Q: A 15.0 g sample of aluminum ($$c = 0.220 \ \mathrm{cal/g^\circ C}) is $$heated from $$15.0^\circ \mathrm{C} to$$ $$55.0^\circ \mathrm{C}. $$How much heat is required?

$$Q = 0.220 \times 15.0 \times (55.0 - 15.0) = 132 \ \mathrm{cal}$$

Q: A liquid sample of 2.70 kg at $$20.1^\circ \mathrm{C}$$ absorbs 134 kcal of heat. If the specific heat capacity is $$1.50 \ \mathrm{kcal/kg^\circ C}$$, what is the final temperature?

$$T_f = 20.1^\circ \mathrm{C} + \frac{134}{2.70 \times 1.50} = 53.0^\circ \mathrm{C}$$

Accepted Answer

Cr\_2(CO\_3)\_3

Question 8

Which of the following statements about London dispersion forces is correct?

Accepted Answer

They are present in all molecules, but are the only forces in nonpolar molecules.

Question 9

Balance the following chemical equation: $$(NH_4$)_2Cr_2O_7 \rightarrow Cr_2O_3 + H_2O + N_2$

Accepted Answer

$$(NH_4$)_2Cr_2O_7 \rightarrow Cr_2O_3 + 4H_2O + N_2$

Question 10

Which of the following best describes the energy change when a chemical reaction absorbs heat from the surroundings?

Accepted Answer

The reaction is endothermic and $$\Delta H is $$positive.

Question 11

Which of the following is a correct statement about the formation of ions?

Accepted Answer

Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations.

Question 12

A liquid sample of 2.70 kg at $$20.1^\circ \mathrm{C}$$ absorbs 134 kcal of heat. If the specific heat capacity is $$1.50 \ \mathrm{kcal/kg^\circ C}$$, what is the final temperature?

Accepted Answer

$$T_f = 20.1^\circ \mathrm{C} + \frac{134}{2.70 	imes 1.50} = 53.0^\circ \mathrm{C}$$
