Q

“Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change, connected therewith, occurring at the same time.”

A

The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Rodulf Clausius)

18
Q

“It is impossible for a self-acting machine, unaided by any external agency, to convey heat from one body to another at a higher temperature.
It is impossible, by means of inanimate material agency, to derive mechanical effect from any portion of matter by cooling it below the temperature of the coldest of the surrounding objects.”

A

The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Lord Kelvin)

19
Q

“Every process occurring in nature proceeds in the sense in which the sum of the entropies of all bodies taking part in the process is increased. In the limit, i.e. for reversible processes, the sum of the entropies remains unchanged.”

A

The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck)

20
Q

“As the energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it, is wasted. Basically restricts the inter-conversion between heat and work.”

A

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

21
Q

T or F. The entropy of any isolated system always increases

A

True

22
Q

T or F. Isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermal equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy of the system.

A

True

23
Q

T or F. the entropy of the universe (the ultimate isolated system) only decreases and never increases.

A

False

24
Q

The measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. The concept of _____ provides deep insight into the direction of spontaneous change for many everyday phenomena.

A

entropy

25
Q

“The entropy of a system approaches a constant value when its temperature approaches absolute zero.”

A

The third law of Thermodynamics

26
Q

___________ in chemistry, the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds. It is often expressed in terms of either the concentration (amount per unit volume) of a product that is formed in a unit of time or the concentration of a reactant that is consumed in a unit of time.

A

Reaction rate

27
Q

, says that atoms, ions, and molecules can form a chemical bond when they collide, provided the particles have enough kinetic energy. Particles lacking the necessary kinetic energy to react still collide, but simply bounce.

A

Collision theory

28
Q

___________- is a barrier that the reactants must cross to be converted to products.

A

activation energy

29
Q

Molecules must collide with the proper orientation. A collision that meets these two criteria, and that results in a chemical reaction, is known as a _______________________

A

successful collision or an effective collision

30
Q

T or F. Molecules must collide before they can react

A

True

31
Q

T or F. Usually, raising the temperature speeds up a reaction. Lowering the temperature usually slows reactions down.

A

True

32
Q

T or F. At lower temperatures, the motions of the reactant particles are more chaotic and more energetic than at higher temperatures.

A

False

33
Q

T or F. The number of reacting particles in a given volume doesn’t affect the rate at which reactions occur.

A

False

34
Q

T or F. Cramming more particles into a fixed volume increases the collision frequency. Therefore increasing the concentration of reactants increases the reaction rate.

A

True

35
Q

T or F. The total surface area of a solid or liquid reactant has an important effect on the reaction rate.

A

True
