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
Write CO as a reactant and a product 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
Add the two CO molecules together, and write them as reactants in the final chemical reaction.
D
Write CO only once as a reactant in the final chemical reaction.

A reaction occurs when solid X is placed into solution Y. As a result, the temperature of the new solution increases by 3 times degree C The temperature rises another 2 times degree C when more of solid X is added to the solution. What does this indicate about the effect of adding more solid?

A
It decreased the number of molecular collisions.
B
It decreased the space between the molecules and lowered the reaction rate.
C
It increased the space between the molecules and increased the reaction rate.
D
It increased the number of molecular collisions.
11

Which statement about enthalpy is true?

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