Answer:
Zn(s) + Fe(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + Fe(s)
Explanation:
When metal zinc is added to an iron (II) nitrate solution, we can see the following redox reaction:
Zn(s) + Fe(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + Fe(s)
Zinc is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from 0 to +2.
Iron is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +2 to 0.
Exothermic change. Because the firework when it exploded, released energy in the form of light. In exothermic changes energy is released, and in endothermic changes energy is absorbed.
- This wouldn't be a physical change, but instead a chemical change. A clue that it is a chemical change is that energy was given off.
No, The kinetic energy depends upon the number of particles motion. The hot bowl of soup will have greater number of particles in motion and it will contain more kinetic energy than the cup of soup.
