Directions: Read and understand each item and choose the letter of the correct answer.
Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
1. What do you call the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction?
A. Activation energy. C. Reaction mechanism energy
B. Energy of the reaction. D. The entropy of reaction
2. Consider the reaction in # 13, how many moles of CO2 is produced in the reaction?
A. 5 B. 6 C.7 D.8
3. Which is/are necessary for successful collisions to occur?
I. Favorable collision geometry.
II. Sufficient kinetic energy.
III. Large change in enthalpy (∆H).
A. I only C. II and III only
B. I and II only D. I, II and III
4. For the reaction: C5H12 + 8 O2 → 5 CO2 + 6 H2O
If 2 moles of C5H12 & 8 moles of O2 react, what is the limiting reactant?
A. C5H12 B. O2 C. CO2 D. H2O
5. What is a limiting reactant?
A. The reactant that makes the product.
B. The reactant that is fully consumed prevents more products from being made.
C. The reactant that is used up last and prevents more products from being made.
D. The substance that is in excess that doesn't get used up as a reactant.
6. Crushing a solid into a powder will increase the reaction rate. Why?
A. The particles will collide with more energy.
B. The powdered form has more surface area.
C. The activation energy barrier will be lowered.
D. The orientation of colliding particles will be improved.
7. How does a catalyst makes a chemical reaction faster?
A. It makes lower energy pathways available.
B. It increases the concentration of products.
C. It increases the concentration of the reactants.
D. It binds to enzymes to release substrate.
8. Enzymes are an important component in the human body. Most chemical reactions do
not occur or will proceed slowly without enzymes. What are enzymes?
A. Biological Catalyst
B. Simple elements
C. Chemicals that increase the surface area
D. Molecules used to increase concentration.
9. Why does increasing the temperature of the reactants increase the reaction rate?
a. Heat energy increases the size of the molecules of reactants, and therefore the
molecules react more frequently.
b. Heat energy helps to lower the amount of overall energy that is required for the
reaction to occur.
c. Heat energy causes some of the reactants to evaporate, thereby increasing the
concentration of the reactants.
d. Heat energy causes the particles of the reactants to move faster, therefore, react
with each other more frequently.
2
