1) What piece of lab equipment would you use if you needed to transfer a small amount of solid into a piece of glassware?

Scoopula

Explanation:

For transfer of small solids to a piece of glassware, we will use Scoopula because it is a scoop utensil in the form of a spatula used mainly used in chemistry laboratory to transfer solids: to a weigh paper for the solids to be weighed; to a cover slip for measurement of the solids melting point; to a graduated cylinder; to a watch glass from a flask or even beaker through scraping.

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.
