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

B.
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.

4.
In the cooling curve method, the temperature is recorded:
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.

A.
Weak acid + Weak base (CH₃COOH + NH₄OH ≈ -50.4 kJ/mol)
B.
Weak acid + Strong base
C.
Strong acid + Strong base
D.
Strong acid + Weak base
ANSWER :
A. Weak acid + Weak base (CH₃COOH + NH₄OH ≈ -50.4 kJ/mol)
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
D.
Dilution doesn't matter
ANSWER :
B. Solution is mostly water (>95% by mass for dilute); solute contribution is small
