Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.

If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that

i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur

ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive

For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.

What is the change in boiling point for a 0.615m solution of Mgl2 in water?

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer : The change in boiling point is, $0.94^oC$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\Delta T_b=i\times K_f\times m$

where,

$\Delta T_b$ = change in boiling point = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 3 (for MgI₂ electrolyte)

$K_f$ = boiling point constant for water = $0.51^oC/m$

m = molality = 0.615 m

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$\Delta T_b=3\times (0.51^oC/m)\times 0.615m$

$\Delta T_b=0.94^oC$

Therefore, the change in boiling point is, $0.94^oC$

What is the difference between alkali metals and halogens?

Airida [17]

<h3>→soft and reactive metals. </h3>

Explanation:

<h3>Alkali metals are soft and reactive metals. They react vigorously with water and become more reactive. And other hand halogens are reactive non metals. ... Halogens can be solid, liquid, gaseous at room temperature and the melting point increase when they get bigger.</h3>

Determine the enthalpy change when 23.5 g of carbon is reacted with oxygen according to the reaction C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g) delta H

xeze [42]

We are provided with the amount of energy released when one mole of carbon reacts. We mus first convert the given mass of carbon to moles and then compute the energy released for the given amount.

Moles = mass / atomic mass
Moles = 23.5 / 12
Moles = 1.96 moles

One mole releases 394 kJ/mol
1.96 moles will release:
394*1.96
= 772.24

The enthalpy change of the reaction will be -772.24 kJ
