@undeadknight26

OpenStudy (aaronq):

a subscript indicates the number of atoms of that element

OpenStudy (aaronq):

\(O_{number~of~atoms}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a..?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

what element is O?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oxygen

OpenStudy (aaronq):

do you now know the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c

OpenStudy (aaronq):

indeed it is.

Gerald's science teacher mixed room temperature samples of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in a large beaker. The solution still looked clear like water, but when the students carefully touched the beaker one at a time, it felt warm to the touch. Why did the beaker most likely feel warm? A:The two liquids were not soluble in water. B:A chemical reaction was producing a new substance. C:The energy of mixing warmed the solution. D:The release of a gas heated the solution.

@aaronq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think d maybe

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Acids and bases react to neutralize each other, the reaction is exothermic which means that it releases heat as a result.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d..?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

nope, it's c. It's hard to explain why if you don't have a strong chemistry background though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was b

OpenStudy (aaronq):

weird, thats not entirely correct. I still think c is a better answer
