energy that increases as a book is lifted to a higher shelf
B
energy that flows from a hot mug of tea to a cold hand

Which statement about enthalpy is true?

A
The enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
B
The enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always negative.
C
Enthalpy is a state function because its change depends only on initial and final conditions.
D
Enthalpy is not a state function because its change depends on the identities of the reactants and products.
11

How is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance affected during a phase change?

A
Kinetic energy does not change, but the potential energy does.
B
Kinetic energy increases during exothermic changes and decreases during endothermic changes.
C
Kinetic energy decreases during exothermic changes and increases during endothermic changes.
D
Kinetic energy changes in the opposite way that the potential energy changes.
12

Which describes the enthalpy change associated with an endothermic reaction?

A
It is positive because the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.
B
It is positive because the enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants.
C
It is negative because the enthalpy of the products is greater than the enthalpy of the reactants.
D
It is negative because the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

Consider these intermediate chemical equations. cap c times s plus 1 half cap o sub 2 g rightarrow CO times g CO times g plus 1 half cap o sub 2 g rightarrow CO sub 2 times g When you form the final chemical equation, what should you do with CO ?

A
Write CO as a reactant and a product in the final chemical reaction.
B
Write CO only once as a reactant in the final chemical reaction.
C
Add the two CO molecules together, and write them as reactants in the final chemical reaction.
D
Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.
14

Which statement best describes the direction of heat flow by conduction between two samples of the same material?

A
Heat flows from faster molecules to slower molecules when they are near.
B
Heat flows from faster molecules to slower molecules when they collide.
C
Heat flows from slower molecules to faster molecules when they are near.
D
Heat flows from slower molecules to faster molecules when they collide.

a unit of energy that is used when calculating energy exchange
D
the measurement of energy that is given off or absorbed in a physical or chemical process
