Accepted Answer

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms, while thermal energy is the total energy of all the atoms.

Question 8

A soda contains 40 g of sugar. If 1 g of sugar provides 17 kJ of energy, how many Calories does the soda provide? ($$1\,	ext{Cal} = 4.19\,	ext{kJ})$$

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Calories} = \frac{40 	imes 17\,	ext{kJ}}{4.19\,	ext{kJ}} \approx 162$$

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct expression for the efficiency of a process?

Accepted Answer

The temperature of the gas increases.

Question 14

Which of the following is a correct statement about the direction of heat flow?

Accepted Answer

Heat always flows spontaneously from a hotter object to a colder object.

Question 15

A compact fluorescent bulb uses 15 W of power to produce 3.0 W of visible-light energy. What is its efficiency?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Efficiency} = \frac{3.0\,	ext{W}}{15\,	ext{W}} = 0.20 = 20\%$$

If two containers of the same gas have different masses and temperatures, which container has the largest average kinetic energy per molecule?

Accepted Answer

The container with the highest temperature.

Question 18

Metabolizing one molecule of glucose releases $$4.7 	imes 10$$^{-19}$$\,	ext{J}$$, and each ATP molecule releases $$5.1 	imes 10$$^{-20}$$\,	ext{J}. If 38 $$ATP molecules are produced per glucose, what is the efficiency of this energy conversion?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Efficiency} = \frac{38 	imes 5.1 	imes 10$$^{-20}$$\,	ext{J}}{4.7 	imes 10$$^{-19}$$\,	ext{J}} \approx 0.41 = 41\%$$
