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?

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

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

   Use the picture in question 4.

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

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

   • Agree: cold things give off cold
   • Agree: heat leaves the hand, so it's exothermic
   • Disagree: the pack takes in that heat
8. 7.

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

   • Agree: iron soaks up the warmth
   • Disagree: the warmer gives out heat
   • Agree: the hand takes heat in, so it's endothermic
9. 8.

   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
10. 9.

    Making liquid water releases 286 kJ per mole; making water vapor releases 242 kJ. Why is there a difference, Tala?

    • Vapor forms more slowly
    • Condensing also releases heat
    • Vapor has no bonds in it
11. 10.

    H₂ + ½ O₂ → H₂O(l) has ΔH = −286 kJ. What is ΔH for 2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O(l), Zee?

    • −572 kJ
    • +572 kJ
    • −286 kJ
