Answer:

It is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the products are formed

Explanation:

A reaction may be endothermic or exothermic. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed by the process while in an exothermic process energy is given out by the process.

Recall that the enthalpy change of a reaction = enthalpy of products - enthalpy of reactants

Hence, where the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the products are formed, the reaction is endothermic.

For an endothermic reaction, the enthalpy change of the reaction is positive.

In this case, enthalpy of reaction = 920 - (-750) = 1670 kJ/mol

Explain why a solution has a lower boiling point than the pure solvent

KonstantinChe [14]

Because the intention is to boil the solution, the purpose of the solvent is to dissolve so it has a higher boiling point so ensure it stays in liquid form and doesn't evaporate into a gas

also, a pure solvent is made of 1 substance so it has 1 boiling point and the solution must evaporate/boil first

In this task, you’ll observe a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water. write a hypothesis to predict the rel

Archy [21]

Answer:

Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;

NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)

The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.

We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.

We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'

If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.
