I'm having trouble understanding what "the difference in energy between the products and reactants from the surroundings" means.

Can you help explain what this means? please​

Answer:

The energy change in a chemical reaction is due to the difference in the amounts of stored chemical energy between the products and the reactants. This stored chemical energy, or heat content, of the system is known as its enthalpy.

Explanation:

Due to the absorption of energy when chemical bonds are broken, and the release of energy when chemical bonds are formed, chemical reactions almost always involve a change in energy between products and reactants. By the Law of Conservation of Energy, however, we know that the total energy of a system must remain unchanged, and that oftentimes a chemical reaction will absorb or release energy in the form of heat, light, or both.

Define a transverse wave
Mumz [18]
Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.

Argon has a pressure of 34.6 atm. It is transferred to a new tank with a volume of 456 L and pressure of 2.94 atm. What was the
NemiM [27]

Answer:

38.75 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying Boyles Law,

PV = P'V'....................... Equation 1

Where P = Original pressure of the Argon gas, V = Original Volume of Argon gas, P' = Final pressure of Argon gas, V' =  Final Volume of Argon gas.

make V the subject of the equation

V = P'V'/P.................... Equation 2

Given: P = 34.6 atm, V' = 456 L, P' = 2.94 atm.

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = (456×2.94)/34.6

V = 38.75 L

Propane (c3h8) is burned in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. the heat of combustion of propane is -2012 kj/mole. how
Olegator [25]
C_{3} H_{8} + 5 O_{2} ---\ \textgreater \  3CO_{2}  +4H_{2}O    (-2012 \frac{kJ}{mol} )


3 mol                10 mol


C_{3}H_{8} is /excess /reactant

because 3 mol propane require 15 mol oxygen (by reaction)

5 mol oxygen ---1 mol propane, so

10 mol oxygen ---2 mol propane

Only 2 mole propane will be burned,

so 

2012 ( kJ/mol)*2 mol =4024 KJ heat will be given off

Correct answer is number 4.

What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator?
Zielflug [23.3K]
A conductor is what helps heat or electricity pass through an object. Examples of conductors are, silver, iron, aluminum, etc..

An insulator does the opposite and instead, stops either from going through. Examples of an insulator is paper, wood, rubber, etc.

How many grams of potassium (K) contain 5.11 x 10^22 atoms of potassium?
Darina [25.2K]

The atomic mass of K is 39

from Avogadro's law

39g of K contains 6.02x10^23 atoms

therefore if

39=6.02x19^23

X=5.11×10^22

making X the subject of the formula

X= (5.11×10^22×39)÷6.02×10^23

X= 33g
