Answer: A. Exothermic reaction
Explanation: Enthalpy change for a reaction is sum of enthalpy of formation of products minus sum of enthalpy of formation of reactants.
When the energy level of reactants is above as compared to the products, the reaction is exothermic and when its opposite then reaction is endothermic.
From given information, the potential energy diagram starts at 380 kJ means the energy level of reactants is 380 kJ. It ends at 100 kJ means the energy of products is 100 kJ.
Enthalpy of reaction = 100 kJ - 380 kJ
Enthalpy of reaction = -280 kJ
Negative sign of enthalpy change indicates an Exothermic reaction.
Answer:
One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.
Explanation:
During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.
Answer:
= 374.90 kPa
Calculation:
As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,
1 atm = 101.325 kPa
So,
3.70 atm = X
Solving for X,
X = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm
X = 374.90 kPa
Answer:
The charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a complete octet of valence shell electrons
Explanation:
A charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a valence shell that is not filled, <u>that's why it acts as an electrophile (or a Lewis base)</u>. This unfilled valence shell is also the reason of the nucleophilic attack that takes place during the second step of a SN1 reaction.
