Chemistry

An exothermic reaction is one which is accompanied by the release of heat energy.

In the given situation, hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water along with the generation of heat.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O + heat

Based on the law of conservation of energy: 'energy can be neither created nor destroyed". This implies that whatever energy is released must have been present in the reactants. Therefore, the reactants must be in a higher energy level than products.

If the reaction shown below is exothermic, the energy level of the reactants is higher than products.

Write a letter to your friend describing your feelings after you left the school
fredd [130]
Dear friend,
How are you doing? I finally switched to my new school and it's been so hard adjusting. But I know I have a new chance at making new friends and memories. Also, I can learn new things, like interacting with new people and how to keep my anxiety low. I really miss us hanging out and how much we'd laugh and get in trouble at class. But i really hope to see you soon & that it hasn't gone terribly wrong for you since i left.
your friend,

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>
