Accepted Answer

$$1,225,200 \ \mathrm{J}$$

Question 9

Which of the following best explains why the boiling point of a liquid increases with increasing external pressure?

Accepted Answer

More energy is required for the vapor pressure to equal the higher external pressure.

Question 10

Which of the following is an example of an extensive property?

Accepted Answer

Mass

Question 11

A heating curve for water shows a flat line at 100 $$^\circC. $$What is happening to the water at this point?

Accepted Answer

Water is undergoing a phase change from liquid to gas (boiling).

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the difference between a compound and a mixture?

Accepted Answer

A compound is made of elements chemically bonded in fixed ratios, while a mixture is a physical combination of substances.

Question 13

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance?

Accepted Answer

$$q = m 	imes SH 	imes \Delta T$$
