white phosphorus is used in flares and explosives, so may be important in warfare, etc. Red phosphorus is used in matches (side of matches) and in fertilizers which are essential to growing plants. I don't know if that is economically important, but there are many ways that phosphorus benifit the economy. One downside on the economy is that phosphorus is one of the main ingredients in meth, which of course causes trouble for the economy ( law enforcement, medical, etc. )

A container with an initial volume of 1.0L is occupied by a gas at a pressure of 150kPa at 25'C. By changing the volume, the pre
Archy [21]

Answer:

Final Volume = 0.31L

Explanation:

Initial volume V1 = 1L

Initial pressure P1 = 150kPa

Initial temperature, T1 = 25'C + 273 = 298K

Final Pressure P2 = 600kPa

Final Temperature T2 = 100'C + 273 = 373K

Final Volume V2 = ?

The combined gas law is given as;

P1V1 / T1  = V2P2 / T2

150 * 1 / 298 = V2 * 600 / 373

V2 = 55950 / 178800 = 0.31L

A student is trying to develop a model of an instant heat pack. What is the essential characteristic of the chemical reaction th
Lana71 [14]

The standard enthalpy of reaction should be negative.

<h3>What is enthalpy?</h3>

A thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the total heat content of a system. It is equal to the internal energy of the system plus the product of pressure and volume.

Inside the heat pack are two chemicals that get mixed when you smush them together. As they mix, some weak bonds are broken, which takes a little bit of energy. But new, stronger bonds form which release energy. Releasing that energy causes the surroundings to heat up.

Hence, option B is correct.
