Question 1

Which of the following best explains why water has a much higher boiling point than methane, even though both are small molecules?

Accepted Answer

Water molecules form strong hydrogen bonds, while methane molecules only experience London dispersion forces.

Question 2

Which equation correctly relates the heat required to change the temperature of a substance to its mass, specific heat, and temperature change?

Accepted Answer

$q = m 	imes c 	imes \Delta T$

Question 3

A solution is prepared by dissolving NaCl in water. Which type of intermolecular force is primarily responsible for the interaction between NaCl and water molecules?

Accepted Answer

Ion-dipole forces

Question 4

Which of the following statements about vapor pressure is correct?

Accepted Answer

Vapor pressure increases as temperature increases.

Question 5

Which of the following is NOT a colligative property?

Accepted Answer

Color change

Question 6

A student heats 100 g of ice at $-10^\circ \mathrm{C}$ to steam at $110^\circ \mathrm{C}$. Which steps must be considered to calculate the total energy required?

Accepted Answer

Heating the ice, melting the ice, heating the water, vaporizing the water, heating the steam

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the effect of a catalyst on a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

It lowers the activation energy, increasing the reaction rate.

Question 8

Which equation represents the rate law for a reaction that is first order in A and second order in B?

Accepted Answer

$	ext{rate} = k[A][B]^2$

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct expression for Raoult's Law for an ideal solution?

Accepted Answer

$P_{	ext{solution}} = X_A P_A^\circ + X_B P_B^\circ$

Question 10

Which of the following factors will NOT increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

Decreasing the concentration of reactants

Question 11

Which of the following best explains why ionic compounds have higher melting points than molecular compounds?

Accepted Answer

Ionic bonds are much stronger than intermolecular forces in molecular compounds.

Question 12

A solution is saturated when:

Accepted Answer

It contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature.

Question 13

Which of the following is the correct formula for freezing point depression?

Accepted Answer

$\Delta T_f = i K_f m$

Question 14

Which of the following statements about the phase diagram of water is correct?

Accepted Answer

The solid-liquid boundary has a negative slope, indicating that ice melts under pressure.

Question 15

Which of the following is the correct integrated rate law for a first-order reaction?

Accepted Answer

$\ln [A] = -kt + \ln [A]_0$

Question 16

Which of the following is a correct statement about the effect of temperature on reaction rate?

Accepted Answer

Increasing temperature increases the reaction rate by providing more molecules with energy greater than the activation energy.

Question 17

Which of the following is the correct expression for the equilibrium constant $K$ for the reaction $aA + bB \rightarrow cC + dD$?

Accepted Answer

$K = \frac{[C]^c [D]^d}{[A]^a [B]^b}$

Question 18

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the osmotic pressure of a solution?

Accepted Answer

$\Pi = iMRT$

Question 19

Which of the following best describes the difference between intramolecular and intermolecular forces?

Accepted Answer

Intramolecular forces hold atoms together within a molecule, while intermolecular forces act between molecules.
