What is a calorie?
a unit for measuring energy; 1 calorie = the amount of energy needed to raise the temp of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
100

Convert 234 calories to Joules (1 calorie= 4.184 J)

979 J

Predict the sign of entropy for the following process:

CO2(g) --> CO2(l)

entropy would be negative, system is becoming more ordered

100

Which conditions lead to a process that is spontaneous at all temperatures? (what would the sign for delta H and delta S be for this to be true?)

negative enthalpy; positive entropy
100

What is the difference between specific heat and heat capacity?

specific heat for a substance is the amount of energy required to heat 1 gram of a substance and raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius; the heat capacity is more general and is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of any mass of substance by 1 degree Celsius

200

What is the SI (system international) unit for energy?

Joule

200

How many joules of heat are lost by 3580 kg granite as it cools from 41.2oC to -12.9oC?  (specific heat of granite is 0.790 J/g*oC)

1.56 x 108 J

200

Which state of matter has the largest entropy?

gas; most disorder

200

Could a reaction be spontaneous with a negative value for enthalpy and a negative value for entropy?  How?

yes; if the temperature was low enough 

200

a process that absorbs heat is called what?

endothermic; takes energy from the surroundings

300

This is the device used to measure the amount of energy released or absorbed during a chemical or physical process

calorimeter

300

How much heat is absorbed by a 2000 kg granite boulder as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 10 to 29oC (specific heat of granite is 0.790 J/g*oC)

30,000 kJ

300

Which of these two has a greater entropy?

NH3 (g) or NH3(aq)

NH3 (g)

300

Given enthalpy, entropy, and temperature data, calculate the ΔGsystem and determine whether the reaction is spontaneous or not.  

ΔHsystem= 8.30 kJ, T= 273 K, ΔSsystem= -137 J/K

45,700 J

45.7 kJ

300

If you were to touch a flask inside of which an endothermic reaction was taking place, would it feel hot or cold?  why?

cold- endothermic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings, in this case, your hand, making them feel cold to the touch

400

This is the heat content of a system at constant pressure

enthalpy

400

What mass of octane must be burned in order to liberate 5340 kJ of heat? delta Hcomb = -5471 kJ/mol

112g octane

400

Predict the sign of entropy for the reaction:

H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O(l)

negative; two moles of gas yields one mole of liquid, gas has higher entropy

400

Could a reaction be spontaneous with a negative value for entropy and a positive value for enthalpy?

no- this will always be nonspontaneous (positive minus a negative will always be a positive number)

+-(-)= +

400

If heat is released by a chemical system, an equal amount of heat will be _____

absorbed by the surroundings; conservation of energy

500

In this type of chemical reaction or process, the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the reactants is greater than the energy stored in the bonds of the products

exothermic; releases extra energy to the surroundings

500

What is the final temperature of 1280 g of water originally at 20.0oC, if it absorbs 47.6 kJ of heat?

28.9oC

500

Predict the sign of entropy for the following reaction:

4FeS(s) + 7O2(g) --> 2Fe2O3(s) + 4SO2(g)

negative- more moles of gas on reactants side than products side

500

Given enthalpy, entropy, and temperature data, calculate the ΔGsystem and determine whether the reaction is spontaneous or not.  

ΔHsystem= -456 kJ, T= 273 K, ΔSsystem= 1465 J/K

-856,000 J

-856 kJ

Determine delta H for the reaction of aluminum and sulfur dioxide:

4Al(s) + 3SO2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) + 3S(s)

Use the following equations:

4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) delta H = -3352 kJ/mol

S(s) + O2(g) --> SO2(g) delta H = -297 kJ/mol

-2461 kJ
