A the reaction of nitrogen with oxygen in a car engine B the oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide C the combustion of ethanol in air D the reaction of magnesium with dilute sulphuric acid 2 The formation of hydrogen bromide from hydrogen and bromine is an exothermic reaction. H H + Br Br H Br + H Br What may be deduced from this information? A The number of bonds broken is less than the number of bonds formed. B Energy is given out in breaking H H and Br Br bonds. C The H Br bonds are weaker than the H H and Br Br bonds. D The total energy change in bond formation is greater than that in bond breaking. 3 The reaction scheme shows how paraffin wax (C40H82) is converted into carbon dioxide and water in four stages. Which stages are exothermic? A I and II B I, II and III C III and IV D I and IV 4 When solid potassium iodide is added to water, the temperature of the liquid decreases.
