A chemical reaction is carried out in a closed container. The energy absorbed by the chemical reaction is 150 kJ.

How much energy moves inward from the air or the walls of the container?

A. 75 kJ

B. 100 kJ

C. 150 kJ

D. 200 kJ

The correct answer is 150 kJ.

Explanation:

As per Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change from one form to another.

If a chemical reaction absorbs 150 kJ and all the energy that is being absorbed is neither created nor destroyed, then it means all the energy absorbed comes from the surroundings (Air, wall of container etc).

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
