Answer Questions
Directions:
Answer each question fully. Use complete sentences. Skip two lines
of notebook paper (double double space if typed) between each question.
Use only the front of paper.
- Explain
latent heat (use water as an example). Give quantitative examples and clearly explain how
intermolecular forces are involved during these changes.
- Discuss
how specific heat capacity might be used to identify an unknown
metal sample.
- Compare
and contrast endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions.
- Compare
and contrast kinetic and potential energy, using as many practical
examples as possible.
- Using
examples, explain fully elastic and inelastic collisions.
Try to include some of the problems these concepts cause in science
classes. Include momentum
in your discussion.
- Describe
how a liquid thermometer is made and how it could be calibrated
without another thermometer
- Explain
how chemical and physical properties might be used to identify an
unknown substance. Pick one
common substance and give physical/chemical details for it.
- Discuss
the way in which gas exerts pressure on the walls of its container.
- Explain
the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases as it relates to ordinary
life. Include examples of
Boyle’s Law and Charles’ Law in your explanation.
- Compare
intermolecular forces with chemical bonds within molecules.
- Discuss
atmospheric pressure and how it relates to gas laws, boiling
points, and vapor pressures.
- Explain
how conduction, convection, and radiation might occur when using
our calorimeters. Compare our
calorimeters with good Thermos bottles.
- Explain
fully melting-freezing point theory.
- Explain
fully boiling point theory and related phenomena such as elevation
changes, pressure cookers, super heating, and vapor pressure.
