A reaction occurs in which carbon combines with sulfur to form carbon disulfide. Is this a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction, and how do you
know?
A. This is a nuclear reaction, because mass was conserved.
B. This is a chemical reaction, because only the electrons were
rearranged.
C. This is a nuclear reaction, because there was a change in the
atoms' nuclei.
D. This is a chemical reaction, because mass was not conserved.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .
