How can we justify the conservation of energy using “system/surroundings” terminology

Which statement describes evidence of a chemical reaction? a) ice melting eliminate b) water boiling c) lighting a match d) grape juice freezing

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Which is a characteristic of the electron sea model for metallic bonding? molecular orbitals overlap to produce bands. electrons flow easily between metal nuclei. electrons are in fixed positions in the orbitals. atomic nuclei are arranged in an irregular pattern.
