Question

Which set contains non-equivalent members?A) enthalpy and heat contentB) endothermic reaction and +HC) exothermic reaction and -HD) kinetic energy and energy of motionE) high energy and high stability

Answer 1

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Here in this question, what we will do is to select which of the pairs that do not correlate.

A. Enthalpy and heat content

This two terms are at par with each other. By definition, the enthalpy of a system simply is the total amount of heat content it has.

B. Endothermic reaction and +H

These two terms are at par with each other. An endothermic reaction is one in which heat is absorbed from the surroundings. It has a positive value for the heat content i.e the enthalpy is positive and thus H is positive.

C. Exothermic reaction and -H

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. It usually has a negative value for the enthalpy and thus the value of H is negative.

D. High energy and High Stability

These two terms are not at par. When an entity has or is of high energy, it is usually unstable. An entity at a higher energy level will not be stable until it goes to a lower level of energy.

Thus higher energy level is associated with lesser stability while lower energy levels are associated with higher stability. The lesser the energy of an entity, the higher its stability.

This makes the option our answer.
