Which Sample of gas contains molecules with the smallest average speed? 

Sample A - 250 K

Sample B - 225 K

Sample C - 273 K

Sample D 290 K

Sample B, because it has the lowest temperature. 

100

What is specific heat?

the amount of heat energy that it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a specific substance by 1 degree Celsius

100

What is the state of matter if: IF<KE

Gas

100

List all the places on the graph that you would use the equation Q=mCΔT to calculate the heat.

1 - heating up ice

3 - heating up liquid

5 - heating up gas

100

What is a good word to describe entropy?

Disorder

200

Which sample has the lowest temperatue?

Sample A: 1.5x104 J

Sample B: 5.06 x 104 J

Sample C: 2.73 x 103 J

Sample D: 5.10 x 103 J

Sample C because it has the lowest Kinetic Energy

200

What is the equation to calculate specific heat?

Q = mC△T 

Q = Heat

m = Mass

C = Specific Heat

T = Temperature

200

What is the state when IF = KE?

Liquid

200

How much heat is given off by 900 kg of iron when it solidifies at its melting point? (Hf=2.66x105 j/kg)


Q=mHf

Q = (900)(2.66x105)

Q = 2.39 x 108 J

200

Which of the following converts heat energy to mechanical energy?

A. Water flowing over a waterwheel

B. Rubbing your hands together

C. Turning the crank on a generator

D. Boiling water in a steam engine

D. Boiling water in a steam engine

300

If you put a hot metal spoon in a cup of cool water, what happens to the molecules in the water?

They molecules in the water gain energy and speed up. 

300

Iron has a higher specific heat than copper does. What does this mean for the time it takes to heat the object up?

Iron takes longer to heat up than copper because it takes more energy to heat up 1 gram than it does copper. 

300

Which form of matter has free electrons?

Plasma

300

How much heat is required to vaporize 1.75 kg of liquid water at its boiling point (Hv = 2.26 x 10J/kg)

Equation: Q=mHv

Q = (1.75)(2.26x106)

Q = 3.95x106 J

300

Considering the equation for the first law of thermodynamics, U=Q-W, if 100J of heat is added to a system that does 600 J of work, what is the internal energy of the system? 

Heat is added so 100 will be positive

Work is done by the system so the 600 will be positive. 

100 - 600 = -500 J (there is a loss of internal energy) 

400

When does heat stop transferring? 

When the two objects reach the same temperature (equilibrium). 

400

The amount of heat needed to raise 2.0 kg of a substance by 80 K is 33 kJ.

What is the specific heat of the substance? (Hint: Heat needs to be in J)

Q=mCT

C= Q/mT

C= 33,000 J /(2)(80)

C = 206 J/kg.K

400

If KE becomes less than IF what phase change occurred?

Condensation: gas to liquid

400

You have a 2.00 kg block of lead. Lead melts at 327.5°C. (C = 130.0 j/kg.c). You start at room temperature; how much heat must you transfer to reach the melting point?

Q=mCT

Q = (2kg)(130)(327.5 - 25)

Q= 78,650 J

400

According to the first law of thermodynamics, if a system is entirely isolated, which of the following conditions apply? 

A. Q>0, W<0

B.  Q>0, W=0

C.  Q=0, W<0

D.  Q=0, W=0

If the system is entirely isolated, there would be no heat transfer or no work being done. So, D would be the correct answer. 

500

Which 2 objects have the greatest heat transfer when placed next to each other?

Object A - 200K

Object B - 275 K

Object C - 225 K

Object D - 245 K

Objects A and B, because they have the greatest temperature difference. 

500

A 0.20 kg block of a substance requires 1.79 kJ of heat to raise its temperature by 20 K.

What is the substance?

Specific heats: 

Aluminim: 897 J/g.k

Gold: 130 J/g.k

Iron: 450 J/g.k

Silver: 235 J/g.k

Q=mCT

C=Q/mT

C= 1,790J/(.20x20)

C = 447.5 J/g.k

Iron

500

Where on the graph would you use the equation for heat of vaporization?

4 because at this point the liquid is turning into a gas

500

It takes 1.5x103 J of heat to melt an amount of gold (Hf=6.30x104 j/kg). How much gold do you have? 

Q=mHf

m=Q/Hf

m = (1.5x103)/(6.30x104)

m = 0.024 kg or 24g

500

What is the change of entropy for a heat engine using 500.0 J at 20.0°C?

ΔS=Q/T
