Answer is: a) is has increased.
There are two types of reaction:
1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases).
For example, the breakdown of ozone is an endothermic process. Ozone has lower energy than molecular oxygen (O₂) and oxygen atom, so ozone need energy to break bond between oxygen atoms.
2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).
For example, ΔH(reaction) = -225 kJ/mol; this is exothermic reaction.
Heat capacity of aluminium = 0.900 J/g°C
While heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g°C
Heat = heat gained by water + heat gained by aluminium
Heat gained by water = 100 × 4.186 × 30.5
= 12767.3 Joules
Heat gained by aluminium = 15 × 0.9 × 30.5
= 411.75 Joules
Heat required = 13179.05 Joules or 13.179 kJoules
<>"One such trend is closely linked to atomic radii -- ionic radii. Neutral atoms tend to increase in size down a group and decrease across a period. When a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, creating an anion or cation, the atom's radius increases or decreases, respectively."<>
