A hot metal plate at 150°C has been placed in air at room temperature. Which event would most likely take place over the next few minutes? Molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at lower speeds. Molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at higher speeds. The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will slow down, and the molecules in the metal will speed up. The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .
