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.
3

What is thermal energy?

A
the average overall volume of a system
B
the total number of molecules in a system
C
the kinetic energy of particles in a system
D
the measure of temperature in a system
4

The temperature of a gas is increased. Which statement best explains the effect that this has on the motion of gas particles?

A
The average kinetic energy decreases, and the particles stop colliding.
B
The average kinetic energy increases, and the particles stop colliding.
C
The average kinetic energy decreases, and the particles collide less frequently.

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

Which answer defines exothermic reaction?

A
a process in which energy is released as heat
B
a process in which energy is absorbed as heat
C
a process in which energy is stored and released
D
a process in which energy is not present in a system
8

Which statement about exothermic reactions is accurate?

A
As reactants form products, the potential energy decreases.
B
As reactants form products, the potential energy increases.
C
Thermal energy is transferred from the product to the reacting substances.
D
Thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the reacting substances.
