The potential energy diagram for a reaction starts at 180 kJ and ends at 300 kJ. What type of reaction does the diagram best rep
1 answer:
Answer: Endothermic reaction
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.
Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be positive.
As the energy of reactants is 180 kJ and that of products is 300 kJ, the energy of products is greater than that of reactants, which means the energy has been absorbed and reaction is endothermic.

The molecular formula for the compound is
<u>Explanation</u>:
As with all of these problems, we assume 100 g of an unknown compound.
And thus, we determine the elemental composition by the given percentages.
Moles of carbon = 85.64 / 12.011
= 7.13 mol.
Moles of hydrogen = 14.36 / 1.00794
= 14.25 mol.
There are 2 moles of hydrogen per mole of carbon. And thus the empirical formula is CH.
And molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)
Thus, 42.08 = n × (12.011 + 2 × 1.00794)
And thus n = 3, and molecular formula =
