The kinetic energy of a rolling billiard ball is given by KE = 1/2 mv2. Suppose a 0.17 kg billiard ball is rolling down a pool table with an initial speed of 4.5 m/s. As it travels, it loses some of its energy as heat. The ball slows down to 3.8 m/s and then collides head-on with a second billiard ball of equal mass. The first billiard ball completely stops and the second one rolls away with a velocity of 3.8 m/s. Assume the first billiard ball is the system and calculate w , q , and E for the process.

If an endothermic reaction absorbs heat, then why does it feel cold to the touch?
An endothermic reaction feels cold to the touch because the reaction (acting here as the system) absorbs heat from the surroundings. When you touch the vessel in which the reaction occurs, you, being part of the surroundings, lose heat to the system (the reaction), which makes you feel cold. The heat absorbed by the reaction (from your body, in this case) does not increase its temperature, but rather becomes potential energy stored in chemical bonds.

Lighters are usually fueled by butane 1C4H102 . When 1 mole of butane burns at constant pressure, it produces 2658 kJ of heat and does 3 kJ of work. What are the values of H and E for the combustion of one mole of butane?
H represents only the heat exchanged; therefore, H = -2658 kJ . E represents the heat and work exchanged; therefore, E = -2661 kJ . The signs of both H and E are negative because heat and work are fl owing out of the system and into the surroundings. Notice that the values of H and E are similar in magnitude, as is the case in many chemical reactions.

We pack two identical coolers for a picnic, placing twenty-four 12-ounce soft drinks and 5 pounds of ice in each. However, the drinks that we put into cooler A were refrigerated for several hours before they were packed in the cooler, while the drinks that we put into cooler B were at room temperature. When we open the two coolers 3 hours later, most of the ice in cooler A is still present, while nearly all of the ice in cooler B has melted. Explain this difference.
The drinks that went into cooler B had more thermal energy than the refrigerated drinks that went into cooler A. The temperature difference between the drinks in cooler B and the ice was greater than the difference between the drinks and the ice in cooler A. More thermal energy was exchanged between the drinks and the ice in cooler B, which resulted in more melting.
The same reaction, with exactly the same amount of reactant, is conducted in a bomb calorimeter and in a coffee-cup calorimeter. In one measurement, qrxn = -12.5 kJ and in the other qrxn = -11.8 kJ . Which value was obtained in the bomb calorimeter? (Assume that the reaction has a positive V in the coffee-cup calorimeter.)
The value of qrxn with the greater magnitude (-12.5 kJ) must have come from the bomb calorimeter. Recall that Erxn = qrxn + wrxn. In a bomb calorimeter, the energy change that occurs in the course of the reaction all takes the form of heat ( q ). In a coffee-cup calorimeter, the amount of energy released as heat may be smaller because some of the energy may be used to do work ( w ).
