Copper is a metal that is used for many purposes. it is mined from the earth using various methods. though the amount of copper in the earth's crust is very large, if the mining of copper continues, it will eventually run out. jim thinks that conserving copper is important, and says that the best way to do this would be to stop all copper mining at once. is there a problem with this solution? a. no, it is a good solution as any. b. yes, there is no need to conserve copper. c. no, we must conserve copper no matter what. d. yes, the need to conserve copper must be balanced with use

Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we use an object or substance in excess then it is likely that the substance will run out with time. But at the same time, if we use that substance according to its requirement and try to conserve it as much as we can then we can preserve the substance.

Hence, it is good to avoid wastage of a substance and balance its use according to the need.

Therefore, we can conclude that in the given situation yes, there is a problem with the solution as the need to conserve copper must be balanced with use.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
