Which of the following definitions best describes a parallel of latitude? a--A line that is drawn horizontally around the earth and is parallel to the Prime Meridian.

b---A line that is drawn vertically down the earth and is parallel to the equator.

c--A line that is drawn vertically down the earth and is parallel to the Prime Meridian.

d--A line that is drawn horizontally around the earth and is parallel to the equator.

answer: the enthalpy of the overall chemical reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

according to hess's law, the overall enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of enthalpy values of all the products and the sum of enthalpy values of all the reactants.

δh(reaction) = ∑nδh(products) - ∑nδh(reactants)

δh(reaction) = [δh +δh] - [δh]

δh(reaction) = [1(-287.02) + 1(0) ] - [1(-374.9)] kj = +87.88 kj

here, δh (pcl3) = -287.02 kj, δh(cl2) = 0, δh(pcl5) = -374.9 kj

therefore, enthalpy of the overall reaction is +87.88 kj or +88 kj.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
