Measurements show that the enthalpy of a mixture of gaseous reactants decreases by 162. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that -194. kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change in energy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Round your answer to 3 significant digits

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
