- As a child plays on a swing, at what point in her movement is her kinetic energy the greatest? At what point is potential energy at its maximum?arrow_forwardA book is held 6 feet above the floor and then dropped. Which statement is true? a.The potential energy of the book is converted to kinetic energy. b.The potential energy of the book is destroyed. c.Kinetic energy is created. d.The total energy of the system will not be conserved.arrow_forwardIn the following equation for a chemical reaction, the notation s, l, or g indicates whether the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state:2H2S(g)+3O2(g)2H20(g)+2SO2(g)+energy. Identify each of the following as a product or reactant: a SO2(g); b H2S(g); c O2(g); d H20(g). When the reaction takes place, is energy released or absorbed? Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?arrow_forward
- A _________ is a device used to determine the heat associated with a chemical reaction.arrow_forwardHow much heat is required to raise the temperature of 100. grams of water from 25C near room temperature to 100.C its boiling point? The specific heat of water is approximately 4.2Jperg-K. a.3.2104J b.32J c.4.2104J d.76Jarrow_forwardInsoluble AgCl(s) precipitates when solutions of AgNO3(aq) and NaCl(aq) are mixed. AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) rH = ? To measure the energy evolved in this reaction, 250. mL of 0.16 M AgNO3(aq) and 125 mL of 0.32 M NaCl(aq) are mixed in a coffee-cup calorimeter. The temperature of the mixture rises from 21.15 C to 22.90 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for the precipitation of AgCl(s), in kJ/mol. (Assume the density of the solution is 1.0 g/mL and its specific heat capacity is 4.2 J/g K.)arrow_forward
- A 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.arrow_forwardIs the Sun exothermic or endothermic? Is it any less exothermic or endothermic in the winter, as opposed to the summer?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an endothermic process? combustion of gasoline in a car engine i>sublimation of carbon dioxide: water condensing on a cold pipe freezing juice to make popsiclesarrow_forward
