When ammonium chloride and water interact, less energy is released from breaking the bonds in the water and ammonium chloride than what is required to form the bonds of the new substance.
what is happening in the reaction?
an endothermic reaction is occurring.
an exothermic reaction is occurring.
energy is being released into the surroundings.
energy escapes as light into the surroundings.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Aspectroscope breaks light up into its colors, allowing scientists to analyze light from the solar system and universe. by studying the spectral line patterns, widths, strengths and positions, scientists can determine the speed, position, and of celestial bodies. a) age b) origin c) rotation d) temperature

Arope has one end tied to a vertical support. you hold the other end so that the rope is horizontal. if you move the end of the rope back and forth with a frequency of 4 hz, the transverse wave you produce has a wavelength of 0.5 m. what is the speed of the wave in the rope?
