What type of energy is in a endothermic reaction?
In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed and converted into chemical energy. Heat is the sum of molecular kinetic energy in a sample, so kinetic energy is converted into chemical energy. Note that temperature is a measure of heat, and is not a type of energy in itself.
Why are balloons filled with helium and not hydrogen?
If you buy a balloon from a vendor, it’s probably filled with helium. This is because helium is less dense. Because helium is lighter that air, a helium balloon rises, just as an air bubble rises in more dense water. Hydrogen is another gas lighter than air; it’s even lighter than helium.
What is fusion endothermic process?
Nuclear fusion occurs when the nuclei of lighter elements are crushed together to form heavier elements. For lighter elements, fusion reactions produce energy, like the energy that powers the sun. These are called endothermic reactions.
How do you know if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic without delta H?
If the energy level of the reactants is higher than the energy level of the products the reaction is exothermic (energy has been released during the reaction). If the energy level of the products is higher than the energy level of the reactants it is an endothermic reaction.
Is sublimation endothermic or exothermic?
Phases and Phase Transitions
| Phase Transition | Direction of ΔH |
|---|---|
| Sublimation (solid to gas) | ΔH>0; enthalpy increases (endothermic process) |
| Freezing (liquid to solid) | ΔH<0; enthalpy decreases (exothermic process) |
| Condensation (gas to liquid) | ΔH<0; enthalpy decreases (exothermic process) |
Can helium burn your skin?
Helium is an inert gas that is not harmful to the environment or to humans. However, asphyxiation can result from its use in an oxygen-poor environment, and liquid helium is cold enough to “burn” human skin.
Is helium as flammable as hydrogen?
While helium is not as light as hydrogen, it is inert and non-flammable (unlike hydrogen, which is highly flammable). For this reason, helium is used to inflate party and meteorological balloons as they will rise in air.
