Answer:

D. Exothermic because energy is a product

Explanation:

ENDOTHERMIC REACTION: A chemical reaction is considered endothermic if the energy is absorbed during the reaction. In other words, if the energy is required by the reactants to proceed with the reaction, then the reaction is endothermic.

EXOTHERMIC REACTION: A chemical reaction is considered exothermic if the energy is released during the reaction. In other words, if the energy is produced as a product of the reaction, then the reaction is exothermic.

Hence, the correct answer for this question will be:

D. Exothermic because energy is a product

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$
