Exothermic reaction is where there is release of energy during a reaction
The enthalpy of exothermic reaction is negative
The relation between energy of products, reactants and enthalpy of reaction is
Enthalpy of reaction = sum of enthalpy of formation of products - sum of enthalpy of formation of reactants
.
As enthalpy of reaction is negative, it means the enthalpy of products is less than the enthalpy of reactants so answer is
:
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.
The given statement, some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur, is true.
Explanation:
Flow of electrons is possible with the help of a conducting medium like metal wire.
A laboratory device which helps in completion of oxidation and reduction-half reactions of a galvanic or voltaic cell is known as salt bridge. Basically, this salt bridge helps in the flow of electrons from anode to cathode and vice-versa.
If salt bridge is not present in an electrochemical cell, the electron neutrality will not be maintained and hence, flow of electrons will not take place.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur, is true.
The answer is NO. During combustion of hydrogen, water is produced as an end product. The chemical formulae for combustion of hydrogen are:
2H2 + O2 -->2 H2O
another advantage is that the whole of the fuel load is combusted hence little wastage. This has made the fuel advantageous in its use as rocket fuel since there is no baggage fuel.
