Light is one form of energy that travels in electromagnetic waves. This energy is both magnetic and electrical. There are many different types of electromagnetic (EM) waves.
Answer:
The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century.
The basic steps of the scientific method are:
1) investigation
2) hypothesis
3) interpretation
4) conclusions
Answer:
-177.9 kJ.
Explanation:
Use Hess's law. Ca(s) + CO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → CaCO3(s) ΔH = -812.8 kJ 2Ca(s) + O2(g) → 2CaO(s) ΔH = -1269.8 kJ We need to get rid of the Ca and O2 in the equations, so we need to change the equations so that they're on both sides so they "cancel" out, similar to a system of equations. I changed the second equation. Ca(s) + CO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) → CaCO3(s) ΔH = -812.8 kJ 2CaO(s) → 2Ca(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +1269.8 kJ The sign changes in the second equation above since the reaction changed direction. Next, we need to multiply the first equation by two in order to get the coefficients of the Ca and O2 to match those in the second equation. We also multiply the enthalpy of the first equation by 2. 2Ca(s) + 2CO2(g) + O2(g) → 2CaCO3(s) ΔH = -1625.6 kJ 2CaO(s) → 2Ca(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +1269.8 kJ Now we add the two equations. The O2 and 2Ca "cancel" since they're on opposite sides of the arrow. Think of it more mathematically. We add the two enthalpies and get 2CaO(s) + 2CO2(g) → 2CaCO3(s) and ΔH = -355.8 kJ. Finally divide by two to get the given equation: CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) and ΔH = -177.9 kJ.
