Answer:
Explanation:
The carbon dioxide gas that was generated during this reaction was collected at 295K and 125 kPa. If 43.2 L of carbon dioxidegas
was collected, how many grams of glucose (molar mass 180.155 g/mol) were used in this reaction?

A reaction is exothermic if Δ<em>H</em> (or in some textbooks) is negative:
- H₂ + Br → 2 HBr, ΔH < 0.
- CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O, ΔH < 0.
A reaction is endothermic if Δ<em>H</em> is positive:
- 2 NH₃ → N₂ + 3 H₂, ΔH > 0.
- 2 HCl → H₂ + Cl₂ ΔH > 0.
The enthalpy of a system is the sum of its internal energy. ΔH < 0 indicates that the reactants lose internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves, and those internal energies must have converted to some other form of energy. They typically end up as thermal energy. The reaction will release heat since it is exothermic.
Similarly, ΔH > 0 indicates that the reactants gains internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves. As a result, the reaction must have gained energy from its surroundings. The reaction will be endothermic since it absorbs heat.
