2.
Why is enthalpy more useful than internal energy in neutralization at constant pressure?

Internal energy is undefined
C.
Internal energy is too large
D.
Enthalpy is smaller
ANSWER :
A. At constant P, q_p = ΔH directly (easy to measure with simple calorimeter)
3.

A.
Only at the end
B.
Only at maximum
C.
At constant intervals during reaction only
D.
At regular intervals before, during, and after mixing
ANSWER :
D. At regular intervals before, during, and after mixing
5.

B.
Weak acid + Strong base
C.
Strong acid + Strong base
D.
Strong acid + Weak base
ANSWER :

6.
Why does specific heat of dilute solution closely match that of pure water?
A.
All solutions are equal
B.
Solution is mostly water (>95% by mass for dilute); solute contribution is small
C.
Salt has same specific heat
