Styrofoam cups can be used to keep coffee hot and cola cold. How can this be?arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction 3H2(g) + CO2 (g) <=> CH3OH (g) + H2O(g) On the energy diagram, you see two energy curves: with and without catalyst. Chose correct numbers for the following: Energy of the reactant Energy of the products Overall energy of the forward reaction (ΔH) Energy of the transition state without catalyst Activation energy of the forward reaction without catalyst Activation energy of the reverse reaction with catalystarrow_forward
- On an energy diagram of a reaction, the change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is the difference in energy between __________. the reactants and the products the reactants and the transition state the products and the transition state none of these, it is equal to the activation energyarrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the effect of raising the temperature of an exothermic reaction which has not yet reached equilibrium? a The rate of reaction slows and less product is produced b The rate of reaction slows, but more product is produced c The rate of reaction speeds up, but less product is produced d The rate of reaction speeds up and more product is producedarrow_forwardPlease answer questions 1 to 3 1. What is an exothermic reaction? Draw an energy diagram that illustrates an exothermic reaction. 2. Define catalyst. 3. During an experiment where 50.0 mL of a 1.0 M acid solution was mixed with 50.0 mL of a 1.0 M base solution, the temperature change was measured to be 6.5 ℃. If the density of the resulting mixture is 1.10 g/mL, specific heat of the solution is 4.18 J/g℃, and the Cal constant was 12.0 J/℃, what is the ∆Hrxn in kJ/mol acid?arrow_forward
