#7

Which of the following statements is true regarding an endothermic reaction?

It releases heat to the surroundings
It absorbs heat from the surroundings
It neither absorbs nor releases heat
It depends on the specific reaction conditions
#8

What does a negative value of Gibbs free energy (∆G) indicate for a reaction?

The reaction is at equilibrium
The reaction is non-spontaneous
The reaction is spontaneous
The reaction is reversible
#9

Which of the following statements about Hess's Law is true?

It states that the enthalpy change of a reaction depends only on the initial and final states of the reactants
It allows the calculation of the overall enthalpy change for a reaction by summing the enthalpy changes for each step of the reaction
It describes the relationship between temperature and the equilibrium constant of a reaction
It is only applicable to ideal gases
#10

Zeroth law
First law
Second law
Third law
#11

What is the relationship between the standard enthalpy change (∆H°) and the standard internal energy change (∆U°) for a reaction at constant pressure?

∆H° = ∆U°
∆H° = ∆U° + PV
∆H° = ∆U° + P∆V
∆H° = ∆U° + nRT
