All 10 Questions

  1. A deep-sea hydrothermal vent releases superheated water into the frigid ocean. Why doesn't the entire ocean immediately reach a uniform temperature?
    A) Water is a perfect insulator and prevents all heat movement.
    B) Thermal equilibrium takes time as energy must transfer through massive volumes of water.
    C) The First Law of Thermodynamics forbids heat from moving in salt water.
    D) Cold water has zero internal energy and cannot absorb heat.
  2. In a closed system, if you add 400 J of heat and the system performs 150 J of work, the internal energy of the system increases by _______ Joules.
    A) 550
    B) 150
    C) 250
    D) 400
