Change in temperature
Question 2
Question
In the equation Q = mcΔT, what does ΔT stand for?
Answer
-
Energy released
-
Mass heated
-
Specific heat capacity
-
Change in temperature
Question 3
Question
True or false? To find out the energy released per gram, we measure the change of mass in fuel and divide by that value.
Question 4
Question
True or false? To find the energy released per mole, we divide the energy released per gram by the relative formula mass of the substance.
Question 5
Question
Why do simple calorimeters not give an accurate reading for temperature change?
Answer
-
They do not have sophisticated data loggers
-
A lot of thermal energy is not transferred to the solution in the calorimeter
-
The calorimeter only allows pre-set temperature changes to occur
Question 6
Question
Which of these are features of a simple calorimeter?
Answer
-
Cup made of copper
-
Cup made of polystyrene
-
No lid is present
-
A lid is present
Question 7
Question
What would be the correct equation if 50g of acid was mixed with 50g of alkali causing a temperature rise of 9°C?
Answer
-
Q = 50 * 4.2 * 9
-
Q = 100 * 4.2 * 9
-
Q = 100 * 8.4 * 9
-
Q = 50 * 8.4 * 9
Question 8
Question
True or false? When measuring energy changes in solutions, we assume the solution behaves like water.
Question 9
Question
In an exothermic reaction, which side of the energy level diagram has more energy?
Question 10
Question
In an endothermic reaction, which side of the energy level diagram has more energy?
Question 11
Question
True or false? The energy change of a reaction is the difference between the maximum activation energy and the energy of the products.
Question 12
Question
How would an energy level diagram be different if a catalyst were present?
Answer
-
The activation energy would be higher
-
The activation energy would be lower
-
The reactants would have less energy
-
The products would have more energy
Question 13
Question
True or false? Bond breaking is exothermic.
Question 14
Question
What unit are bond energies measured in?
Question 15
Question
True or false? The bond energy needed to break a particular bond is the same as the bond energy released in forming that bond.
Question 16
Question
What is the ΔH of a reaction?
Answer
-
The bond energy of forming products - the bond energy of breaking reactants
-
The bond energy of breaking reactants - the bond energy of forming products
-
The bond energy of forming reactants - the bond energy of breaking products
-
The bond energy of breaking products - the bond energy of forming reactants

Question
Which gas is being looked at as a possible alternative to petrol fuels?
Answer
-
Oxygen
-
Nitrogen
-
Hydrogen
-
Carbon dioxide
Question 18
Question
True or false? The only waste product of the combustion of hydrogen is water.
Question 19
Question
What do we use to combust hydrogen?
Question 20

Which of these are disadvantages of using hydrogen as a fuel?
Answer
-
It is not very inflammable
-
There are safety problems due to flammability
-
It takes up a lot of storage space
-
At present we only have a limited supply
-
Hydrogen is toxic to humans
