Q: A sample of $$CO_2$$ gas is contained in a rigid 5.00 L vessel at 25°C and 2.00 atm. How many moles of $$CO_2$$ are present? ($$R = 0.0821\ \mathrm{L\cdot atm\cdot $$mol^{-1}$$\cdot K$$^{-1}$$})$$

$$n = \dfrac{PV}{RT} = \dfrac{2.00 \times 5.00}{0.0821 \times 298} = 0.41\ \mathrm{mol}$$

Q: A solution has $$[H_3O^+] = 2.5 \times 10$$^{-5}$$\ \mathrm{M}. $$What is the pH of the solution?

$$pH = -\log(2.5 \times 10$$^{-5}$$) = 4.60$$

Question 1

Which of the following statements best explains why the boiling point of water ($$H_2O) is $$much higher than that of methane ($$CH_4$$), even though both are small molecules?

Question 2

A sample of $$CO_2$$ gas is contained in a rigid 5.00 L vessel at 25°C and 2.00 atm. How many moles of $$CO_2$$ are present? ($$R = 0.0821\ \mathrm{L\cdot atm\cdot $$mol^{-1}$$\cdot K$$^{-1}$$})$$

Question 6

Which of the following is a correct Lewis structure for the nitrate ion, $$NO_3$$^-$$?

Accepted Answer

A structure with three resonance forms, each with one double bond to an oxygen and two single bonds, with a negative charge delocalized over the three oxygens.

Question 7

Which of the following statements about buffers is TRUE?

Accepted Answer

A buffer is most effective when $$[HA] \approx [A^-]$$ and $$pH \approx pK_a.$$

Question 8

Which of the following is the correct expression for the solubility product constant ($$K_{sp}) $$for $$CaF_2$$?

Accepted Answer

$$K_{sp} = [Ca$$^{2+}$$][F^-]^2$$

Question 9

A solution has $$[H_3O^+] = 2.5 	imes 10$$^{-5}$$\ \mathrm{M}. $$What is the pH of the solution?

Accepted Answer

$$pH = -\log(2.5 	imes 10$$^{-5}$$) = 4.60$$
