B
The molecules move more slowly and their average kinetic energy decreases.
C
The molecules move more quickly and their average kinetic energy decreases.
D
The molecules move more slowly and their average kinetic energy increases.

The diagram below shows the temperature dropping from 80°C to 20°C.Molecules that have longer arrows are moving faster. Which statement describes what is happening in this system?

Question illustration
A
Molecules vibrate more as temperature decreases.
B
Temperature is not related to the average kinetic energy of a system.

a process in which energy is not present in a system
5

An ice cube is placed on a kitchen counter. Which best describes heat flow in this situation?

A
Heat flows from the ice to the counter, causing the molecules in the counter to move more quickly.
B
Heat flows from the ice to the counter, causing the molecules in the counter to move more slowly.
C
Heat flows from the counter to the ice, causing the molecules in the counter to move more quickly.
D
Heat flows from the counter to the ice, causing the molecules in the counter to move more slowly.
6

How does the potential-energy diagram for a reaction indicate whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

A
An endothermic reaction has reactants that are lower in energy than products because energy is absorbed to form the products.
B
An endothermic reaction has reactants that are higher in energy than products because energy is released to form the products.
C
An exothermic reaction has reactants that are lower in energy than products because energy is released to form the products.
D
An exothermic reaction has reactants that are higher in energy than products because energy is absorbed to form the products.
7

Heat that flows by conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between substances in contact. What must occur for this to happen?

A
The two systems must be the same temperature.
B
The two systems must not be touching each another.
C
One system must have higher kinetic energy than the other system.
D
The thermal energy of one system must be the same as the thermal energy of the other system.

A hot metal plate at 150°C has been placed in air at room temperature. Which event would most likely take place over the next few minutes?

A
Molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at lower speeds.
B
Molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at higher speeds.
C
The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will slow down, and the molecules in the metal will speed up.
D
The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down.
9

Iron reacts with oxygen in a chemical hand-warmer. How should this reaction be categorized?

A
as an exothermic process because it releases heat
B
as an endothermic process because it releases heat
C
as an exothermic process because it absorbs heat
D
as an endothermic process because it absorbs heat
