10 Questions
Explain how chemical energy can be released during a chemical reaction.
Chemical energy stored by molecules can be released as heat during chemical reactions.
Give two examples of fuels that can release chemical energy when burned.
Methane, cooking gas, and coal are examples of fuels that can release chemical energy when burned.
What are two ways in which the chemical energy released during a reaction can be used?
The chemical energy can be used to do mechanical work in an engine or to provide electrical energy through a galvanic cell.
What is the subject matter of thermodynamics?
The subject matter of thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations.
What does thermodynamics focus on when studying energy transformations?
Thermodynamics is based on the initial and final states of a system undergoing the change, rather than how and at what rate the energy transformations are carried out.
Which of the following correctly describes the release of chemical energy during a chemical reaction?
Chemical energy can be released as heat or used to do mechanical work during a chemical reaction.
What do the laws of thermodynamics deal with?
Energy changes of macroscopic systems involving a large number of molecules.
When do the laws of thermodynamics apply?
When a system is in equilibrium.
What is the primary focus of thermodynamics?
The initial and final states of a system.
What are the two main ways in which chemical energy released during a reaction can be used?
