Question 3

Which statement about the oxidation states of oxygen is correct?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Which of the following ions is isoelectronic with $$\mathrm{Al$$^{3+}$$}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Ne}$$

Question 5

Which statement about the atomic radius of gold ($$\mathrm{Au}) $$and silver ($$\mathrm{Ag}) is $$correct?

Accepted Answer

The atomic radius of $$\mathrm{Au} is $$smaller than that of $$\mathrm{Ag}$$ due to relativistic effects.

Question 6

Which of the following best describes the process of determining the activation energy using the Arrhenius equation?

Accepted Answer

Plot $$\ln k$$ versus $$1/T$$ and determine the slope, which equals $$-E_a/R.$$

Question 7

Given the following rate law: $$	ext{rate} = k[P]^2[Q]$$, what is the overall order of the reaction?

Accepted Answer

3

Question 8

Which of the following is the correct expression for the equilibrium constant $$K$$ for the sublimation of ice to water vapor?

Accepted Answer

$$K = \dfrac{p_{\mathrm{H_2O(g)}}}{p^\circ}$$

Question 9

Which formula correctly relates the standard Gibbs free energy change $$\Delta G^\circ to $$the equilibrium constant $$K$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta G^\circ = -RT \ln K$$

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct application of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to determine the enthalpy of sublimation ($$\Delta H_{sub}) $$from vapor pressure data?

Accepted Answer

$$\ln p = -\dfrac{\Delta H_{sub}}{R} \dfrac{1}{T} + C$$

Question 11

Which statement about the pH of a 1 mM oxalic acid solution, based on the speciation diagram, is correct?

Accepted Answer

The pH is closest to the value where $$\mathrm{H_2Ox}$$ and $$\mathrm{HOx^-}$$ concentrations are equal.

Question 12

Which of the following statements about the third ionization energy of magnesium is correct?

Accepted Answer

It is much larger than the first and second ionization energies because it removes an electron from a closed shell.

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct statement about the geometry of the monoborate anion ($$\mathrm{BO_3$^{3-}}$$)?

Accepted Answer

It is planar and has trigonal symmetry.
