Term

Which of the following elements exists as a diatomic gas in its standard state and contains a double covalent bond?

A. Krypton

B. Oxygen

C. Nitrogen

D. Bromine

E. Chlorine

Definition

B. Oxygen

 

The seven diatomic molecules are hydrogen, nitrogen, fluorine,  oxygen, iodine , chlorine and bromine

 

The mnemonic is Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer

Term

Which of the following pairs are typically found in alkaline buffer solutions?

 

A) Weak base and its conjugate acid

B) Weak Acid and its conjugate base

C) Strong base and its conjugate acid

D) Strong acid and its conjugate base

Definition

A) Weak base and its conjugate acid

 

Typically weak bases and their conjugate acids are found in alkaline solutions ( pH>7)

 

Weak Acids and their conjugate bases are found in acid solutions (pH<7)

Term

Which of the following is true for a reaction occurring at 25°C that has a positive ΔH value?

 

A) The reaction will be spontaneous if ΔH<ΔS

B) The reaction will be spontaneous if ΔH>ΔS

C) The reaction will be spontaneous for any value of ΔH

D) The reaction will be non-spontaneous for any value of ΔH

Definition


A) The reaction will be spontaneous if ΔH<ΔS

 

For a reaction to be spontaneous ΔG must be negative meaning ΔH needs to be negative (exothermic) and disorder (a positive ΔS)



Term

Vaporization is which of the following types of processes?

 

A) Endothermic

B) Exothermic

C) Is a chemical change from solid to gas 

D) Is a chemical change from liquid to gas

E) Is a physical change from solid to gas

 

Definition

A) Endothermic

 

It is a liquid to gas physical phase change 

 

During vaporization bonds are broken as the molecules enter a less organized and higher entropic stage

Term

Which of the following is not an intermolecular force?

A) Van de Waals forces

B) Covalent bonds

C) Ion-dipole

D) London dispersion forces

E) Hydrogen bonds

 

 

Definition
B) Covalent bonds
Term
If a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen contains 1 mol of N2 and 2 mol of O2 and the total pressure is 180kPa. What is the partial pressure N2?
Definition

Step 1 :Obtain the mole fraction by dividing the moles of gas by the total moles in the system

Mole fraction of nitrogen is  1/3 

Step 2: Multiply the mole fraction by the total pressure

(1/3)*(180)= 60 kPa

Term

Which of the following BEST describes a Bronsted-Lowry base?

 

A) Proton Donor

B) Proton Acceptor

C) Electron pair donor

D) Electron pair acceptor 

Definition

B) Proton Acceptor

 

Bronsted Base = Proton acceptor

Bronsted Acid= Proton donor

 

Lewis acid = Electron Acceptor

Lewis Base= Electron donor

Term

A) Rate =k [A][B]

B) Rate=k[A][B]2

C) Rate=k [A]2[B]

D) Rate=k [A]2[B]2

Definition

The rate equation is Rate=k [A]x[B]y

 

First we compare 2 rates with a common factor like Rate 2 and Rate 1 that share the same [B] concentration.

[image]

When we simplify we get 16=4x where x=2

 

Next we do the same for for reagent B by comparing rates 3 and 1

 

[image]

When we simplify 4=2y which gives us y=2

If we combine the 2 we get D) Rate=k [A]2[B]2

Term

How many electrons are involved in the following basic redox reaction?

 

4Zn + NO3-+7OH- + 6 H2O → 4Zn(OH)42- +NH3

A) 2

B) 4

C) 6

D) 8

Definition

Since this a redox reaction we must break the reaction into oxidation and reduction half reactions

Oxidation : Zn →Zn(OH)42-

Reduction : NO3- → NH3

Then we balance the individual half-reactions. We first balance all non hydrogen and oxygen elements. Then add as much water as needed to balance the oxygens. Then add protons to balance the hydrogens. Then check charges and balance them.

 

This will reveal how many electrons are involved

Term

Which one of the following molecules is polar?

A) CCl4

B) PCl5

C) CO2

D) H2S

E) CH4

Definition

D) H2S

 

The SH bonds are different in electronegativity and this are polar.

Term

A point where the maximum temperature and pressure that allows gas  to remain at equilibrium between gaseous and liquid phase is known as __________.

 

A. Equivalence Point

B. Triple Point

C. Critical Point 

 

 

Definition

C. Critical Point
