Neither reactant is limiting; they are present in the exact stoichiometric ratio.

Question 8

During a gas law experiment, a student collects 1.00 L of a gas at 1.00 atm and 273 K. Using the ideal gas law $$ PV = nRT $$, how many moles of gas are present? (Use $$ R = 0.0821 \ \mathrm{L \cdot atm \cdot $$mol^{-1}$$ \cdot K$$^{-1}$$} )$$

Accepted Answer

$$ 0.0367 \ \mathrm{mol} $$

Question 9

Which of the following is a real-world example of a chemical reaction covered in CHM 151?

Accepted Answer

The rusting of iron in the presence of oxygen and water.

Question 10

A student is asked to calculate the enthalpy change ($$ \Delta H ) $$for a reaction using the equation $$ \Delta H = \sum \Delta H_{\mathrm{products}} - \sum \Delta H_{\mathrm{reactants}} . $$Which of the following best describes what $$ \Delta H $$ represents?

Accepted Answer

The heat absorbed or released during a chemical reaction at constant pressure.

Question 11

Which of the following is an example of applying appropriate mathematics to solve a real-world chemistry problem, as required by the course and program learning outcomes?

Accepted Answer

Estimating the number of molecules in a sample using Avogadro's number: $$ N = n 	imes N_A $$

Question 12

A student is preparing a solution by dissolving 10.0 g of NaCl in enough water to make 500 mL of solution. What is the molarity ($$ M ) of $$the solution? (Molar mass of NaCl = $$ 58.44 \ \mathrm{g/mol} )$$

Accepted Answer

$$ 0.342 \ \mathrm{M} $$

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the concept of periodicity as covered in CHM 151?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Covalent bonding

Question 15

A student is asked to identify a chemical reaction that is exothermic. Which of the following reactions is most likely to be exothermic?
