Question 1

When vinegar ($$\mathrm{CH_3COOH}) $$and baking soda ($$\mathrm{$$NaHCO_3$$}) $$are combined, the reaction is endothermic and releases $$\mathrm{CO_2$}$$ gas. What would you expect to observe if you touch the test tube during the reaction, and what is the sign of $$\Delta G$$ for this process?

Accepted Answer

The test tube feels cold; $$\Delta G is $$negative.

Question 2

Which of the following best defines the free energy change ($$\Delta G) $$for a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G is $$the energy available to do work during a reaction at constant temperature and pressure.

Question 3

Which of the following reactions is exothermic?

Accepted Answer

A reaction where the test tube gets hot when two solids are combined.

Question 4

On a reaction energy diagram, if the products are lower in energy than the reactants, the reaction is classified as:

Accepted Answer

Exergonic

Question 5

Which of the following changes would result in a positive entropy change ($$\Delta S$$)?

Accepted Answer
