19. Which of the following best describes the first law of thermodynamics?
Energy always changes from a more useful, more concentrated form to a less useful, less concentrated form
In a closed system of constant mass, the energy involved in any physical or chemical change is neither created nor destroyed, but merely changed from one form to another
Heat always flows from a hot body to a cold body
Entropy of a system increases as the state of disorganization in the system increases
In a reversible process, the entropy of the system is constant, whereas in an irreversible process, the entropy of the system increases

31. An advantage of using natural gas, rather than oil, as a fuel is that natural gas is
Less of a contributor to global warming because it does not release CO2 when it burns
Less expensive because most reserves are in the US
More abundant because it is a by-product of photosynthesis
Cleaner because it burns more completely
Safer to store because it is a gas

39. Which of the following is a true statement concerning the production of electricity in conventional nuclear power plants using fission reactors
New nuclear power plants will be built without containment structures, due to the increased insulation in the reactor core
Thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy and then to electrical energy, as in coal-burning power plants
Regularly scheduled releases of radioactive gases during production are well below the maximum contamination levels set by the EPA
Nuclear production of electricity is much less expensive per KWh than production of electricity at a coal-burning or natural-gas fueled power plant
Storage of nuclear waste is no longer an issue, because power plants are now storing all wastes on-site in specialized containment units
