Answer: The statement is false
Explanation:
Addition of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to a beaker full of water (H2O) will release heat energy to the containing vessel due to the breakage of strong ionic bond present in the acid.
Thus, it is an evidence of a EXERGONIC REACTION (since energy is released spontaneously). So, the statement is false
It is a fact that nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy in the core of a nuclear reactor. This is because it is part of a power plant fission act, where nuclear energy heats up water in a nearby vicinity.
Answer:
b. There has been little to no recent growth in renewable energy use due to a lack of environmental concerns with the use of fossil fuels.
Explanation:
Fossil fuels have had tremendous negative impacts on the environment and humans as well. For that reason, the use of renewable sources of energy, such as hydropower and biomass, have become increasingly popular over the last few decades.
