The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction.
<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
In a galvanic cell, energy is produced by spontaneous chemical processes.
The cathode and anode of this cell will depend on the relative position of the two metals in the electrochemical series.
Aluminium is higher in the electrochemical series so aluminium will be the anode. Silver is lower in the electrochemical series so silver will be the cathode.
Recall that oxidation (electron loss) occurs at the anode while reduction (electron gain) occurs at the cathode.
<span>Baking a cake is an example of making something where the ingredients must be in fixed ratios. Recipes call for specific ratios of ingredients in order to cook properly, and when a recipe for a cake is modified to feed greater or fewer people the ratio remains the same as the original recipe.</span>
