Thermodynamics
What is the SI unit of pressure?
Pascal (Pa)
Newton (N)
Celsius (°C)
Joule (J)
How does adding salt to water alter boiling point elevation when using this solution under standard atmospheric conditions?
Boiling point elevates due to increased solute concentration causing greater impediment for solvent surface escape.
Boiling point decreases because dissolved ions enhance water molecule liberation by lowering cohesive forces among them.
Boiling point variations depend solely on external pressures applied regardless of solute presence or concentration levels within solvent.
Boiling point remains unaltered as salt does not influence vapor pressure significantly enough at macroscopic scales.
What final equilibrium condition must be met when two substances at different initial temperatures reach thermal equilibrium without phase change or chemical reaction?
They must have identical final temperatures but not necessarily equal amounts of heat transferred or equal changes in internal energy.
Their molecules achieve uniform average kinetic energy across both substances after sufficient time has passed for interaction.
They must adjust their states so that their entropies are maximized within constraints set by conservation laws.
They transfer equal amounts of heat between them until no net heat flow occurs between them anymore.
What is the term for the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference?
Heat
Work
Power
Impulse

Pascal (Pa)
Kelvin (K)
Watt (W)

During an exothermic reaction within an isolated system, how does enthalpy change for this system?
The enthalpy decreases because energy is released into surroundings.
Enthalpy varies unpredictably since it relies on both internal and external factors that cannot be measured easily.
The enthalpy increases because it absorbs energy from the surrounding environment.
There’s no change in enthalpy since its relation isn't direct with released energies but rather depends on work done by/on the system.
What happens to the total resistance in a series circuit when another resistor with resistance is added?
The total resistance increases by half of .
The total resistance increases by .
The total resistance decreases by .
The total resistance remains unchanged.
What hypothetical consequence might arise from halving Planck's constant within quantum mechanics perspective applied to thermodynamic processes close to absolute zero?
Thermodynamic systems may reach absolute zero more readily since lesser quantum restrictions allow closer approach towards ground state energetics.
Quantum effects such as superfluidity or superconductivity could manifest at higher temperatures than currently observed because characteristic quantum scales become larger relative to thermal scales.
Classical behavior dominates down to lower temperatures near absolute zero because quantized levels merge closer together requiring finer resolution for quantum distinction.
There'd be negligible effect since macroscopic thermodynamic properties are not sensitive to microscopic changes in Planck’s scale constants.
