Of the following elements, which one has the smallest first ionization energy? A. boron
B. carbon
C. aluminum
D. silicon

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .

At the current rate, a graph of carbon dioxide produced by fossil fuels over time would slope upward slope downward be horizontal be vertical

The reaction below shows a system in equilibrium. how would a decrease in temperature affect this reaction? a. the rate of formation of the gases would increase. b. the equilibrium of the reaction would shift to the left. c. the equilibrium would shift to cause the gases to sublime into solids. d. the chemicals on the left would quickly form the chemical on the right.
