Accepted Answer

$$1.0\ 	ext{L}$$

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct net ionic equation for the reaction between aqueous solutions of NaCl and AgNO$$_3$$?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Ag}^+ (aq) + 	ext{Cl}^- (aq) ightarrow 	ext{AgCl} (s)$$

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the concept of limiting reactant in a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

The reactant that determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed.

Question 13

Which of the following is a correct application of Le Châtelier's principle?

Accepted Answer

Increasing the concentration of reactants will shift the equilibrium toward the products.

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the pH of a solution?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{pH} = -\log[	ext{H}^+]$$

Question 15

A buffer solution is prepared by mixing acetic acid and sodium acetate. What is the main function of this buffer in a biological system?

Accepted Answer

To maintain a relatively constant pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.

Question 16

Which of the following statements about solubility is correct?

Accepted Answer

Solubility of a solid in water generally increases with increasing temperature.

Question 17

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the number of moles from mass and molar mass?
