Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Wasting household water does not ultimately remove that water from the global water cycle, but it does remove it from the portion of the water cycle that is readily accessible and usable by humans. Also, "wasting" water wastes the energy and resources that were used to process and deliver the water.

Answer:

I feel like there should be more parts to this question but I think it depends on how you got your water. If you waste water after you got it from a local stream yourself, you wasted your body energy but no real electricity of any kind. If the water is processed and filtered and you end up wasting it, I guess it counts as energy being wasted too? Because the sole purpose was to bring you clean water but you didn't utilize it

Given that ΔH = −571.6 kJ/mol for the reaction 2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(l), calculate ΔH for these reactions. (a) 2 H2O(l) → 2 H2

Answer : The value of $\Delta H$ for the reaction is +571.6 kJ/mole.

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction is,

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$ $\Delta H_1=-571.6kJ/mole$
