The surface area is greater with the crushed solid so more of the material is exposed to the gas allowing more reactions
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.
Since it's C2, then it must be two Carbon atoms. Think of it this way; there are two atoms of Hydrogen in a water molecule, so we now have H2O.
