Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Chemical Reactions:
X=A⇌B,ΔG= 14.8 kJ/mol
Y=B⇌C,ΔG= -29.7 kJ/mol
Z=C⇌D,ΔG= 8.10 kJ/mol
Since
Hess Law
The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is independent of the number of steps taken.
Therefore
Generally the equation for the Reaction is mathematically given by

Therefore the free energy, ΔG is



The minerals that one might be examining if you place some hydrochloric acid on a sample and it fizzes are Calcite and Dolomite.
Calcite and dolomite are very similar minerals. Both have the same hardness, the same rhombohedral cleavage, and are found in identical geologic settings. The best way to tell one from the other is the acid test; A drop of 1 M HCl on calcite produces an instant , obvious Fizz; a drop on dolomite produces slow or no obvious bubbling.
5 Na molecules and 5 Cl molecules
Explanation:
The <u>First Law of Thermodynamics</u> states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.
<u>Conduction</u> is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.
When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.
