A
There is no change in average kinetic energy between these two systems.
B
Molecules vibrate more as temperature decreases.
C
Kinetic energy decreases as temperature decreases.
D
Temperature is not related to the average kinetic energy of a system.

Consider these intermediate chemical equations. cap c times s plus 1 half cap o sub 2 g rightarrow CO times g CO times g plus 1 half cap o sub 2 g rightarrow CO sub 2 times g When you form the final chemical equation, what should you do with CO ?

A
Add the two CO molecules together, and write them as reactants in the final chemical reaction.
B
Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.
C
Write CO only once as a reactant in the final chemical reaction.
D
Write CO as a reactant and a product in the final chemical reaction.

B
2 cap c sub 2 cap h sub 6 plus 7 cap o sub 2 rightarrow 4 CO sub 2 plus 6 cap h sub 2 cap o plus 2 comma 502 KJ
C
6 CO sub 2 plus 12 cap h sub 2 cap o plus energy rightarrow cap c sub 6 cap h sub 12 cap o sub 6 plus 6 cap o sub 2 plus 6 cap h sub 2 cap o
D
HCl plus NaOH rightarrow NaCl plus cap h sub 2 cap o plus 58 kJ

Which statement about enthalpy is true?

A
The enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always negative.
B
Enthalpy is not a state function because its change depends on the identities of the reactants and products.
C
Enthalpy is a state function because its change depends only on initial and final conditions.
D
The enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.

Which is the best example of how electromagnetic energy is used in everyday life?

A
a car burning gasoline to power the engine
B
a patient receiving an X-ray in a hospital
C
a car of a roller coaster moving quickly down a slope
D
a pot of boiling water on a gas stove
14

Which statement best describes the direction of heat flow by conduction between two samples of the same material?

A
Heat flows from faster molecules to slower molecules when they are near.
B
Heat flows from faster molecules to slower molecules when they collide.
C
Heat flows from slower molecules to faster molecules when they are near.
D
Heat flows from slower molecules to faster molecules when they collide.

Reactant cap p contains 50 cap j of energy, and reactant cap q contains 35 point 3 cap j of energy. The reactants combine to form product PQ , which contains 104 cap j of energy. What is the energy transformation?

A
Energy is lost because the product has less energy than the reactants have.
B
Energy is absorbed because the product has less energy than the reactants have.
C
Energy is absorbed because the product has more energy than the reactants have.
D
Energy is lost because the product has more energy than the reactants have.
17

Which best describes heat?

A
energy that increases as a book is lifted to a higher shelf
B
energy that flows from a hot mug of tea to a cold hand
C
energy that is carried by electric and magnetic fields
D
energy that decreases as a car slows to a stop
18

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample?

A
Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.
B
Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.
C
Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.
D
Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.
19

Which describes the enthalpy change associated with an endothermic reaction?

A
It is positive because the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.
B
It is negative because the enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants.
C
It is positive because the enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants.
D
It is negative because the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

What explains the key difference between a bomb calorimeter and a coffee cup calorimeter?

A
A bomb calorimeter can measure heat gain or loss in gaseous reactions but is not useful for reactions that occur at high pressures and temperatures.
B
A bomb calorimeter is 10 times larger but works the same way.
C
A bomb calorimeter measures heat for liquid products only.
D
A bomb calorimeter has a separate chamber to hold substances and can even measure heat gain or loss for reactions that do not occur in water.
