The decomposition reaction of co2(g) to produce carbon and oxygen gas consumes 462 kj of energy. the energy levels of the products are than the energy level of the reactant, and the heat appears on the side of the equation.

higher, left

Explanation:

Given that the reaction consumes 462 kJ of energy. It means that the reaction is a endothermic reaction.

In the energy profile of the endothermic diagrams, The reactants are at a very low level as compared to the products and hence, energy is supplied to overcome this difference.

Hence, The energy levels of products are higher than the energy level of reactant.

Hence, already stated, heat is required by the reaction and thus heat is written to the reactant side which is to the left side of the equation.

beta decay is the answer

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
