Answer: Energy of reactants = 30, Energy of products = 10
Exothermic
Activation energy for forward reaction is 10.
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and
for the reaction comes out to be negative.
Energy of reactants = 30
Energy of products = 10
Thus as energy of the product < energy of the reactant, the reaction is exothermic.
Activation energy
is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.
for forward reaction is (40-30) = 10.
We can explain this in a molecular level. We know that the difference between a gas and a liquid of the same composition is how fast their molecules are moving. So given a gas, their molecules are farther and faster when moving, but when they are cooled their bulk kinetic energy decreases. In other words their molecules start to move closer and move slower until it behaves more like a liquid molecule. This is the time when gases condense.
Answer: For 1 mole of a single atom it is equal to its molar mass. And a single atom, 1 mole is equal to the Avogadro's Number.
Explanation: The relationship can be expressed through the following:
1 mole = molar mass of an atom/ compound
1 atom x 1 mole / 6.022x10^23 atoms
