Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 215. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, w

hich is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that -155. kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction.
Calculate the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.


Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

Answer:

1. The change in energy is 60KJ or 6.0 × 10^1 KJ

2. Endothermic reaction

Explanation:

The Enthalpy (ΔU) for the mixture is given as 215kJ and the workdone (W) on the mixture is - 155KJ. Hence, the change in the energy (ΔH) ofthe mixture is computed using the equation below:

ΔH = ΔU + w

Where,

ΔH= Change in energy

ΔU= Enthalpy change

W= workdone

Therefore ΔH is:

ΔH= 215 kJ + (-155Kj)

ΔH= 60 KJ

Therefore, the change in energy is 60KJ or 6.0 × 10^1 KJ

The value is positive so it is an endothermic reaction.

An endothermic reaction happens when the energy used to break the bonds in the reactants is higher than the energy given out when bonds are formed in the products. This means that the entire reaction takes in energy, hence there is a temperature decrease in the surroundings. Endothermic reactions cannot happen spontaneously. Work is usually done in order to get these reactions to occur. When endothermic reactions absorb energy, a temperature drop is measured by the reaction.

How is heat produced in a chemical change​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:Hola UwU

Most chemical reactions involve the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. It takes energy to break a chemical bond but energy is released when chemical bonds are formed. If more energy is released than consumed, then the chemical reaction evolves heat and is said to be exothermic.

Why does galium melt
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).

- It melts once it reaches its melting point.
