Chemistry. More specifically, analytical chemistry.
The enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction is negative because heat is being released, so that takes out two of the responses. Since energy is being released into the surroundings due to the exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. Energy is being put in to make the reaction occur, but then that energy is all being released into the surroundings thus a lower potential energy level for the products
Answer:
V ∝ abc
Explanation:
This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:
Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.
Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.
In this exercise:
If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc
Taking the above three proportionalities,
V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c
V ∝ a ∝ bc
V ∝ abc
