It is exothermic because heat needs to be released by the reactants to form the products.

<h3>Splitting of water molecules</h3>

Water molecule is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. That is H2O.

An exothermic reaction is the reaction in which energy, in the form of heat, is released into the environment. Some examples of exothermic reaction are:

  • Splitting of water molecules

  • Rusting of iron and

  • Burning of sugar.

Splitting of water molecule involves a process called thermal dissociation reaction which uses high temperature to split water molecules into its two components such as hydrogen and oxygen.

Here, the reactants absorbs the heat which is needed to form the products.

Use pv=nrT


where p is the pressure,
v is the volume,
n is the number of mole (which can be equal to mass /mr),
T is the temperature in kelvin,
and r is (molar constant) = 8.31 (units)

What is an example of kinetic energy? Question 7 options: A frisbee flying through the air A car in the garage A box sitting on
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Kinetic energy is energy that comes from motion. Anything that is currently in motion has kinetic energy.

Let’s look at each example to determine if they have kinetic energy.

First off, a car in the garage: let’s ask ourselves- Is the car in motion?
No, it is sitting in the garage. It is not moving; therefore it doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Next, a box sitting on a shelf: let’s ask ourselves the same question- Is the box in motion?
No, it is sitting on the shelf. Again, it is not moving. It doesn’t have any kinetic energy.

Our third item is a ball lodged in a tree: again, we will ask ourselves the same question- Is the object moving?
No, it isn’t moving. Again, since it is not moving, it will not have kinetic energy.

Our last item is a frisbee flying through the air: asking ourselves the same question- Is it moving?
Yes, the object is moving. Yes, it has kinetic energy.

The frisbee flying through the air has kinetic energy.
