Accepted Answer

$$0.684\ \mathrm{M}$$

Question 6

Which of the following best describes the process of sublimation?

Accepted Answer

A solid changes directly to a gas; this process is endothermic.

Question 7

Which of the following statements about the kinetic molecular theory is correct?

Accepted Answer

The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

2.87

Question 9

Which of the following is the correct equilibrium expression for the reaction: $$\mathrm{N_2$(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$K_c = \dfrac{[NH_3$]^2}{[N_2$][H_2$]^3}$$

Question 10

A 50.0 mL sample of 0.200 M HCl is titrated with 0.100 M NaOH. What volume of NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point?

Accepted Answer

$$100.0\ \mathrm{mL}$$

Question 11

Which of the following best explains why water has a higher boiling point than methane ($$\mathrm{CH_4$}$$)?

Accepted Answer

Water forms hydrogen bonds, which are stronger than the London dispersion forces in methane.

Question 12

A sample of gas at 25.0 $$^\circC $$and 1.00 atm has a volume of 10.0 L. How many moles of gas are present? ($$R = 0.0821\ \mathrm{L\ atm\ $$mol^{-1}$$\ K$$^{-1}$$})$$

Accepted Answer

$$0.409\ \mathrm{mol}$$

Question 13

Which of the following solutions will have the lowest freezing point? (Assume all are aqueous and fully dissociate.)

Accepted Answer

0.10 m $$\mathrm{$$CaCl_2$$}$$

Question 14

Which of the following is a correct statement about the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature?

A reaction has a $$\Delta H = -250\ \mathrm{kJ}. $$Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

The reaction is exothermic and releases 250 kJ of heat.

Question 16

Which of the following is the correct net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous solutions of NaOH and HCl?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{H^+ (aq) + OH^- (aq) \rightarrow H_2O (l)}$$

Question 17

A 100.0 g sample of water at $$25.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C} is $$heated to $$75.0\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}. If $$the specific heat of water is $$4.18\ \mathrm{J/g\ ^\circ C}$$, how much heat is absorbed?

Accepted Answer

$$20,900\ \mathrm{J}$$

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the effect of increasing the pressure on a gas at constant temperature (according to Boyle’s Law)?

Accepted Answer

The volume of the gas decreases.

Question 19

Which of the following is a Bronsted-Lowry base?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{NH_3$}$$, because it accepts a proton.
