Question | Answer |
---|---|
On the Kelvin Scale, water freezes at 273°K and boils at 373°K. | True |
Kinetic energy is related to molecular motion. | True |
Because molecules in a solution are very close to each other, they always move in an organized, non-random fashion. | False |
The fundamental SI unit of energy and heat is the calorie. | False |
The Calories in foods actually means kilocalories. | True |
The specific heat of water is lower than the specific heat of metals such as steel and silver. | False |
If the pressure remains constant, the higher the temperature, the more likely the substance is to be in the gas phase rather than the liquid phase. | True |
Water at 0°C can be found in the solid OR liquid phase. | True |
