Please help. Why does the temperature change when a powder is dissolved in water?

Answer:

In order for the powder to dissolve, each powder molecule must separate from the other powder molecules and be surrounded by water molecules. This shift in arrangement either absorbs or releases energy depending on the situation. It is due to the exchange of energy that the temperature of the solution fluctuates.

FLOOR. Most of the molecules that dont sick to something fall on the floor so most would be on the FLOOR.

Throughout the reflection, make sure you have a copy of the Student Guide and your data tables. Fill in the terms

gregori [183]

Answer:

Convection, and boundaries

Explanation:

In this lab, you modeled how plates move. The plates that make up Earth’s lithosphere move because of convection . You also saw how plates interact with each other. The interactions between plates form plate boundaries of which there are three main types.

What is the total energy change for the following reaction:CO+H2O-CO2+H2

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

Balanced equation: CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⟶ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)

We can calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)$

(a) Enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{$\Delta_{\text{f}}$H/(kJ/mol}) \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O} & -241.8\\\text{CO$_{2}$(g)} & -393.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$(g)} & 0 \\\end{array}$

(b) Total enthalpies of reactants and products

$\begin{array}{ccr}\textbf{Substance} & \textbf{Contribution)/(kJ/mol})&\textbf{Sum} \\\text{CO(g)} & -110.5& -110.5 \\\text{H$_{2}$O(g)} &-241.8& -241.8\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for reactants} &\mathbf{ -352.3}\\&&\\\text{CO}_{2}(g) & -393.5&-393.5 \\\text{H}_{2} & 0 & 0\\\textbf{Total}&\textbf{for products} & \mathbf{-393.5}\end{array}$

(c) Enthalpy of reaction $\Delta_{\text{rxn}}H^{\circ} = \sum \left( \Delta_{\text{f}} H^{\circ} \text{products}\right) - \sum \left (\Delta_{\text{f}}H^{\circ} \text{reactants} \right)= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol - (-352.3 kJ/mol}\\= \text{-393.5 kJ/mol + 352.3 kJ/mol} = \textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}\\ \text{The total enthalpy change is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-41.2 kJ/mol}}$}$
