Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When two different compounds combine to result in the formation of a new compound then this type of reaction is known as synthesis reaction.

On the other hand, when a compound decomposes to result in the formation of different compounds then it is known as decomposition reaction.

Therefore, the chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows.

       MgCO_{3} + HNO_{3} \rightarrow MgNO_{3} + H_{2}CO_{3}

       H_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow H_{2}O + CO_{2}

Thus, we can see that carbonic acid dissociates to give water and carbon dioxide. Both water and carbon dioxide are compound.

Hence, we can conclude that it is a decomposition reaction; carbonic acid breaks down into two simpler compounds.

Answer:

The answer is "82.2 torr"

Explanation:

moles of Xe:

= \frac{0.06}{131.293} \\\\ =0.00045699313 \ \mol

moles of F_2:

= \frac{0.0274}{38} \\\\= 0.00072105263\ \  mol

moles of produced XeF_2:

= 0.00024

moles of left Xe:

= 0.00021

Calculate the Pressure:

= \frac{(0.08206\times 0.00024 \times 293)}{(.1)}   + \frac{(0.08206\times  0.00021 \times  293)}{(.1)} \\\\= 0.10819611 \ \ atm \\\\ = 0.10819611 \times  760 \\\\ = 82.2 \ \ torr

A. a large amount of energy released into its surrounding

During the respiration, glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a series of steps. They finally end up as as carbon-dioxide and water.

The overall reaction is

<span>C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 2805 kJ
</span>
The reaction is exothermic reaction because <span>C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
</span>
Bond energy is the average needed to break a bond.

Some bond energies are:
C-C = 347 kJ/mol
C-H = 413kJ/mol;
C-O = 358 kJ/mol;
O-H = 467 kJ/mol;
O=O = 495 kJ/mol;
<span>C=O = 799 kJ/mol</span>
