Chemical energy is the kind of energy stored in the bonds formed by atoms and molecules in chemical compounds and elements. This energy is released during a chemical reaction and heat is often given out in the process. These kind of reactions where heat is given out as a by product are called exothermic reactions.
The major factor that determines how much chemical energy a substance has is the mass of that substance. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance.
The higher the mass of a substance, the more concentrated that substance is and subsequently the greater the number of atoms and molecules.
Logically, the higher the number of atoms and molecules then the greater the number of bonds in that substance and subsequently the more the amount of chemical energy stored therein.
Answer: If a mineral contains only atoms of oxygen and metal, it is most likely an oxide mineral.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. 342.9 kJ of heat are absorbed.
Explanation:
Calculation of the moles of 
as:-
Mass = 20.00 g
Molar mass of = 17.031 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
Given that:- 
It means that 1 mole of undergoes reaction and absorbs 1168\ kJ of heat
So,
1168 mole of undergoes reaction and absorbs 
of heat
<u>Amount of heat absorbed = + 342.9 KJ</u>
When wood burns it makes 1 ash and 2 CO and so law of conversation matter wouldn't be violated as the ash + the smoke each would have a fraction of the original matter from the wood
