1

Define standard enthalpy change of combustion

Select one of the following:

The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a substance reacts completely with oxygen under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard conditions
The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound in its standard state is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states under standard conditions
The enthalpy change that accompanies a reaction in the molar quantities expressed in a chemical equation under standard conditions, all reactants and products being in their standard states

Explanation

Question 4 of 8

1

Define "addition reaction"

Select one of the following:

A reaction in which a reactant is added to an unsaturated molecule to make a saturated molecule
A reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of the latter's ions.
The removal of a molecule from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule
The formation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction. Precipitates are often formed when two aqueous solutions are mixed together
A reaction in which an atom or group of atoms is replaced with a different atom, or group of atoms

Explanation

1

Define "displacement reaction"

Select one of the following:

A reaction in which a reactant is added to an unsaturated molecule to make a saturated molecule
A reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of the latter's ions.
The removal of a molecule from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule
The formation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction. Precipitates are often formed when two aqueous solutions are mixed together
A reaction in which an atom or group of atoms is replaced with a different atom, or group of atoms

Explanation

1

Define "elimination reaction"

Select one of the following:

A reaction in which a reactant is added to an unsaturated molecule to make a saturated molecule
A reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of the latter's ions.
The removal of a molecule from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule
The formation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction. Precipitates are often formed when two aqueous solutions are mixed together

A reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of the latter's ions.
The removal of a molecule from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule
The formation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction. Precipitates are often formed when two aqueous solutions are mixed together
