1) To find the change in enthalpy, determine the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants. (on this diagram, C-A) To find the activation energy, find the difference between the potential energy of the reactants and the "peak" of the curve (on this diagram, B-A). For this diagram, both the enthalpy and activation energy are positive.
2) If the reaction was exothermic, enthalpy would be negative, and the potential energy of the reactants would be greater than the potential energy of the products.
A total lunar eclipse takes place when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and covers the Moon with its shadow. When this happens, the Moon can turn red, earning it the nickname of Blood Moon.
Answer:
<em>D</em><em>.</em><em>They have properties similar to those of their component elements.</em><em> </em>
Explanation:
When elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are made of .
