Answer: option D) energy was absorbed and entropy increased.
Explanation:
1) Given balanced equation:
2H₂O (l) + 571.6 kJ → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂(g).
2) Being the energy placed on the side of the reactants means that the energy is used (consumed or absorbed). This is an endothermic reaction.
So, the first part is that energy was absorbed.
3) As for the entropy, it is a measure of the disorder or radomness of the system.
Since, two molecules of liquid water were transformed into three molecules of gas, i.e. more molecules and more kinetic energy, therefore the new state has a greater degree of radomness, is more disordered, and you conclude that the entropy increased.
With that, you have shown that the right option is D) energy was absorbed and increased.

Answer:</h2><h2>
The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = 19.4 %</h2>
Explanation:
Average electricity consumed per month = 900 kWh
The family cools their house for three months during the summer with two window-unit air conditioners
The power consumed by one window-unit air conditioners = 350 kWh
The power consumed by two window-unit air conditioners = 350(2) = 700 kWh
Power consumed for two air conditioners for the three summer months = 700 (3) = 2100 kWh
Total power consumed for 1 year = 900 (12) = 10800kWh
The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months =
= 19.4 %
It is an example of how the boys environment affected him, making him an outlier to what should typically happen. Hope this helps!
