Answer:
a. absorbs energy as heat and has positive enthalpy of solution.
Explanation:
A reaction can either be exothermic or endothermic. An endothermic reaction, as the dissolution described in the question, is that which absorbs heat energy from the surroundings in order to start the reaction.
Because an endothermic reaction makes heat lost from the surroundings, the enthalpy (∆H) of the solution will be positive (+). ∆H is got by finding the difference between the enthalpy of the reactants and products and since the enthalpy of a product in endothermic reaction is more, the enthalpy change (∆T) will be positive.
Answer:
D) 1 iron(II), 2 chloride
Explanation:
Iron II chloride is the compound; FeCl2. It is formed as follows, ionically;
Fe^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) -----> FeCl2
The formation of one mole of FeCl2 involves the reaction one mole of iron and two moles of chloride ions. This means that in FeCl2, the ratio of iron to chlorine is 1:2 as seen above.
Therefore there is one iron II ion and two chloride ions in each mole of iron II chloride, hence the answer.
Based on the incomplete neutralization reaction above, the corresponding salts that each reaction would form are as follows:
1. H2SO4 + 2NH4OH----(NH4)2SO4 with water as a byproduct
2. 2NaOH + H2CO3 ----Na2CO3 with water as a byproduct
3. HNO3 + KOH ----KNO3 with water as a byproduct
