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.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.

i believe your answer would be c.. : )
