Calcium phosphide is used in fireworks, torpedoes, self-igniting naval pyrotechnic flares, and various water-activated ammunitions. The reaction of calcium phosphide is represented by the following equation: Ca3P2(s) + 6H2O(1) → 3Ca(OH)2(s) + 2PH; (g)A,H = -717.4kJ When 5.0 g of calcium phosphide is placed into 150 mL of calorimeter water, it is expected that the calorimeter water will: Select one: decrease in temperature because this is an endothermic reaction. decrease in temperature because this is an exothermic reaction. increase in temperature because this is an exothermic reaction. O increase in temperature because this is an endothermic reaction.

Calcium phosphide is used in fireworks, torpedoes, self-igniting naval pyrotechnic flares, and various water-activated
ammunitions. The reaction of calcium phosphide is represented by the following equation:
Caz P2 (s) + 6H2O(1) → 3Ca(OH)2(s) + 2PH;(g)A,H = -717.4kJ
When 5.0 g of calcium phosphide is placed into 150 mL of calorimeter water, it is expected that the calorimeter water will:
Select one:
O decrease in temperature because this is an endothermic reaction.
decrease in temperature because this is an exothermic reaction.
increase in temperature because this is an exothermic reaction.
increase in temperature because this is an endothermic reaction.
