Complete combustion of a 0.600-g sample of a compound in a bomb calorimeter releases 24.0 kJ of heat. The bomb calorimeter has a mass of 1.30 kg and a specific heat of 3.41 J/(gi°C). If the initial temperature of the calorimeter is 25.5°C, what is its final temperature?

How does the potential-energy diagram for a reaction indicate whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic? An endothermic reaction has reactants that are lower in energy than products because energy is absorbed to form the products. An endothermic reaction has reactants that are higher in energy than products because energy is released to form the products. An exothermic reaction has reactants that are lower in energy than products because energy is released to form the products. An exothermic reaction has reactants that are higher in energy than products because energy is absorbed to form the products.

Which reaction is exothermic?
a
Which statement about exothermic reactions is accurate? As reactants form products, the potential energy decreases. As reactants form products, the potential energy increases. Thermal energy is transferred from the product to the reacting substances. Thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the reacting substances.

Which statement defines calorimeter?
a
A baker touches a pie right after taking it out of the oven. Which statement best explains why the pie feels hot? Molecules in the skin move faster than molecules in the pie, so heat is transferred to the pie. Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the skin. Molecules in the skin move faster than molecules in the pie, so heat is transferred to the skin. Molecules in the pie move faster than molecules in the skin, so heat is transferred to the pie.

c
The diagram below shows the temperature dropping from 80°C to 20°C. mc002-1.jpg Molecules that have longer arrows are moving faster. Which statement describes what is happening in this system? Molecules vibrate more as temperature decreases. Temperature is not related to the average kinetic energy of a system. Kinetic energy decreases as temperature decreases. There is no change in average kinetic energy between these two systems.

wo different gases are stored in separate closed containers. If both gases have a temperature of 50°C, which statement is true? The thermal energies of gas molecules in the two containers are unrelated. The gas molecules in both containers will absorb heat from the surroundings. The molecules in one gas will transfer energy to the molecules in the other gas. The gas molecules in both containers have the same average kinetic energy.
