$$133\ \mathrm{J}$$

Question 7

Which of the following is TRUE about state functions?

Accepted Answer

State functions depend only on the initial and final states, not the path taken.

Question 8

A chemical reaction in a flask causes the temperature of the flask to decrease. Which of the following is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

The reaction is endothermic and absorbs heat from the surroundings.

Question 9

Given the reaction $$\mathrm{CH_4$(g) + 2O_2(g) \rightarrow CO_2$(g) + 2H_2O(l)}$$ with $$\Delta H = -890\ \mathrm{kJ/mol}$$, what does the negative sign indicate?

Accepted Answer

The reaction is exothermic and releases heat.

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the heat absorbed or released by a substance?

Accepted Answer

$$q = mC\Delta T$$

Question 11

A system absorbs $$12.4\ \mathrm{J} of $$heat and does $$-4.2\ \mathrm{J} of $$work on the surroundings. What is the change in internal energy ($$\Delta E) of $$the system?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta E = +8.2\ \mathrm{J}$$
