Public Quiz: Unit 1 : Thermal Energy and Changes of Matter (Science) - Preparatory 2 - Science

Question 1

What does the Fuel Calorific Value represent?

The rate at which fuel consumes oxygen.

The amount of oxygen needed to burn 1g of fuel.

The energy produced from the combustion of 1g of fuel in excess oxygen.

The minimum temperature required for fuel ignition.

Question 2

Why does a candle flame go out when placed under a glass bell jar?

The temperature inside the jar increases significantly.

The carbon dioxide produced accumulates and smothers the flame.

The candle wax runs out quickly in a confined space.

The oxygen supply required for combustion is depleted.

Question 3

During the condensation stage of the refrigeration cycle, where is heat released?

To the food inside the refrigerator.

To the expansion valve.

To the compressor within the refrigerator.

To the surrounding medium behind the refrigerator.

Question 4

What type of chemical reaction allows fireflies to emit light from their bodies?

An exothermic chemical reaction converting most energy into light.

A decomposition reaction releasing heat only.

A neutralization reaction producing light.

An endothermic reaction that absorbs light.

True

False

Question 6

The reaction of magnesium with dilute hydrochloric acid is an endothermic process.

False

True

Question 7

Why are combustion reactions considered a type of oxidation-reduction reaction?

They always produce carbon dioxide and water.

They involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction processes.

They always generate light and heat.

They only involve an increase in oxygen content.

Question 8

True

False

Question 9

How does evaporation affect the thermal energy of its surroundings?
