State the type of reaction
1. 2PbO2 --≥ 2PbO
2. 2Fe + 3Cl2 --≥ 2FeCl3

Please and thank you!

The bottom is a single reaction. The top reaction makes no sense. 1st law of thermodynamics cannot be violated by the loss of half of the oxygen. On the reactant side there are 4 oxygens with only 2 on the product side. I’d be asking your instructor what happened to the rest.

Explanation:

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
