    The _______ is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

    Explanation
    The term "calorie" refers to a unit of energy that is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. It is a small unit of measurement commonly used in nutrition and dietetics. On the other hand, "Calorie" with a capital "C" is a larger unit of energy equivalent to 1000 calories, often used to represent the energy content of food and beverages.

    Mathematically, what does mean? - ProProfs

    Mathematically, what does mean?

    • Initial - final

    • Final - initial

    • Initial + final

    • Final + initial

    Correct Answer
    A. Final - initial
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "final - initial". In mathematics, the expression "final - initial" represents the difference between the final value and the initial value. It is a subtraction operation that calculates the change or the gap between two values. By subtracting the initial value from the final value, we can determine the numerical difference between them.

    A positive denotes a system that has absorbed energy, resulting in higher potential energy of the products - ProProfs

    A positive denotes a system that has absorbed energy, resulting in higher potential energy of the products

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A positive sign in this context indicates that the system has absorbed energy, which means that the potential energy of the products has increased. This suggests that the system has undergone a reaction or process that resulted in the accumulation of energy, leading to higher potential energy in the products. Therefore, the statement is true.

    What is the symbol for enthalpy?

    • E

    • T

    • H

    • W

    Correct Answer
    A. H
    Explanation
    The symbol for enthalpy is H. Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property that represents the total heat content of a system at constant pressure. It is often used in the study of energy transfer during chemical reactions and phase changes. The letter H is commonly used to represent enthalpy in equations and calculations.

    The ____________ is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

    • Kelvin

    • Specific heat

    • Calorie

    • Temperature

    Correct Answer
    A. Specific heat
    Explanation
    Specific heat is the correct answer because it refers to the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. It is a property that is unique to each substance and helps determine how much heat energy is needed to cause a change in temperature.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A _____________ is an apparatus used to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction.

    Correct Answer
    calorimeter
    Explanation
    A calorimeter is a device that is used to measure the heat energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction. It is designed to provide a controlled environment where the reaction can take place and the heat transfer can be accurately measured. By measuring the temperature change of the reactants or surroundings, the calorimeter can determine the enthalpy change of the reaction. Therefore, a calorimeter is the correct apparatus for determining the enthalpy change of a reaction.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following conditions are necessary for a good calorimeter to be useful?

    • Made of an insulator

    • Made of a conductor

    • Maintains an open system

    • Ensures good energy transfer between the contents and the outer environment

    Correct Answer
    A. Made of an insulator
    Explanation
    A good calorimeter needs to be made of an insulator because it should minimize heat transfer between the contents of the calorimeter and the outer environment. This ensures that the calorimeter accurately measures the heat absorbed or released by the substances being studied, without any interference from the surrounding environment. A conductor would allow heat to easily transfer in and out of the calorimeter, leading to inaccurate measurements. Maintaining an open system and ensuring good energy transfer are not necessary conditions for a good calorimeter to be useful.

    _____________ reaction occurs naturally without any outside input into the system.

    • An endothermic

    • An endothermic

    • A spontaneous

    • A nonspontaneous

    Correct Answer
    A. A spontaneous
    Explanation
    A spontaneous reaction occurs naturally without any outside input into the system. This means that the reaction will occur on its own without the need for any additional energy or assistance. In contrast, an endothermic reaction requires an input of energy from the surroundings in order to proceed. Therefore, the correct answer is "A spontaneous."

    When the value of is negative, that means that a chemical reaction ___________. - ProProfs

    When the value of is negative, that means that a chemical reaction ___________.

    • Is producing heat

    • Is taking in heat

    • Is spontaneous

    • Is nonspontaneous

    Correct Answer
    A. Is producing heat
    Explanation
    When the value of ΔH (change in enthalpy) is negative, it indicates that a chemical reaction is producing heat. This means that the reaction is exothermic, releasing energy in the form of heat to the surroundings.

    Energy will not disperse into areas of lower energy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Energy will disperse into areas of lower energy. This is because energy naturally flows from areas of higher energy to areas of lower energy in order to achieve equilibrium. This principle is known as the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy tends to spread out and become more evenly distributed over time. Therefore, the statement that energy will not disperse into areas of lower energy is incorrect.

  • 12. 

    Matter with high kinetic energy tends to clump together.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Matter with high kinetic energy tends to spread out rather than clump together. This is because particles with high kinetic energy have more energy to move around and collide with other particles, causing them to disperse. Therefore, the statement is false.

    The second law of thermodynamics states that ____________.

    • Heat will always move to places of lower termperatures

    • Energy can neither be created nor destroyed

    • The mass of the universe is constant

    • The entropy of the universe is always increasing

    Correct Answer
    A. The entropy of the universe is always increasing
    Explanation
    The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. According to this law, natural processes tend to move towards a state of greater disorder. This means that energy tends to disperse and become less concentrated over time. It also implies that it is impossible to have a perfectly efficient process, as some energy will always be lost as waste heat. This law has important implications for understanding the behavior of energy and heat in various systems.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Entropy is defined as the _____________.

    • Randomness of a system

    • Heat required to complete a reaction

    • Spontaneity of a chemical reaction

    • Work a system is able to perform

    Correct Answer
    A. Randomness of a system
    Explanation
    Entropy is a measure of the randomness or disorder in a system. It quantifies the number of microstates or possible arrangements that a system can have. A system with high entropy is more disordered and has more possible arrangements, while a system with low entropy is more ordered and has fewer possible arrangements. Therefore, the correct answer is "randomness of a system".
