1. 1.

   Forming liquid water from hydrogen releases 286 kJ per mole of water. How much heat is released when 3 mol of water forms, Ari?

   858 kJ
2. 2.

   Burning methane releases 890.8 kJ per mole. How much heat is released when 2 mol of methane burns, Bo?

   1781.6 kJ
3. 3.

   Burning ethanol releases 1366.8 kJ per mole. How much heat is released when 0.5 mol of ethanol burns, Esme?

   683.4 kJ
5. 4.

   Using the diagram, what is ΔH for this reaction, Jun?

   • +80 kJ
   • +40 kJ
   • −40 kJ
6. 5.

   Using the diagram, what is the activation energy of the reverse reaction, Kira?

   Use the picture in question 4.

   • 80 kJ
   • 40 kJ
   • 130 kJ
7. 6.

   Using the diagram, is this reaction endothermic, Luz?

   Use the picture in question 4.

   • No: the hill is too tall
   • Yes: products are 40 kJ higher
   • No: products are 40 kJ lower
8. 7.

   Milo says a cold pack is exothermic because heat leaves the hand. Agree or disagree?

   • Disagree: the pack takes in that heat
   • Agree: cold things give off cold
   • Agree: heat leaves the hand, so it's exothermic
9. 8.

   Noah says a hand warmer is endothermic because the hand absorbs heat. Agree or disagree?

   • Disagree: the warmer gives out heat
   • Agree: the hand takes heat in, so it's endothermic
   • Agree: iron soaks up the warmth
10. 9.

    Pia says an exothermic reaction needs no energy to get started. Agree or disagree?

    • Disagree: it still has a hill
    • Agree: heat comes out, so nothing goes in
    • Agree: exothermic means no hill
11. 10.

    Per mole, methane burning has ΔH = −890.8 kJ and ethanol −1366.8 kJ. Which releases more heat per mole, Ren?

    • Methane
    • Ethanol
    • They release the same
