ANS: B MSC: Remembering Collect and Analyze: There are five distances to choose from, 10pm, 3pm, 5pm, 12pm and 8pm. The charges are the same in each diagram. Electrostatic potential is computed by the followin equation: E ( Q Q ) 1 2 el d The distance, d, is the denominator, and the numerator is constant. As the distance, d, increases, the energy must decrease. The smallest distance must be the largest energy, E. The math doesn t deceive! PTS: 1 DIF: Medium REF: 5.2 OBJ: Describe how the electrostatic potential energy varies with the charge on two particles and the distance between them. MSC: Understanding
4. ANS: C In a, b and d,, no heat is leaving the system, so none of these is exothermic. In c, heat is leaving the system, therefore the process is exothermic.

9. ANS: B Collect and Organize: 10.0 g of Fe C P = 25.09 J/mol?9 T i = 25 q = 9.5 J Analyze: We are asked to solve for the final temperature, T f. q = nc PΔT and ΔT = T f T I and n = m/?9m, substituting, q = (m/?9m)c P(T f T I) Applying your algebra: Plug in the values and do the math: We added heat, so the temperature went up. PTS: 1 DIF: Easy REF: 5.5 OBJ: Use heat capacity, specific heat capacity, and molar heat capacity appropriately in analysis or calculations. MSC: Applying
10. ANS: E Collect and Organize: T i = -10.0 C m = 100.0 g q = 350.0 kj c s (ice) = 2.11 J/g = 1 x 10-3 kj/g ΔH fusion = 334 J/g = kj/g c s (water) = 4.18 J/g = x 10-3 kj/g ΔH vap = 334 J/g = kj/g c s (water) = 2.08 J/g = x 10-3 kj/g Analyze: First the ice must warm to 0 C, so we need the specific heat capacity of ice. We apply and check if we have used all 350 kj. If we haven t, we then check to see how much heat it will take to melt the ice. We apply check again. and If there is energy left, use the specific heat of liquid water. We apply. If there is energy left, we apply. If there is energy left, we solve. for ΔT and add that value to 100 C First heat the ice. Next, melt the ice.. Plenty of heat left. Next, heat the water.. Still plenty of heat left. Now evaporate the water.. Still plenty left.. Now we need to know how much heat we have left.
Solve, for ΔT T = T boiling + ΔT = 100 C + 225 C = 335 C The change in temperature may be expressed in either scale, since the units are of the same magnitude.

ANS: B Collect and Organize: ΔH rxn = -2803 kj/mol q = -30kJ (exothermic) Analyze: We are asked to determine the mass of glucose needed to produce 30kJ of heat. Since we are given a molar value, we will first have to determine how many moles of glucose are required, so we will have to determine the molar mass of glucose from its formula, C 6H 12O 6. This step is left to the solver (old stuff). Since only a small fraction of the molar value of heat was produced, only a small fraction of a mole of glucose was required.

S(s) + 3 / 2 O 2(g) SO 3(g) 2SO 2(g) + O 2(g) 2SO 3(g) ΔH = -395kJ ΔH = -198kJ Analyze: We must use Hess s Law. The first reaction has S(s) as a reactant, just as the target reaction. It also has the same coefficient, so it appears we can use this reaction as is. The second reaction has the product (SO 2) of the target, but it appears as a reactant, so we will have to reverse the reaction and negate the enthalpy. Its coefficient is twice that of the target, so we will have divide all the coefficients and the enthalpy. If the sum of the first reaction and the altered second reaction are equal to the target, the sum of the enthalpies will equal the enthalpy of the target reaction. Alter the second equation: Reverse it 2SO 3(g) SO 2(g) + O 2(g) ΔH = +198kJ Divide it by two SO 3(g) SO 2(g) + ½ O 2(g) ΔH = +99kJ Add the two and cancel whatever appears on both sides S(s) + 3 / 2 O 2(g) SO 3(g) SO 3(g) SO 2(g) + ½ O 2(g) S(s) + O 2(g) SO 2(g) ΔH = -395kJ ΔH = +99kJ ΔH = -296kJ Enthalpy is a state function, so we don t care how we got here only where we started and ended up.
