1. (30%) Answer the following:
a. Kinetic energy is ______________energy. Potential energy is ______________ energy.
b. Energy is the ability to do __________, producing ____________ energy by increasing or
decreasing ____________.
c. Measuring a piece of paper in inches to use 2.54 cm = 1 in is ___________(kinetic or potential)
energy, but the conversion factor of 2.54 cm = 1 in is an example of an ______________
(extensive or intensive) property.
d. Hydrogen gas (H2(g)) trapped in a balloon is combustible when a flame is added. The gas has
______________(kinetic or potential) energy, and the explosion is ______________(kinetic or
potential) energy.
e. The pattern adabadabadab is an example of a ____________ (homogeneous or heterogeneous)
mixture; therefore the _____________ (remaining choice) mixture has ______________
(uniformed or not uniformed) patterns.
f. Aluminum (Al) has S = 0.9 and water (H2O) has S = 4.184. The units for S are __________ and
the better conductor is ____________ (Al or H2O).
g. Absolute zero (0) is ____________ oC and ____________ K.
h. Water moving from a liquid to ice is a ________________ (physical or chemical) property, in
which this example represents a _____________ kind of phase change.
i. Coulomb’s Law is the Energy and Force descriptions that relate a positive ___________(Hint:
“q”) and negative ___________ across a distance (“r”). In atoms, this distance (“r”) is the
distance that separates ___________ (Hint: form of Matter).

2. (20%) Calculate the thermal heat energy transfer (in J and kJ) of a substance, 15.00 g of Copper (Cu)
and a specific heat capacity of 0.39, that starts at 175 K and finishes at 325 K? What is the process that
occurs during this transfer?
 3. (20%) Calculate the wavelength (in m and nm) of a photon that has 2.15 x 10 -15 J.

4. (30%) An electron absorbs light energy moving it from the 2nd energy level to the 5th energy level.
a. What is the process that occurs with the movement of the electron? (Endothermic or
Exothermic – Think about the movement of the electron since that is the “process” or the action
taking place, other “actions” were the cause to move the electron (past tense))

b. Find the change of energy (∆E).

c. What was the frequency of the light energy that caused the electron to move?

_____ / 100%
