Question 9

Which abbreviation correctly represents an aqueous solution in a chemical equation?

Accepted Answer

$$(aq)$$

Question 10

A student writes the equation $$\mathrm{CH_4$(g) + O_2$(g) \rightarrow CO_2$(g) + H_2O(g)}. $$What is wrong with this equation?

Accepted Answer

It is not balanced; the number of hydrogen atoms is not equal on both sides.

Question 11

Which step is necessary to balance a chemical equation?

Accepted Answer

Change the coefficients in front of the compounds.

Question 12

If 2 moles of $$\mathrm{C_8H_{18}}$$ react with excess $$\mathrm{O_2$}$$, how many moles of $$\mathrm{H_2O}$$ are produced according to $$\mathrm{2C_8H_{18}(l) + 25O_2(g) \rightarrow 16CO_2(g) + 18H_2O(g)}$$?

Accepted Answer

18 moles

Question 13

What is the term for the numerical relationship between chemical quantities in a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

Stoichiometry

Question 14

Which of the following is a correct mole-to-mole conversion factor from the equation $$\mathrm{2C_8H_{18}(l) + 25O_2(g) \rightarrow 16CO_2(g) + 18H_2O(g)}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\dfrac{16\ \mathrm{mol}\ CO_2$}{2\ \mathrm{mol}\ C_8H_{18}}$$

Question 15

Why must the coefficients in a chemical equation be adjusted rather than the subscripts?

Accepted Answer

Changing coefficients alters the number of molecules, while changing subscripts changes the identity of the compounds.

Question 16

A reaction produces 10 moles of $$\mathrm{CO_2$}$$ from the combustion of $$\mathrm{C_8H_{18}}. $$How many moles of $$\mathrm{C_8H_{18}}$$ were burned?
