Explanation:
When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.
Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.
The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity that describes the heat content of a system, that can not be measured directly. That's why we measure change in enthaply, measured in the units joules. The statement that e<span>nthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled is false. Enthalpy change depends only on the following factors:

- quantity of reactants</span><span>
- allotropic modifications
- temperature and pressure</span><span>

#b
According to Le C ha.te llors principle of we increase concentration of reactants or products equilibrium shifts.
#c
- Rate of reaction also increases
