You are given a compound that has a melting point of 560 C. You dissolve some of the compound in water and measure the pH of the resulting solution to be 11. You are told that the compound is either KCl, Ca(OH)₂, C₆H₁₂O₆, or H₂SO₄. Which of these compounds were you given? Explain.

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.
