Exothermic reaction is where there is release of energy during a reaction
The enthalpy of exothermic reaction is negative
The relation between energy of products, reactants and enthalpy of reaction is
Enthalpy of reaction = sum of enthalpy of formation of products - sum of enthalpy of formation of reactants
.
As enthalpy of reaction is negative, it means the enthalpy of products is less than the enthalpy of reactants so answer is
:
In an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.
Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.
Answer:
5SiO2 + 2CaC2 ➡ 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2
Explanation:
This question involves balancing the above equation. An equation is said to be BALANCED when all the atoms of each element in the reactant side equates that in the product side.
According to this question, a chemical reaction is given as follows: SiO2 + CaC2 = Si + CaO + CO2. Based on observation, the atoms of elements are Silicon, oxygen, calcium and carbon are not the same on the reactants and products side. Based on this, the balanced equation is:
5SiO2 + 2CaC2 ➡ 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2
Answer:
A) Energy is needed to start photosynthesis and is a product of cellular respiration.
