Accepted Answer

$$5.0\%$$

Question 7

Which of the following best describes a double displacement (replacement) reaction?

Accepted Answer

Two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.

Question 8

A gas occupies 2.0 L at 1.0 atm and 300 K. What will its volume be at 2.0 atm and 400 K? (Use the combined gas law.)

Accepted Answer

$$V_2$$ = \frac{(1.0)(2.0)}{300} 	imes \frac{400}{2.0} = 1.33\ \mathrm{L}$$

Question 9

Which of the following statements about strong acids is correct?

Accepted Answer

Strong acids completely ionize in water.

Question 10

A solution has a pH of 3.25. What is the hydronium ion concentration $$[\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+]$$?

Accepted Answer

$$[\mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{O}^+] = 10$$^{-3.25}$$\ \mathrm{M}$$

Question 11

Which of the following best describes the difference between an Arrhenius base and a Bronsted-Lowry base?

Accepted Answer

An Arrhenius base produces OH$$^- in $$water, while a Bronsted-Lowry base accepts H$$^+.$$

Question 12

A 0.50 mol sample of NaOH is dissolved to make 2.0 L of solution. What is the molarity of the solution?

Accepted Answer

$$0.25\ \mathrm{M}$$

Question 13

Which of the following is a property of a solution that contains a non-electrolyte solute?

Accepted Answer

It does not conduct electricity because the solute does not form ions.

Question 14

Which of the following best explains why heating a gas increases its pressure (if volume is constant)?

Accepted Answer

The average kinetic energy of gas particles increases, causing more frequent and forceful collisions with the container walls.

Question 15

A student wants to prepare 100.0 mL of a 0.50 M NaCl solution from a 2.0 M stock solution. What volume of the stock solution should be used?

Accepted Answer

$$25.0\ \mathrm{mL}$$

Which of the following is the correct balanced equation for the reaction: sodium chloride solution reacts with silver nitrate solution to form silver chloride solid and sodium nitrate solution?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{NaCl}(aq) + \mathrm{AgNO}_3(aq) \rightarrow \mathrm{AgCl}(s) + \mathrm{NaNO}_3(aq)$$

Question 17

A solution has $$[\mathrm{OH}^-] = 1.0 	imes 10$$^{-5}$$\ \mathrm{M}. $$What is the pH of the solution at 25$$^\circC$$?

Accepted Answer

$$pH = 9$$

Question 18

Which of the following best describes a supersaturated solution?

Accepted Answer

It contains more dissolved solute than is normally possible at that temperature.

Question 19

Which of the following is the correct molar mass of H$$_2SO$_4 ($$sulfuric acid)? (Atomic masses: H = 1.01, S = 32.07, O = 16.00)

Accepted Answer

$$2(1.01) + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 98.09\ \mathrm{g/mol}$$
