Q: A student measures the mass of a liquid as 25.0 g and its volume as 10.0 mL. What is the density of the liquid, and which equation should be used?

Density $= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{25.0\ \text{g}}{10.0\ \text{mL}} = 2.50\ \text{g/mL}$

Q: A sample of gas at 1.00 atm and 300 K occupies 2.00 L. If the temperature is increased to 600 K at constant pressure, what will be the new volume? (Use Charles' Law: $\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$)

$V_2 = \frac{V_1 \times T_2}{T_1} = \frac{2.00\ \text{L} \times 600\ \text{K}}{300\ \text{K}} = 4.00\ \text{L}$

Q: A student mixes 50.0 mL of 1.0 M NaCl with 50.0 mL of 2.0 M NaCl. What is the final concentration of NaCl in the mixture? (Assume volumes are additive)

$C_{final} = \frac{(1.0\ \text{M} \times 50.0\ \text{mL}) + (2.0\ \text{M} \times 50.0\ \text{mL})}{100.0\ \text{mL}} = 1.5\ \text{M}$

Q: A reaction produces 5.0 g of product, but the theoretical yield is 6.0 g. What is the percent yield?

$\text{Percent yield} = \frac{5.0\ \text{g}}{6.0\ \text{g}} \times 100\% = 83.3\%$

Q: A solution is prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of NaOH (molar mass = 40.0 g/mol) in enough water to make 500.0 mL of solution. What is the molarity of the solution?

$\text{Molarity} = \frac{\text{moles}}{\text{liters}} = \frac{\frac{10.0\ \text{g}}{40.0\ \text{g/mol}}}{0.500\ \text{L}} = 0.50\ \text{M}$

$	ext{Percent yield} = \frac{5.0\ 	ext{g}}{6.0\ 	ext{g}} 	imes 100\% = 83.3\%$

Question 12

Which statement about intermolecular forces is correct?

Accepted Answer

London dispersion forces are present in all molecules, regardless of polarity.

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the difference between empirical and molecular formulas?

Accepted Answer

Empirical formulas show the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms; molecular formulas show the actual number of atoms in a molecule.

Question 14

A solution is prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of NaOH (molar mass = 40.0 g/mol) in enough water to make 500.0 mL of solution. What is the molarity of the solution?
