Understanding the basics of thermal chemistry.

1. The Second Law of Thermodynamics indicates that a system_______.

a. tends to convert energy into matter.

b. will tend to gain useful energy

c. can become more ordered only if energy is added

d. inevitably becomes more disordered

e. can convert heat into work, but cannot convert work into heat

2. If ATP transfers energy to a muscle protein, the total of the energy released from the ATP_________.

a. can be used by the muscle to perform work

b. will include energy used to do work and energy released as heat

c. will be released as heat

d. will include energy used to do work and energy that is destroyed in the transfer

e. is greater than the amount of energy added to the ATP during its synthesis

3. The synthesis of a protein from its component amino acids______ violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics because_______.
