Looking at both reactions, we can see that the combustion of carbon, graphite or diamond, leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and energy. Since energy is a product of the reaction, we known that this is an exothermic reaction. The value of the change in enthalpy, ΔH, will be negative.
A negative value of ΔH in each exothermic reaction suggests that the carbon dioxide product is at a lower energy than the reactants. And since more energy is released in the combustion of diamond compared to graphite, we know that diamond has a higher internal energy than graphite.
This
reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
<span>
We are given the amount of water for the electrolysis reaction. This
will be the starting point of our calculation.
45.6 grams H2O (1 mol H2O / 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O) = 1.27 mol O2
V = nRT/P = </span><span>1.27 mol O2 (0.08206 atm L / mol K) (301 K) / 1.24 atm
V = 25.20 L O2</span>
Answer:Evolution
Evolution is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations. … If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).
