Answer:
The reaction is exothermic (option 4)
Explanation:
P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal
In chemical reactions heat can be absorbed or released:
⇒in the first case, when heat is absorbed, this is called an endothermic reaction. The products have more energy than the reactants. The reaction requires or absorbs energy from it's surroundings. That means that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be absorbed by the reactants.
⇒ when heat is released, this is called an exothermic reaction. The reactants have more energy than the products. The reaction gives or releases energy to it's surroundings. That means that in this reaction energy , in the form of heat, will be released by the reactants.
in the case of P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 + 712 kcal
We notice that on the right side, which is the product side, there is a positive amount of energy. This means that the energy is released by the the reactants, in this reaction. <u>The reaction is exothermic.</u>

Answer: pure substances.
Explanation:
The given substances are:
All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.
Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in any arbitratry ratio.
Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.
Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).
There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.
Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.
