Answer:

An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An ethothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings. Hope this helped.

The easiest way to explain endo and exothermic reactions are that endothermic reactions absorb energy and exothermic reactions release energy.

The way I remember this is that with exothermic reactions, the heat exits. Endothermic is just the opposite.

Hope this helps :)

Bath salts are typically composed of the ingredients listed below. Identify each item as being acidic, basic, or neutral when di

Gwar [14]

Answer:

NaCl neutral

Na₂SO₄ basic

NaHCO₃ basic

K₃PO₄ basic

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ basic

CaCl₂ neutral

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water.

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water

Explanation:

Identify each item as being acidic, basic, or neutral when dissolved in water. If a particular ingredient does make an acidic or basic solution, describe how this occurs.

NaCl

When NaCl is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Na₂SO₄

When Na₂SO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the SO₄²⁻ ion.

SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HSO₄⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

NaHCO₃

When NaHCO₃ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the HCO₃⁻ ion.

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

K₃PO₄

When K₃PO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the PO₄³⁻ ion.

PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ (sodium citrate)

When Na₃C₆H₅O₇ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the C₆H₅O₇³⁻ ion.

C₆H₅O₇³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₆O₇²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

CaCl₂

When CaCl₂ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

Na₂C₂O₄(aq) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

C₂H₂O₄(aq) ⇄ C₂HO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

In the following equation:

Luda [366]

Answer:

FeCl₃

Explanation:

4FeCl₃ + 3O₂ => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂

Given => 7moles 9moles

A simple way to determine which reagent is the limiting reactant is to convert all given data to moles then divide by the respective coefficients of the balanced equation. The smaller value will be the limiting reactant.

4FeCl₃ + 3O₂ => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂

Given => 7/4 = 1.75* 9/3 = 3

*Smaller value => FeCl₃ is limiting reactant.

NOTE: However, when working problems, one must use original mole values given.

If an atom has three shell and number of valence electrons are two. Is this element metal

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Metal

Element: Calcium

Valency: 2

Explanation:

To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)

We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.

Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right

We end up at Calcium.

Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.

Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.

The first law of thermodynamics states that . How is this also a statement of the principle of conservation of energy?

Eddi Din [679]

The answer is a change in internal energy causes work to be done and heat to flow into the system.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a similar version of the law of conservation of energy where the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can be transformed from one form to the other.
It also defines that the work is done and heat flowing into the system is due to the change in internal energy. The sum of all energy including kinetic and potential energy except the displaced energy to the surrounding is known as internal energy.
ΔU represents the change in internal energy of the system, Q represents the net heat transferred into the system, and W represents the net work done by the system. So +ve Q adds energy to the system and =ve W takes energy from the system. Thus ΔU=Q−W.
