Consider the chemical equations shown here. P4(s) + 3O2(g) → P4O6(s) ΔH1 = -1,640.1 kJ
P4O10(s) → P4(s) + 5O2(g) ΔH2 = 2,940.1 kJ

What is the overall enthalpy of reaction for the equation shown below?

Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

P4O6(s) + 2O2(g) Right arrow. P4O10(s)

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic 

Answer:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

explanation:

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.

Ithink that the answer is b
