Accepted Answer

$$6.15\ \mathrm{atm}$$

Question 6

Which of the following best explains why water boils at a lower temperature at high altitudes?

Accepted Answer

$$1.33\ \mathrm{L}$$

Question 9

Which of the following is a state function?

Accepted Answer

Enthalpy ($$H)$$

Question 10

Which of the following reactions is exothermic?

Accepted Answer

Combustion of methane: $$\mathrm{CH}_4 (g) + 2\mathrm{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_2 (g) + 2\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} (g)$$

Question 11

Which of the following best describes Hess's Law?

Accepted Answer

The enthalpy change for a reaction is the same, regardless of the number of steps or pathway taken.

Question 12

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the enthalpy change ($$\Delta H) of a $$reaction using standard enthalpies of formation?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta H = \sum n \Delta H_f$$^{\circ}$$ (	ext{products}) - \sum n \Delta H_f$$^{\circ}$$ (	ext{reactants})$$

Question 13

A balloon filled with helium gas has a volume of 2.50 L at 1.00 atm and 298 K. If the balloon rises to a higher altitude where the pressure is 0.800 atm and the temperature is 273 K, what is the new volume of the balloon?

Accepted Answer

$$2.73\ \mathrm{L}$$

Question 14

Which of the following best explains why real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures and low temperatures?

Accepted Answer

Intermolecular forces and the finite volume of gas particles become significant.

Question 15

Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for the combustion of propane ($$\mathrm{C}_3\mathrm{H}_8$$)?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{C}_3\mathrm{H}_8 (g) + 5\mathrm{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow 3\mathrm{CO}_2 (g) + 4\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} (g)$$

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the difference between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?

Accepted Answer

Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an object by 1 K, while specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 K.
