Iron(ii) chloride is formed from the reaction between iron and copper(ii) chloride. fe + cucl2 fecl2 + cu if the reactants have hf = –256 kj mol–1 and the products have hf = –321 kj mol–1, which reaction pathway graph would have a similar shape to this reaction?

see figure attached and explanation below.

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation (given):

Fe + CuCl₂ → Cu + FeCl₂

2) ΔHf reactants: -256 kJ/mol (given)

3) ΔHf products: - 321 kJ/mol (given)

4) ΔH reaction = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants = - 321 kJ/mol - (- 256 kJ/mol) = - 65 kJ/mol

5) Conclusion:

i) Since ΔHf of products is less (more negative) than ΔHf of reactants, the reaction is exhotermic: the reaction released energy, which is the reason why the products content less potential energy than the reactants.

ii) Then, the energy diagram is the typical one of an exothermic reaction: the products start a certain potential energy level, the energy incrases until reaching the activation energy (the energy barrier to form the activated complex) and then energy decreases until a level below the energy of the reactants.

iii) See the attached figure with such kind of diagram showing the products at a lower level than the reactans

explanation:

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
