FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT #2:

(1) Write example chemical reaction for each energy sources. There are lots of
materials/ substances for each type of energy source, just select one.
The chemical reaction should include the release of heat.
a. radiant (solar)
b. mechanical
c. thermal
d. electrical, and nuclear energy

(2) The kinetic energy of molecules is often used to induce chemical reactions. The
bond energy in an O2 molecule is 8.22×10–19 J.
a. Can an O2 molecule traveling at 780 m/s provide enough energy to
break the O=O bond?
 An O2 molecule travelling at 780 m/s cannot provide enough
energy to break the O=O bond.
Solution.
b. What is the minimum velocity of an O 2 molecule that would give a
kinetic energy capable of breaking the bond if it is converted with 100%
efficiency?

(3) Which system does more work:


(a)ΔE=–436J,q=400J; or (b) ΔE = 317 J, q = 347 J?
Show your solution. Explain the energy change and heat affect work.
 System B has done more work than system A.

(4) The energy densities of various types of coal are listed below.
Anthracite 35 kJ/g Bituminous 28 kJ/g
Subbituminous 31 kJ/g Lignite 26 kJ/g
An unknown sample of one of these coals is burned in an apparatus with a calorimeter
constant of 1.3 kJ/°C. When a 0.367-g sample is used, the temperature change is 8.75°C.
Which type of coal is the sample?
 A Subbituminous type of coal was used.
 Upon solving it seems that there is a 31KJ/g of stored in a Subbituminous
type of coal.

(5) An engineer is designing a product in which a copper wire will carry large amounts of
electricity. The resistive heating of a 65-g copper wire is expected to add 580 J of
heat energy during a 10-minute operating cycle. The specic heat of copper is 0.385 J
g–1 °C– 1, the density is 8.94 g/cm3, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is 16.6 μm
m–1 K–1.
(a) What is the temperature increase of the wire?

(b) What is the initial length of the wire, assuming it is a cylinder and its radius is
0.080 cm?
(c) By what percentage does the length increase because of the temperature
increase?

(d) Do you think the engineer should be considering this expansion in the design?
 The percentage of the expansion is not really that big and it should
not be a nuisance or a problem to be considered in the design.
(6) ΔHvap = 31.3 kJ/mol for acetone. If 1.40 kg of water were vaporized to steam
in a boiler, how much acetone (in kg) would need to be vaporized to use the
same amount of heat? (Brown & Holme Problem 9.49)
