Jonathan used the following soil triangle to identify a sample of soil as sandy clay. Which description of soil likely allowed J
onathan to make this identification. A. Mostly large grains, with a sticky texture, 55% sand, 40% clay, 5% silt.
B. Mostly large grains, with a gritty texture, 45% sand, 5% clay, 45% silt.
C. Mostly small grains, with a smooth texture, 30% sand, 5% clay, 65% silt.
D. Mostly small grains, with a sticky texture, 30% sand, 50% clay, 20% silt.
Molecular compounds are pure substances formed when atoms are linked together by sharing of electrons while ionic compounds are formed due to the transfer of electrons.
Molecular compounds are made due to covalent bonding while ionic compounds are made due to ionic bonding.
1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.
2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
