion years
vovikov84 [41]

The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years  

Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years  

Equation of radioactive decay:

A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂

Thus, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%

19. Which of the following best describes the role of the spark from the spark plug in an automobile engine?
sergey [27]

The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.
  • An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
  • The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.

Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol, C2 H5 OH, is – 950 kJ mol–1. How much heat is evolved when one gram of ethyl alcohol bu
melomori [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

20.62 Kilo-joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The Enthalpy of combustion of ethyl alcohol is -950 kJ/mol.
  • This means that 1 mole of ethyl alcohol evolves a quantity of heat of 950 Joules when burned.

Molar mass of ethyl ethanol = 46.08 g/mol

Therefore;

46.08 g of  C₂H₅OH evolves heat equivalent to 950 kilojoules

We can calculate the amount of heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH

Heat evolved by 1 g of C₂H₅OH  = Molar enthalpy of combustion ÷ Molar mass

                                      = 950 kJ/mol ÷ 46.08 g/mol

                                      = 20.62 Kj/g

Therefore, a gram of C₂H₅OH  will evolve 20.62 kilo-joules of heat
