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.
Electrons are responsible for the transfer of charge.
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:
pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19
The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.
Explanation:
Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that can't be broken down chemically. Molecules are groups of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more of their valence electrons and therefore have a net positive or negative charge.
