What does delta H mean if it is positive?

What is an endothermic reaction

300

What is happening in terms of molecular structure to water at 100 degrees C?

Which law of thermodynamics?


When you burn wood, the chemical energy stored in the wood is converted into heat and light energy. The total amound of energy remains the same.

What is the first law of thermodynamics

300

During deposition, does entropy increase or decrease?

What is decrease

400

N2 + O2 + 180.5 kJ  →  2NO 

Exo or endothermic?

What is endothermic

400

What is the amount of energy in kJ needed to heat 5g of H2O from -5 to 85 degrees C?

What is 3.5 kJ

400

What is the heat in kJ when 5g of Al are heated from 35 to 100 degrees C? 

Al specific heat is 0.90

What is 0.293 kJ

400

Which law of thermodynamics?


A perfect crystal at absolute zero K would have 0 entropy

What is the third law of thermodynamics
400

Define specific heat and it's units.

What is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius and J/g degrees C

500

Explain how a calorimeter works and measures?

What is a scientific instrument used to measure the amount of heat released or absorbed during chemical reactions, physical changes, or heat capacity. It works by measuring temperature changes in an insulated system, to calculate enthalpy changes, with results in Joules

500

What is the amount of energy in kJ needed to heat 7g of H2O from -10 to 115 degrees C

What is 21.44 kJ

500

A 32.5g sample of unknown metal is heated to 132 C & placed in a calorimeter containing 125g of water at 25C. After the metal cools, the final temp of metal and water is 27 C. 

Calculate the specific heat of the unknown metal to identify it.

What is 0.306 J/gC

500

Which law of thermodynamics? 

A hot cup of coffee left on a countertop will eventually cool down to room temperature. The heat energy from the coffee flows to cooler surroundings, increasing the entropy of the overall system.

What is the second law of thermodynamics

500

Define intermolecular forces and how they relate directly to phase changes.

What is the attractive and repulsive electrostatic forces that act between neighboring molecules or atoms. They relate because itermolecular forces act as the "sticky" connections holding molecules together in condensed phases (solid or liquid). Phase changes occur when thermal energy is added or removed, changing the ability of molecules to overcome these attractions.
