Suppose the mass of a jelly bean is less than the mass of a gum drop. if you counted out 10 of each kind of candy and measured the mass of each kind of candy, the mass of the jellybeans would be less than the mass of the gumdrops. more than the mass of the gumdrops. the same as the mass of the gumdrops. hard to determine based on the information given.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the mass of a jelly bean is less than the mass of a gum drop.

So, when we counted out 10 of each kind of candy and measured the mass of each kind of candy, the mass of the jellybeans would be less than the mass of the gumdrops.

This is because mass of jelly bean is less and even if we take take or more jelly beans then also their total mass will remain less than the total mass of same number of gum drops.

A

Explanation:

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
