SHORT ANSWER
23. ANS:
Due to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the total amount of energy in the system must remain constant;
consequently, the enthalpy change of the system must be equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign to the
energy released to or absorbed from the surroundings.
REF: K/U
OBJ: 5.1
LOC: EC2.02
24. ANS:
Hess's law is a method of determining the enthalpy of a 'target' reaction from two or more reactions for which
the enthalpy change is known.
By adding the enthalpy changes of the known reactions, the enthalpy of the 'target' reaction can be calculated.
Example:
REF: C
OBJ: 5.4
LOC: EC1.02
25. ANS:
- no heat is transferred between the calorimeter and the outside environment
- any heat absorbed or released by the calorimeter materials, such as the container, is negligible
- a dilute aqueous solution is assumed to have a density and specific heat capacity equal to that of pure water
REF: C
OBJ: 5.2
LOC: EC2.03
26. ANS:
No. Since the water and sand have very different heat capacities, they would contain significantly different
amounts of heat energy.

ESSAY
31. ANS:
Advocates:
- has low uranium fuel costs, including transportation
- causes very little air pollution, such as green house and acid gases
-
reduces our dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation, allowing those materials to be used for
other purposes.
Opponents:
- the possible release of radioactive materials in a reactor malfunction
- the difficulty of disposing of the highly toxic radioactive wastes
- the large capital costs of building nuclear reactors and then decommissioning them at the end of their
relatively short lifetime
- unknown health effects of long-term low level exposure to radiation
- thermal pollution from cooling water
