How is enthalpy used to predict whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?
are ch4 (g): hf = –74.6 kj/mol; co2 (g): hf = –393.5 kj/mol; and h2 o(g): hf = –241.82 kj/mol.
how much heat is released by the combustion of 2 mol of methane?

heat is released by the combustion of of methane

Explanation:

The value of enthalpy determines whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic. If the enthalpy change is positive, then the reaction is endothermic (heat or energy released) and if the enthalpy change is negative then the reaction is exothermic (heat or energy absorbed).

                            =

In this question, the enthalpy of formation has positive value and hence the reaction is endothermic in which the heat is released.

i'm thinking (a) to keep sand in place; ////////////

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.

because they are eaten by the frog and the frog getseaten by the snake and the snake by the eagle
