A 1-cubic-centimeter cube of sodium reacts more rapidly in water at 25°C than does a 1-cubic-centimeter cube of calcium at 25°C.

This difference in rate of reaction is most closely associated with the different

As given that the

a) temperature is same for both the metals

b) the volume of both the cubes is same (Same dimension)

The metals are sodium and calcium

Sodium has atomic number = 11

the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

It will attain noble gas configuration by easily losing one electron only

calcium has atomic number = 20

the electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

It will attain noble gas configuration by donating two electrons so calcium is less reactive than sodium

hence the difference in the rate of reaction is most closely associated with the different nature of the metals

Study the reaction. NO(g) ⇌ 12N2(g) + 12O2(g) ΔH = −90.3 kJ Which statement about the reaction is correct? A) The reverse reacti
lozanna [386]

Answer:

The forward reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is one in which energy is released, usually in the form of heat hence the enthalpy of the reaction is negative. When a reaction exothermic, the energy of the reactants is greater than the energy of the products hence the excess energy is given out as heat. The reactants lie at a higher energy level in the reaction profile compared to the products.

When we look at the reaction given in the question, NO(g) ⇌ 12N2(g) + 12O2(g) ΔH = −90.3 kJ , we can easily see from the thermochemical reaction that the forward reaction is exothermic, energy is released by the reaction system as evidenced by the negative enthalpy of reaction.
