What is a common misconception about 'chemicals'?

• Chemicals are always harmful

• Chemicals can only be found in laboratories

• All substances, including organic lettuce, are made of chemicals

• Only synthetic substances are chemicals

According to Einstein, what is the relationship between energy and mass?

• Mass and energy are the same thing

• Energy can be converted into mass only

• They are completely unrelated

• Mass can be converted into energy only

What does gravitational potential energy depend on?

• The temperature of the object

• The object's position or arrangement

• The object's speed

• The chemical composition of the object

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed

• Energy can be created but not destroyed

• Energy is always lost when work is done

• The total entropy of the universe always increases

What is the role of energy in chemical reactions?

• It is only released, never absorbed

• It can be either absorbed or released, affecting the reaction's direction

• It remains constant, ensuring the reaction's speed

• It is irrelevant to the process of chemical reactions
