Answer:
weak bonds break and strong bonds form
Explanation:
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat energy is evolved during the reaction process.
Bond formation requires energy while bond breakage releases energy. More energy is needed for the formation of weak bonds as compared to strong bonds.
<em>Hence, when weak bonds break, they release more energy than needed to make a corresponding strong bond leading to the release of the remaining energy as heat.</em>
Hello
The balance chemical reaction is 2Al + 6HCl -à 2AlCl3 + 3H2 Assuming excess amount of HCl because it is not given Mole Al reacted = 13.5 g ( 1 mole/ 27 g) = 0.5 mole Al
Mole H2 = 0.5 mol Al ( 3 mole H2 / 2 mole Al) = 0.75 mole H2
since at STP then 1 mole gas occupies 22.414 L volume H2 = 0.75 mole (22.414 L / mol) = 16.8105 L H2
Have a nice day
