Accepted Answer

A nitrogen atom with three single bonds to hydrogen atoms and one lone pair on nitrogen.

Question 10

Which of the following best explains why ionic compounds tend to have higher melting points than covalent compounds?

Accepted Answer

Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions, requiring more energy to break.

Question 11

A $$5.00\ \mathrm{g}$$ sample of a hydrate of $$\mathrm{$$CuSO_4$$} is $$heated, and $$3.20\ \mathrm{g} of $$anhydrous $$\mathrm{$$CuSO_4$$}$$ remains. What is the percent by mass of water in the hydrate?

Accepted Answer

$$36.0\%$$

Question 12

Which of the following molecules has a trigonal planar electron geometry?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{BF_3$}$$

Question 13

Which of the following statements about the ideal gas law is correct?

Accepted Answer

It assumes that gas particles do not attract or repel each other and occupy no volume.

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct empirical formula for a compound containing $$40.0\%$$ carbon, $$6.7\%$$ hydrogen, and $$53.3\%$$ oxygen by mass?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{CH_2O}$$

Question 15

Which of the following best describes the effect of increasing the molar mass of a gas on its rate of effusion?

Accepted Answer

The rate of effusion decreases as the molar mass increases.

Question 16
