In the formation of potassium chloride, the product, KCl, has less energy than the reactants, K and Cl2. This reaction is .

1 answer:

7 0

if the product has lesser energy than the reactants it means enthalpy change value is positive.so it is endothermic reaction where the heat is absorbed.so kcl will formation will have positive enthalpy change .

C2H5OH( l) + 3O2( g) → 2CO2( g) + 3H2O( l); Δ H = –1.37 × 103 kJ Consider the following propositions: I. The reaction is endothe

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

II. The reaction is exothermic.

III. The enthalpy term would be different if the water formed was gaseous.

Explanation:

For the reaction:

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)

The ΔH is -1.37×10³ kJ. As the change in enthalpy is <0, II. The reaction is exothermic.

The ΔH formation of a compound is different if the chemical is in liquid or gaseous phase. For that reason: III. The enthalpy term would be different if the water formed was gaseous.
