A book is falling from the top shelf of a bookcase. Which statement correctly describes the change in the energy of the book?

A
The potential energy and kinetic energy remain the same.
B
The potential energy decreases as kinetic energy increases.
C
The kinetic energy decreases as potential energy increases.

6

Which statement describes the law of conservation of energy?

A
All systems will exchange matter and energy with their surroundings.
B
All systems can exchange energy, but not matter, with their surroundings.
C
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it changes from one form to another.
D

7

Reactant P contains 50 J of energy, and reactant Q contains 35.3 J of energy. The reactants combine to form product PQ, which contains 104 J of energy. What is the energy transformation?

A
Energy is absorbed because the product has more energy than the reactants have.
B
Energy is absorbed because the product has less energy than the reactants have.
C
Energy is lost because the product has more energy than the reactants have.
D
Energy is lost because the product has less energy than the reactants have.
8

How does an increase in reactant concentration affect the rate of reaction?

A
It leads to more frequent collisions, which increase reaction rate.
B
It leads to less frequent collisions, which increase reaction rate.
C
It leads to more frequent collisions, which decrease reaction rate.
D
It leads to less frequent collisions, which decrease reaction rate.
9

Which statement is usually true about the relationship between activation energy and reaction rates?

A
Low activation energy barriers result in low rates.
B
High activation energy barriers result in low rates.
C
Low activation energy barriers result in no reaction.
D
High activation energy barriers result in no reaction.
