What causes thermal energy to be released

1 answer:

8 0

Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mendeleev was the first scientist to arrange the element in such a periodic order but there was a mistake that he arranged in increasing order of mass.
Today we use the periodic table given by Henry Mosley where atomic no is first priority

Which of the following must be true about a reaction if it is only spontaneous at high temperatures?

Anastaziya [24]

1) Answer is: It is endothermic, with both positive enthalpy and entropy changes.

Endothermic reactions (ΔH>0) that increase the entropy of the system (ΔS>0) are spontaneous at high temperatures.

The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.

ΔH is the change in enthalpy.

ΔS is change in entropy.

T is temperature of the system.

When ΔG is negative, a reaction (occurs without the addition of external energy) will be spontaneous (exergonic).

2) Answer is: It is endothermic and heat is added to the system.

There are two types of reaction:

1) endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases, ΔH>0).

2) exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).

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.

3) Answer is: For every two AB produced, the reaction requires three A.

Balanced chemical reaction: 3A + B → 2AB.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(A) : n(AB) = 3 : 2.

n(A) = 3 · n(AB) ÷ 2.

A and B are reactants and AB is product of balanced chemical reaction.

For every two AB produced, the reaction requires one B.

4) Answer is:

the amount of required activation energy = potential energy of the B - potential energy of the reactants A.

the enthalpy change of the reaction = potential energy of the products C - potential energy of the reactants A.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start).

This is endothermic reaction.

Hydrofluoric acid (HF) can be prepared according to the following equation:

Artemon [7]

Given the balanced equation:

( Reaction type : double replacement)

CaF2 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + 2HFI

We can determine the number of grams prepared from the quantity of 75.0 H2SO4, and 63.0g of CaF2 by converting these grams to moles per substance.

This can be done by evaluating the atomic mass of each element of the substance, and totaling it to find the molecular mass.

For H2SO4 or hydrogen sulfate it's molecular mass is the sum of the quantity of atomic mass per element. H×2 + S×1 + O×4 = ≈1.01×2 + ≈32.06×1 + ≈16×4 = 2.02 + 32.06 + 64 = 98.08 u (Dalton's or Da) or g / mol.

For CaF2 or calcium fluoride, it's molecular mass adds 1 atomic mass of calcium and 2 atomic masses of fluoride due to the number of atoms.

Ca×1 + F×2 = ≈40.07×1 + ≈19×2 = 40.08 + 38 = 78.07 u (Da or Dalton's) or g / mol.
