Answer: The overall chemical reaction is exothermic is the correct statement.

Explanation: As seen from the given image, the reactants are at higher energy level and products are at lower energy level and the excess energy is released in the form of heat. These reactions are considered as exothermic reactions.

Hence, the reaction given in the image is an exothermic reaction.

The given statement “the overall chemical reaction is exothermic” is true regarding the enthalpy diagram and enthalpies of intermediate and overall chemical reactions.

Further explanation:

Properties are categorized into two types:

1. Intensive properties:

These properties depend on the nature of the substance and not on the size of the system. If the system is further divided into a number of subsystems, the values of intensive properties remain unchanged. Temperature, refractive index, molarity, concentration, pressure, and density are some of the examples of intensive properties.

2. Extensive properties:

These properties depend on the amount of the substance. These are additive in nature if a single system is divided into several subsystems. Mass, enthalpy, volume, energy, size, weight, and length are some of the examples of extensive properties.

Enthalpy:

It is a thermodynamic property that is defined as the sum of internal energy and the product of pressure (P) and volume (V) of the system. It is a state function, an extensive property, and is independent of the path followed by the system while moving from initial to the final point. The total enthalpy of the system cannot be measured directly so its change \left( {\Delta {\text{H}}} \right) is usually measured.

The heat of reaction \left( {{\Delta }}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{reaction}}}}} \right) can have two values:

Case I: If the reaction is endothermic, more energy needs to be supplied to the system than that released by it. So {\Delta }}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{reaction}}}} comes out to be positive.

Case II: If the reaction is exothermic, more energy is released by the system than that supplied to it. So {\Delta }}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{reaction}}}} comes out to be negative.

In the given enthalpy diagram (refer to the attached image), line 1 shows the final or the product state. Line 2 indicates the initial or the reactant state. Line 3 or the dotted line indicates the formation of the first intermediate during the progress of the chemical reaction. Line 4 represents the formation of the second intermediate whose energy is higher than that of first intermediate.

According to the enthalpy diagram, the stable products are formed from the highly energetic unstable intermediate and energy is released during the process. Therefore the overall chemical reaction is exothermic.

In this system, the reactants (line 2) are converted to the first intermediate, represented by line 3. This intermediate is then converted into another higher energy intermediate shown by line 4. The second intermediate is then converted into products, shown by line 1. Therefore three intermediate reactions occur in this system.

The enthalpy of the third intermediate reaction is represented as  . This reaction shows the conversion of highly energetic unstable intermediate into products. Since unstable intermediate is to be converted into stable products, this change is accompanied by the release of energy. Therefore the third intermediate reaction is exothermic, not endothermic in nature.

The longest arrow represents only the conversion of higher energy intermediate into products, not the overall reaction. Therefore the longest arrow does not represent the overall chemical reaction.

Where are the noble gases on the periodic table and what characteristics do they have?

<span>the noble gases are those who occupy the eighth group of the periodic table and are so called because having the complete valence shell do not need to form bonds with other atoms and are thus in atomic form ...
</span>
The noble gases (also called rare gases) are of the inert gases that constitute the eighteenth [1] group of the periodic table of the elements, ie, the right-most column. They consist of atoms with electron shells full. It includes the following elements: helium neon argon krypton xenon radon Ununoctium <span>Sometimes they (particularly helium) are located together with other gases (mostly nitrogen and methane) into endogenous sources; helium of endogenous origin comes from the decomposition of radioactive elements present in the subsurface that emit α particles (ie ions He2 +): These oxidized species present in the soil and become elio.I atoms of the noble gases are all monatomic gas, not easily liquefiable, present the atmosphere in different percentages; the most common is argon which is approximately the 0.932%.</span>

Nitella [24]
To correct her measurement to standard temperature and pressure (STP), she must <span>make a volume correction based on a higher temperature of 273 K. The answer is letter B. This is in order to correct the temperature and pressure because correcting the volume will indicate that the temperature and pressure will result to the opposite result of the volume. This is because volume is indirectly proportional with pressure and temperature.</span>
