Thermochemistry

How can the heat of reaction be determined from the standard heats of formation of the reactants and products?

Reactants ---------> Products

• Add the standard heats of formation of the reactants and the products.

• Multiply the standard heats of formation of the reactants by that of the products.

• Subtract the standard heats of formation of the reactants from that of the products.

• Subtract the standard heats of formation of the products from that of the reactants.

Is the flow of energy during vaporizing more like the flow of energy during melting or during freezing?

• It is more like the flow of energy during melting because both processes absorb energy.

• It is more like the flow of energy during freezing because both processes absorb energy.

• It is more like the flow of energy during melting because both processes release energy.

• It is more like the flow of energy during freezing because both processes release energy.

How does the flow of energy during freezing compare with the flow of energy during melting?

• In each process, energy flows into the material undergoing the change.

• In each process, energy flows out of the material undergoing the change.

• Energy flows into a substance that is freezing and out of a substance that is melting.

• Energy flows out of a substance that is freezing and into a substance that is melting.

A hot piece of metal is placed into cooler water. Which statement describes how the second law of thermodynamics relates to this process?

• The temperature change of the metal is equal to the temperature change of the water.

• The amount of energy lost by the metal is equal to the amount of energy gained by the water.

• Energy flows from the metal to the water until they are at the same temperature.

• Energy flows from the water to the metal until they are at the same temperature.
