Which of the following is the best claim and justification based on the students’ observation? ‘A. An exothermic chemical change occurred because heat flowed from the contents of the beaker to the room. B. An exothermic physical change occurred because heat flowed from the contents of the beaker and the water on the board to the room. . An endothermic physical change occurred because the freezing of water is an endothermic process. D. An endothermic chemical change occurred because the temperature of the beaker and the water on the board decreased as heat was absorbed by the reaction.

SAMPLE PROBLEM 3 In the spring, blossoms on cherry trees can be damaged when temperatures fall below -2°C. When the forecast calls for air temperatures to be below ~5°C for a few hours one night, a farmer sprays his blossoming cherry trees with water, claiming that the blossoms will be protected by the water as it freezes. Which of the following is a correct. scientific justification for spraying water on the blossoms to protect them from temperatures below ~2°C? ‘A. Water on the blossoms will not freeze unless the air temperature falls significantly below ~5°C. B. Water is a good thermal conductor that transfers heat from the cold air to the blossoms, keeping the blossoms from going below ~2°C. C. The freezing of water is an endothermic process; thus, water that freezes on the blossoms absorbs heat from the atmosphere, which in tun keeps the blossoms above 0°C. D. The freezing of water is an exothermic process; thus, water that freezes on the blossoms releases heat to keep the blossoms at or above -2°C. = erergy asssetaied Entt alpy ll Qa change 2. =O ENERGY DIAGRAMS FOR CHEMICAL REACTIONS (WE SAW IN UNIT 5) a a seis mw (AH) Y eed “Products energy —--- absorbed Reaction Progress Potential Energy Potential Energy Reaction Progress Eothermic Frocess Endothermic Processes FOR PHYSICAL PROCESSES (WE SAW THIS IN UNIT 3) HEATING CURVE FOR WATKR ris tros rove Temperature Heat Energy Freezin Holl) —> Hols) + enegy eo.

B, The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did, but the metal lost the same amount of thermal energy as the water gained. G. The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did; therefore the heat capacity of the metal must be greater than the heat capacity of the water. D. The final temperature is less than the average starting temperature of the metal and the water; therefore the total energy of the metal and water decreased.

The student then adds 10.0 g of ice at 0.0°C, closes the container, and measures the temperature at different intervals. Part of the data is shown in the graph above. The student predicts that the temperature will continue to decrease then level out to a constant temperature. Which of the following best explains why the student’s prediction is correct? A. The H,O molecules initially in the ice and the molecules initially in the liquid will have the same average kinetic energy. B. The transfer of energy between the H,O molecules in the ice and liquid water stops once all the molecules are in the liquid phase. . Once all of the H,O molecules are in the liquid phase, the individual molecular speeds either increase or decrease until all the particles have the same speed. D. Once all of the HO molecules are in the liquid phase, collisions between them virtually stop as they reach an equilibrium distance from their neighboring molecules. SAMPLE PROBLEM 7 ‘A piece of Fe(s) at 25°C is placed into H,O()) at 75°C in an insulated container. A student predicts that when thermal equilibrium is reached, the Fe atoms, being more massive than the H,O molecules, will have a higher average kinetic energy than the H,O molecules. Which of the following best explains why the student’s prediction is incorrect? A. At thermal equilibrium, the less massive H,O molecules would have a higher average kinetic energy than the Fe atoms because they are more free to move than are the Fe atoms. B. At thermal equilibrium, the collisions between the Fe atoms and the H,O molecules would cease because the average kinetic energies of their particles would have become the same. C. At thermal equilibrium, the movement of both the Fe atoms and the H,O molecules would cease; thus, the average kinetic energy of their particles would have to be the same. D. At thermal equilibrium, the average kinetic energy of the Fe atoms cannot be greater than that of the H,O molecules; the average kinetic energies must be the same according to the definition of thermal equilibrium. ase change QUANTIFYING ENERGY CHANGES Ph Q=nH or Q= mH Qxm — dal m= 50g da.
