Pregunta 3
Pregunta
True or false? To find out the energy released per gram, we measure the change of mass in fuel and divide by that value.
Pregunta 4
Pregunta
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.
Pregunta 5
Pregunta
Why do simple calorimeters not give an accurate reading for temperature change?
Respuesta
-
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

No lid is present
-
A lid is present
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
What would be the correct equation if 50g of acid was mixed with 50g of alkali causing a temperature rise of 9°C?
Respuesta
-
Q = 50 * 4.2 * 9
-
Q = 100 * 4.2 * 9
-
Q = 100 * 8.4 * 9
-
Q = 50 * 8.4 * 9
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
True or false? When measuring energy changes in solutions, we assume the solution behaves like water.

Pregunta
In an exothermic reaction, which side of the energy level diagram has more energy?
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
In an endothermic reaction, which side of the energy level diagram has more energy?
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
True or false? The energy change of a reaction is the difference between the maximum activation energy and the energy of the products.
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
How would an energy level diagram be different if a catalyst were present?
Respuesta
-
The activation energy would be higher
-
The activation energy would be lower
-
The reactants would have less energy
-
The products would have more energy
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
True or false? Bond breaking is exothermic.
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
What unit are bond energies measured in?
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
True or false? The bond energy needed to break a particular bond is the same as the bond energy released in forming that bond.
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
What is the ΔH of a reaction?
Respuesta
-
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
