<h2>Answer:</h2>
B) endothermic reaction.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.
The water molecules are moving so slow that they end up sticking together to form a solid
We have that all (ideal) gases obey the fundamental gas equation: PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the Volume, n is the number of moles, R is a universal constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin. In this process, we have that both the number of moles and the temperature stays the same. So if we denote by i the initial conditions and by f the final conditions of the gas, we have:
. Hence, if we solve for the final Volume we get:
. Now we know all the other variables; substituting we get that the final volume is 6.7 L (6.716 L ).
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy without being used up in the reaction. After the reaction occurs, a catalyst returns to its original state and so catalysts can be used over and over again.
