Questions and Answers

What is the primary condition under which most chemical reactions are conducted in the laboratory?

  • Constant pressure (correct)
  • Variable pressure
  • Constant temperature
  • Constant volume

How is the change in internal energy (ΔE) defined during reactions conducted at constant volume?

  • It is the heat change without any external work being performed. (correct)
  • It is the work done by the system on the surroundings.
  • It is equivalent to the heat change at constant pressure.
  • It measures the total energy absorbed and released during a reaction.

Enthalpy

A thermodynamic concept used to study heat changes in reactions at constant pressure and temperature.

Constant Volume

A condition where the volume of the system remains the same during a chemical reaction.

Constant Pressure

A condition where the pressure of the system remains the same during a chemical reaction.

ΔE

Change in internal energy, the heat change in a reaction at constant volume.
