Question 1

Which of the following best describes why NaBr is classified as an ionic compound, while CCl4 is not?

Accepted Answer

NaBr is composed of a metal and a nonmetal, resulting in electron transfer and ionic bonding, while CCl4 consists of only nonmetals sharing electrons.

Question 2

A sample of 10.0 g of five different elements is compared. Which element will have the fewest atoms in the sample, and why?

Accepted Answer

Cesium, because it has the largest molar mass, resulting in fewer moles and thus fewer atoms for the same mass.

Question 3

Which of the following is a correct application of significant figures when multiplying 9.040 by 0.0400?

Accepted Answer

The answer should have three significant figures, because both numbers have three significant figures.

Question 4

Question 6

How many moles are in $$2.16 	imes 10$$^{24}$$ atoms of silver ($$\mathrm{Ag}$$)? Use 6.022$$ 	imes $$10^{23} as $$Avogadro's number.

Accepted Answer

$$3.59$$ moles

Question 7

Which of the following sets contains species with the same number of electrons?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

A room measures $$11.0\ \mathrm{ft} 	imes 11.0\ \mathrm{ft}$$ with a $$10.0\ \mathrm{ft}$$ ceiling. If the density of air is $$1.19\ \mathrm{g/L}$$, what is the mass of air in the room in kilograms? ($$1\ \mathrm{in} = 2.54\ \mathrm{cm}$$, $$1\ \mathrm{L} = 10^3$\ \mathrm{cm^3$})$$

Accepted Answer

$$40.8\ \mathrm{kg}$$

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct empirical formula for a compound that is $$62.0\% C$$, $$10.4\% H$$, and $$27.5\% O by $$mass?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{C_3H_6O}$$

Question 10

A chemical reaction is performed: $$\mathrm{CH_4$} + 2\mathrm{O_2$} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO_2$} + 2\mathrm{H_2O}. If$$ $$0.80\ \mathrm{g} of $$methane reacts with $$3.2\ \mathrm{g} of $$oxygen to produce $$2.2\ \mathrm{g} of $$carbon dioxide, what mass of water is formed?

Accepted Answer

$$1.8\ \mathrm{g}$$

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct chemical formula for barium nitrite?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Ba(NO_2$)_2}$$
