Answer:
A) positive; added
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
2NaHCO3(s) + 129kJ → Na2CO3(s) + H2(g) + CO2(g)
<em>2 moles of NaHCO3 requires 129kJ to produce 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of H2 and 1 mole of CO2.</em>

That means, the energy must be added being, thus, an exothermic reaction. The exothermic reactions have ΔH >0.
Thus, right answer is:
A) positive; added
Answer:
41.9 g
Explanation:
We can calculate the heat released by the water and the heat absorbed by the steel rod using the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
where,
c: specific heat capacity
m: mass
ΔT: change in temperature
If we consider the density of water is 1.00 g/mol, the mass of water is 125 g.
According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the water (Qw) and the heat absorbed by the steel (Qs) is zero.
Qw + Qs = 0
Qw = -Qs
cw × mw × ΔTw = -cs × ms × ΔTs
(4.18 J/g.°C) × 125 g × (21.30°C-22.00°C) = -(0.452J/g.°C) × ms × (21.30°C-2.00°C)
ms = 41.9 g
Answer: Cations are positively charged ions.
Explanation: In cations the number of electrons is not equal to the number of positively charged protons. This is due to reason that cations donates their outer valence electrons making the atom less electronegative. The amount of electrons donated indicates the charge of the cation.
