    A spontaneous process refers to a physical or chemical change that occurs without any external intervention. It happens naturally and does not require any additional energy input. This means that the process can occur on its own, driven by the inherent tendencies of the system. It is important to note that a spontaneous process does not necessarily mean that it occurs quickly or instantaneously, but rather that it will occur without any external influence.

    Correct Answer
    A. Enthalpy (heat) of combustion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is enthalpy (heat) of combustion. The enthalpy change for the complete burning of one mole of a substance refers to the amount of heat released or absorbed when one mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion in excess oxygen. It is a measure of the energy content of the substance and is commonly used to determine the heat released during combustion reactions.

    Energy that is available to do work

    • Standard enthalpy (heat) of formation

    • Molar enthalpy (heat) of fusion

    • Spontaneous process

    • Enthalpy (heat) of combustion

    • Free energy

    • Joule

    Correct Answer
    A. Free energy
    Explanation
    Free energy refers to the energy that is available to do work. It is a thermodynamic concept that takes into account both the enthalpy (heat) and entropy (disorder) of a system. The free energy of a system determines whether a process can occur spontaneously or if it requires an input of energy. A negative free energy change indicates a spontaneous process, while a positive free energy change indicates a non-spontaneous process. Therefore, the free energy is a measure of the energy available to do useful work in a system.

    • Free energy

    • Joule

    Correct Answer
    A. Joule
    Explanation
    The correct answer is joule. Joule is the SI unit of heat and energy. It is a derived unit named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule. It is used to measure various forms of energy including heat, work, and electrical energy. The joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter in the direction of the force. It is a fundamental unit in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used in scientific and engineering applications.

    A(n) ____ consists of two or more elementary steps.

    • Complex reaction

    • Elementary step

    • Reaction mechanism

    • Reaction order

    Correct Answer
    A. Complex reaction
    Explanation
    A complex reaction consists of two or more elementary steps. In a complex reaction, the overall reaction occurs through a series of smaller steps, known as elementary steps. Each elementary step has its own reaction rate and can involve the formation or breaking of chemical bonds. The combination of these elementary steps leads to the overall reaction. Therefore, a complex reaction is a comprehensive process that involves multiple steps to reach the final outcome.

    • There are repulsive forces between the reactants.

    • The concentration of HI decreases with time.

    • The concentration of the reactants is less than that of the product.

    • The reaction rate is decreasing with time.

    Correct Answer
    A. The concentration of HI decreases with time.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The concentration of HI decreases with time." This is because the given information states that there are repulsive forces between the reactants, which suggests that the reaction is likely to be exothermic. In an exothermic reaction, the concentration of the reactants decreases over time as they are converted into products. Therefore, the decrease in concentration of HI with time is a valid explanation based on the given information.

    Which of the following factors does not affect the rate of reaction?

    • The physical state of the reactants.

    • The amount of the reactants.

    • The size of the container used.

    • The temperature at which the reaction is carried out.

    Correct Answer
    A. The size of the container used.
    Explanation
    The size of the container used does not affect the rate of reaction because it does not have any direct influence on the collision frequency or the energy of the collisions between the reactant particles. The rate of reaction is determined by factors such as the physical state of the reactants, the amount of the reactants, and the temperature at which the reaction is carried out, as these factors affect the collision frequency and the energy of the collisions.
