The reaction between concentrated acid and water can release a lot of heat. If a little water is added to a larger amount of acid, the heat can cause the small amount of water to boil very rapidly which then spatters some acid. ... It is recommended that acid should be added to water and not water to acid.
<u>Answer:</u> The above reaction is non-spontaneous.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given chemical reaction:

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.
We know that:

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.
To calculate the
of the reaction, we use the equation:


Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.
Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.

Answer:
Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests.
