When a given reaction is conducted in a calorimeter, energy is absorbed from the surrounding water and results in a decrease in

the water’s temperature. Which of the following best describes the difference in the potential energy of the reactants and products in this reaction?
The potential energy remains low before and after the reaction.
The potential energy of the reactants is higher than that of the products.
The potential energy of the reactants is much lower than that of the products
The potential energy of the reactants does not differ from that of the products.

Answer: The potential energy of the reactants is much lower than that of the products

Explanation: 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 \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

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 \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Thus as the reactants have absorbed energy from the surrounding water, the energy of the products will be higher and the reaction is termed as endothermic reaction.

The overall charge of an atom is ________ if the number of electrons is ________ than the number of protons.
miss Akunina [59]
The overall charge of an atom is positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles. If there are less electrons as compared to the number of protons in an atom, then naturally the overall charge of the atom would be positive since there are excess protons. Another case would be that the overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom having more electrons than the number of the protons present would lead to a negative value of the charge since there are excess electrons.

How many mL of a stock solution of 2.00 M KNO3 are needed to prepare 100.0 mL of 0.15M KNO3? with work plz
Tatiana [17]
Using the law of dilution :

Mi x Vi =  Mf x Vf

2.00 x Vi = 0.15 x 100.0

2.00 x Vi = 15

Vi = 15 / 2.00

Vi = 7.5 mL

hope this helps!

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Nt=25 g

No=100 g

t1/2=5770 years

\tt 25=100\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/5770}\\\\2=T/5770\rightarrowT=11540~years

Which unit can be used to express the concentration of a solution?
exis [7]

Answer: (3) ppm

Explanation: Concentration is defined as the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent or  a solution.

Parts per million (ppm) is used to express the concentration when a very small quantity of solute is present in a large quantity of the solution. It is defined as the mass of solute present in one milion (10^6) parts by mass of the solution.

ppm=\frac{\text {mass of Solute}}{\text {Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

L/s is used to express flow rate.

J/g is used to express energy per unit mass.

kPa is used to express pressure.
