PLEEEASS HELTake some time to research a utility plant. If there is one in your area, you may even visit it. Otherwise, look up a type of plant that produces energy - such as a nuclear power plant, a
hydroelectric plant, or a coal-burning plant. Find out what energy resources are brought into the
plant. Then find out what energy and what "waste" is produced by the plant. Describe how the
two Laws of Thermodynamics apply to what you find out in your research. Be thorough. You will
be using the information you gather to engage in a debate with your class about
thermodynamics.

There are four laws of thermodynamics that define fundamental physical quantities (temperature, energy, and entropy) and that characterize thermodynamic systems at thermal equilibrium.

Explanation:

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
