The coating on the head of a match is highly flammable. When it burns, it releases a great deal of energy. However, before the match can burn, it must gain a small amount of energy from a spark. That spark is typically produced by striking (rubbing) the match head against a rough surface. Sketch and describe a potential energy diagram that represents the striking and burning of the match. Remember to label the diagram with the energy changes that occur. Your answer must include the potential energy diagram and a written description. (Note: you do not have to use actual energy values.)

Chemistry Questions & Answers

  State the formula that relates the temperature change

What is the formula that relates the temperature change obsereved in a substance with the energy released or abosrbed? when you measure a temperature rise during a chemical reaction, is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?

  State the beaker and the mass of the beaker plus the mixture

The mass of a 150 ml beaker was determined to be 82.123 g. A sand- salt mixture was placed in the beaker and the mass of the beaker plus the mixture was determined to he 86.246 g.

  State the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, T. But given the same kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule.
