Short Answer

 

                  21.  The heats of reaction during the exothermic formation of Al2O3 and CO2 are -1676 kJ/mol and -394 kJ/mol, respectively. On the basis of this information, which of the two compounds is likely to be more stable?

 

                  22.  Although electricity is often the most convenient form of energy to use, it is almost never the most efficient overall. Why?

 

                  23.  When energy is wasted during an industrial process, what actually happens to that energy?

 

                  24.  Explain why industrial processes can never be 100 percent efficient, in spite of the fact that energy is conserved in all processes.
