First, we determine the energy released by the reaction using the heat capacity and change in temperature as such:
Q = cΔT
Q = 32.16 * 0.42
Q = 13.51 kJ
Next, we determine the moles of ammonia formed as the heat of formation is expressed in "per mole".
Moles = mass / molecular weight
Moles = 5/17
Moles = 0.294
Heat of formation = 13.51 / 0.294
The heat of formation of ammonia is 45.95 kJ/mol
Answer:
The activation energy
Explanation:
The activation energy is the energy hump that lies between reactants and products. It is the energy barrier that reactants must cross before they are converted into products.
Based on the collision theory, only particles that possess the activation energy are able to collide in such a way that leads to reaction.
Collision of particles having an energy content less than the activation energy of the reaction merely leads to elastic collision between such particles.
Chlorine is a halogen and is very reactive and unstable. If released in an elemental form (Cl2), it would react with other substances immediately. However, <span>chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which contain chlorine are unreactive and when released they eventually end up in the upper atmosphere still "intact". In the upper atmosphere, sunlight is more intense and is able to break apart CFC, releasing the highly reactive chlorine which in turns destroys ozone which is more abundant in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere). </span>
A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Answer:
=C₄H₄O₂
Explanation:
Given the empirical formula of a molecule, the he the quotient of the molecular mas and and the empirical mass=constant.
84.0 g/mol/mass of(C₂H₂O)=constant
=84/(12×2+1×2×16)
=84/42
=2
Therefore, the molecular formula is (C₂H₂O)₂=C₄H₄O₂
