If a scientist measures the temperature of water in a container surrounding a chemical reaction before and after the reaction, she is probably performing
a) Calorimetry
b) Electrophoresis
c) Distillation
d) Titration

In a calorimetry problem, what does C represent?
a) Specific heat of liquid
b) Joules of energy
c) Grams of water
d) Change in temperature

What term is used to describe the change in potential energy that accompanies a chemical reaction?
a) Endothermic
b) Delta H
c) Exothermic
d) PED

A positive change in potential energy indicates that energy was absorbed from the surroundings, thus lowering the temperature of the surroundings. This describes an
a) Elastic reaction
b) Equilibrium reaction
c) Exothermic reaction
d) Endothermic reaction

A decrease in potential energy (- delta H) indicates that energy was lost from the system and released into the surroundings, thus increasing the temperature of the surroundings. This describes an
a) Exothermic reaction
b) Endothermic reaction
c) Elastic reaction
d) Equilibrium reaction
