Hess's law states that the energy change in an overall chemical reaction is equal to the sum of the energy changes in the individual reactions comprising it. In other words, the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction (the heat of reaction at constant pressure) does not depend on the pathway between the initial and final states. The law is a variation of the first law of thermodynamics and conservation of energy.

Answer:

C. The enthalpy of a reaction is the sum of the enthalpies of intermediate reactions.

Explanation:

The heat of any reaction ΔH∘f for a specific reaction is equal to the sum of the heats of reaction for any set of reactions which in sum are equivalent to the overall reaction.

mezya [45]

Answer:

Methane is present in solid, liquid and gaseous form.

Explanation:

Methane hydrate is present in solid state when the hydrogen-bonded water and methane gas come into contact at high pressures and low temperatures in the deep oceans while on the other hand, methane which is present inside the earth surface in gaseous form due to non-availability of water that can combine with methane. Methane is also found in liquid form when it is cool with high pressure and low temperature.

Option 1 : 1900 - 1786 = 114

Option 2 : 1450 - 1300 = 150

Option 3: 1950 - 1833 = 117

Option 4: 2000 - 1822 = 178

Option 1 has the lowest energy rate so ver time would be the best deal.

The photodissociation of ozone by ultraviolet light in the upper atmosphere is a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 1.

atroni [7]

Answer:

[O₃]= 8.84x10⁻⁷M

Explanation:

The photodissociation of ozone by UV light is given by:

O₃ + hν → O₂ + O (1)

The first-order reaction of the equation (1) is:

$rate = k [O_{3}] = - k \frac{\Delta [O_{3}]}{\Delta t}$ (2)

where k: is the rate constant and Δ[O₃]/Δt: is the variation in the ozone concentration with time, and the negative sign is by the decrease in the reactant concentration

We can get the following expression of the first-order integrated law of the reaction (1), by resolving the equation (2):

$[O_{3}]_{t} = [O_{3}]_{0} \cdot e^{-kt}$ (3)
