Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?

Which type of radiation detection device uses a phosphor-coated surface to detect radiation?

andreev551 [17]

In the choices above, the correct letter of the question is letter a, scintillation counter. It is because it uses a phosphor-coated surface in order to use its function in detecting radiation. Its component could produce bright flashes where it will be sufficient in detecting the radiation.

Consider the intermediate chemical reactions. 2 equations. First: upper C a (s) plus upper C upper O subscript 2 (g) plus one ha

DochEvi [55]

<u>Answer:</u> When the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The overall chemical reaction follows:

$CaO(s)+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $Ca(s)+CO_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H_1=-812.8kJ$

(2) $2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)$ $\Delta H_2=-1269kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[\frac{1}{2}\times (-\Delta H_2)]$

Hence, when the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.
