For the cold pack shown below, the temperature on the outside surface has dropped considerably from its initial temperature of 25 °C. Which of the following provides the best explanation for this temperature decrease?

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

In an endothermic process, energy travels from the surroundings into the system. The decrease in the temperature on the outside of the bag indicates that energy has moved from the surroundings into the system.

The other answers are incorrect. A bag cannot release “cold” into the surroundings since cold refers to the absence of heat. The surroundings become colder when heat is removed. Option B is incorrect because the cooling is due to the cold pack absorbing heat energy from its surroundings. Option C is incorrect because a cold pack absorbs heat energy from the surroundings, not vice versa.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
