If chemicals for an endothermic reaction are added to water, the water's temperature drops (the water gets colder! Ever use a first aid "cold pack", where you squeeze a pouch to release chemicals inside and the pouch becomes ice cold? That's an endothermic reaction!) For endothermic reactions, when you use the equation Q = m x C x (delta T), the "Q" is a negative number because the water LOSES energy. The answer is negative because the water temperature drops, the CHANGE registered on the thermometer is negative. Type a negative number to answer this question: if your water starts at 19 degrees Celsius, and a couple of minutes after adding chemicals the water temperature becomes 15 degrees, the value of "delta T" is degrees Celsius. *arrow_forwardFor the equation H20 (g) --> H20 (1) answer the following questions: Q1) Is it endothermic or exothermic?

- Which of the following correctly explains why the vapor pressure of water has to be included in the calculations? Some of the liquid water evaporates into the gas, and increases the total pressure generated by the trapped gas. As the H2(g) is bubbled up the reaction solution, some of the H2(g) molecules are solubilized by water in the aqueous solution, effectively decreasing the measured pressure above. The pressure contributed by the H2(g) is greater than the measured total pressure because of the contribution of partial pressure of water vapor. The pressure exerted by the evolved H2(g) is reduced because of the co-presence of water vapor, thus Pwater vapor has to be added to Pdry gas.

Use this information to determine the number of metric tons of CO2 emitted annually by (a) the car described in Question 1 with a low fuel efficiency, (b) a fleet of 250 million vehicles with this same fuel efficiency, (c) the car described in Question 2 with a high fuel efficiency, and (d) a fleet of 250 million vehicles with this same high fuel efficiency. These calculations provide a rough estimate ofthe CO2 footprints for individual cars and for the entire U.S. fleet with low and high efficiency cars. (Note: 1 kilogram= 2.20 pounds; 1 metric ton = 1,000 kilo grams = 2,200 pounds = 1.1 tons; 1 ton [H11005] 2,000 pounds).arrow_forward
