$V_2 = \frac{V_1 \times T_2}{T_1 \times P_2/P_1}$, so $V_2 = \frac{22.4 \times (273/2)}{273 \times 2}$, which gives $V_2 = 5.6$ L.

$M = \frac{5\text{ mol}}{2\text{ L}} = 2.5\text{ M}$

Photosynthesis: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{energy} \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

Question 1

Which of the following best explains why the Bohr model was an important step in the development of atomic theory?

Accepted Answer

It introduced the concept of quantized energy levels for electrons.

Question 2

A sample of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L. If the pressure is doubled and the temperature is halved, what will be the new volume of the gas?

Accepted Answer

$V_2 = \frac{V_1 	imes T_2}{T_1 	imes P_2/P_1}$, so $V_2 = \frac{22.4 	imes (273/2)}{273 	imes 2}$, which gives $V_2 = 5.6$ L.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes the difference between ionic and covalent bonding?

Accepted Answer

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Question 4

Which of the following is a correct application of Dalton's law of partial pressures?

Accepted Answer

The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas: $P_{total} = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + \ldots$

Question 5

A radioactive isotope has a half-life of 10 years. If you start with 80 grams, how much will remain after 30 years?

Accepted Answer

10 grams

Question 6

Which of the following reactions is an example of a redox reaction?

Accepted Answer

$2Na + Cl_2 \rightarrow 2NaCl$

Question 7

Which statement about the VSEPR model is correct?

Accepted Answer

It predicts the arrangement of atoms based on minimizing electron pair repulsion.

Question 8

A solution is prepared by dissolving 5 moles of NaCl in enough water to make 2 liters of solution. What is the molarity of the solution?

Accepted Answer

$M = \frac{5	ext{ mol}}{2	ext{ L}} = 2.5	ext{ M}$

Question 9

Which of the following best describes the process of nuclear fission?

Accepted Answer

A heavy nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy.

Question 10

Which of the following is a correct statement about the conservation of mass in chemical reactions?

Accepted Answer

The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

Question 11

Which of the following functional groups is present in alcohols?

Accepted Answer

Hydroxyl group ($-OH$)

Question 12

Which of the following best explains why water has a high boiling point compared to other molecules of similar size?

Accepted Answer

Water molecules form strong hydrogen bonds with each other.

Question 13

Which of the following is an example of an endothermic reaction?

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + 	ext{energy} ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

Question 14

Which of the following best describes the role of a catalyst in a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

It lowers the activation energy, increasing the reaction rate without being consumed.

Question 15

Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for the combustion of glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$)?

Accepted Answer

$C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O$

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the energy changes associated with the evaporation of water?

Accepted Answer

Evaporation is an endothermic process; energy is absorbed from the surroundings.

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct statement about the relationship between temperature and reaction rate?

Accepted Answer

Increasing temperature generally increases the reaction rate by increasing the frequency and energy of collisions.

Question 18

Which of the following is a correct application of the law of conservation of energy in a chemical process?

Accepted Answer

The total energy before and after a chemical reaction remains constant, though it may change forms.

Question 19

Which of the following is a correct statement about the greenhouse effect?

Accepted Answer

It is caused by certain gases trapping infrared radiation, warming the Earth's surface.
