7.2: Heat and Temperature
Concept Review Exercise
1. Describe the relationship between heat transfer and the temperature change of an object.
2. Describe what happens when two objects that have different temperatures come into contact with one another.
Answer
1. Heat is equal to the product of the mass, the change in temperature, and a proportionality constant called the specific heat.
2. The temperature of the hot object decreases and the temperature of the cold object increases as heat is transferred from the hot object to the cold object. The change in temperature of each depends on the identity and properties of each substance.

7.3: Phase Changes
Concept Review Exercises
- Explain what happens when heat flows into or out of a substance at its melting point or boiling point.
- How does the amount of heat required for a phase change relate to the mass of the substance?
- What is the direction of heat transfer in boiling water?
- What is the direction of heat transfer in freezing water?
- What is the direction of heat transfer in sweating?
Answers
1. The energy goes into changing the phase, not the temperature.
2. The amount of heat is a constant per gram of substance.
3. Boiling. Heat is being added to the water to get it from the liquid state to the gas state.
4. Freezing. Heat is exiting the system in order to go from liquid to solid. Another way to look at it is to consider the opposite process of melting. Energy is consumed (endothermic) to melt ice (solid to liquid) so the opposite process (liquid to solid) must be exothermic.
5. Sweating. Heat is consumed to evaporate the moisture on your skin which lowers your temperature.

7.4: Bond Energies and Chemical Reactions
Concept Review Exercises
- What is the connection between energy and chemical bonds?
- Why does energy change during the course of a chemical reaction?
- Two different reactions are performed in two identical test tubes. In reaction A, the test tube becomes very warm as the reaction occurs. In reaction B, the test tube becomes cold. Which reaction is endothermic and which is exothermic? Explain.
- Classify "burning paper" as endothermic or exothermic processes.
Answers
- Chemical bonds have a certain energy that is dependent on the elements in the bond and the number of bonds between the atoms.
- Energy changes because bonds rearrange to make new bonds with different energies.
- Reaction A is exothermic because heat is leaving the system making the test tube feel hot. Reaction B is endothermic because heat is being absorbed by the system making the test tube feel cold.
- "Burning paper" is exothermic because burning (also known as combustion) releases heat
