Why does methanol show an exothermic reaction with water at room temperature while it gives an endothermic reaction with water in cold conditions?
Methanol does not react with water. Mixing them is exothermic.
What equation show exothermic reaction?
Hf, reactants > Hf, products
What are exothermic and endothemic reaction?
And endothermic (if that's what you meant) reaction is one that requires heat to proceed. The system absorbs the heat in order to progress.We show no listings for "endothemic" though.
What happens to the temperature of a substance that is an endothermic reaction?
It will decrease as heat is removed from the environment and added to the products of the reaction.
What is the balanced equation of phosphorus trichloride reacting with chlorine?
show you the balance reaction between water and phsphorous trichloride show you the balance reaction between water and phsphorous trichloride show you the balance reaction between water and phsphorous trichloride
What information does an energy diagram give?
It shows whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
To show the rusting of iron?
Rusting of iron is an oxidation reaction in the presence of water.
How would you write the equation to show water evaporation?
Evaporation is not a chemical reaction.
What do half-reaction show?
They show the oxidation an reduction half's of a reaction seperately
How do fireworks demonstrate the transformation of energy?
The energy transformation during fireworks show are, fireworks convert chemical energy into light and sound energy.
How do you show that propane contains hydrogen?
Combustion reaction of propane gives carbon-dioxide and water. Water gives the result that propane contains hydrogen.
What do half reactions show?
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
