Which energy graph represents the nonspontaneous transition of graphite into diamond?

A
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts low on the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up sharply, curves down a short distance, and levels out.
Option A
B
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up sharply, curves down sharply, and levels out below the initial starting point.
Option B
C
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up a small amount, then curves down to level out below the initial starting point.
Option C
D
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up a moderate amount, then curves down sharply to level out below the initial starting point.
Option D

A reaction occurs when solid X is placed into solution Y. As a result, the temperature of the new solution increases by 3°C. The temperature rises another 2°C when more of solid X is added to the solution. What does this indicate about the effect of adding more solid?

A
It increased the number of molecular collisions.
B
It decreased the number of molecular collisions.
C
It decreased the space between the molecules and lowered the reaction rate.
D
It increased the space between the molecules and increased the reaction rate.
13

Which statement correctly describes the actual yield and the theoretical yield of a reaction?

A
The actual yield is calculated from the reactant amounts, but the theoretical yield must be measured for each instance of a reaction.
B
The actual yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant, and the theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the excess reactant.
C
The actual yield depends on the reaction conditions, but the theoretical yield varies only with reactant amounts.
D
The actual yield represents the maximum yield possible, and the theoretical yield assumes perfect reaction conditions.
14

Which statement best applies collision theory to preventing a dangerous reaction from occurring?

A

B
Keep all sparks or flames away from the reactants.
C
Store the reactants together at a low temperature.
D

15

What happens as the activation energy increases?

A
The pressure of the system decreases.
B
The kinetic energy of colliding molecules changes.
C
The reactant surface area decreases.
D
The reaction begins to slow down.
