5. Which of the following decreases on descending group 1 of the periodic table?

Explanation

The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom. As we descend group 1 of the periodic table, the atomic size increases due to the addition of new energy levels. This increase in atomic size leads to a decrease in the attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electron, making it easier to remove. Therefore, the first ionization energy decreases on descending group 1 of the periodic table.

7.
When 224 g of oxygen reacts completely with NH3(g) according to the reaction equation shown above, what mass of ammonia is consumed?

Explanation

When 224 g of oxygen reacts completely with NH3(g), the balanced equation shows that the ratio of oxygen to ammonia is 1:2. This means that for every 1 mole of oxygen consumed, 2 moles of ammonia are consumed. Since the molar mass of oxygen is 32 g/mol, 224 g of oxygen is equal to 7 moles. Therefore, 7 moles of oxygen would react with 14 moles of ammonia. The molar mass of ammonia is 17 g/mol, so 14 moles of ammonia would weigh 238 g. Therefore, the mass of ammonia consumed would be 238 g.

Submit

How many moles of Cl2(g) are required to to completely reduce 4 moles of FeTiO3(s) according to the equation shown. 

Explanation

In the given equation, it is not mentioned explicitly how many moles of Cl2(g) are required to completely reduce 1 mole of FeTiO3(s). However, based on the stoichiometry of the equation, we can infer that 4 moles of FeTiO3(s) will require an equal number of moles of Cl2(g) to completely reduce it. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 moles.

11. The correct order for increasing boiling point among the noble gases is:
1. He2. Ne3. Ar 4. Kr 5. Xe 
The phenomenon is best explained in terms of: 

Explanation

The correct order for increasing boiling point among the noble gases is due to the London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces and occur between all molecules, including noble gases. These forces are caused by temporary fluctuations in the electron distribution, creating temporary dipoles. The larger the atom, the more electrons it has and the stronger the London dispersion forces. Therefore, as the atomic number increases from helium to xenon, the boiling point increases due to the increasing strength of the London dispersion forces.

Submit
12. Which of the following hydrocarbons has the highest boiling point? 
 
(A) C4H10(B) These are all gases and do not boil(C) CH4(D) C2H6(E) C3H8

Explanation

The hydrocarbon with the highest boiling point is C4H10 (option A). This is because C4H10, also known as butane, has a larger number of carbon atoms compared to the other options. As the number of carbon atoms increases, the intermolecular forces, such as London dispersion forces, also increase. These forces require more energy to break, resulting in a higher boiling point. In contrast, options C, D, and E have fewer carbon atoms and therefore weaker intermolecular forces, leading to lower boiling points. Option B is incorrect as it states that all the hydrocarbons are gases and do not boil, which is not true.

Submit
13. Which of the following attributes is commonly associated with metals and metallic bonding?

Explanation

Metals are commonly associated with metallic bonding because metallic bonding involves the presence of labile, delocalized electrons. In metallic bonding, the outer electrons of metal atoms are not held tightly to individual atoms but instead form a "sea" of electrons that are free to move throughout the metal lattice. This delocalization of electrons allows metals to conduct electricity and heat well. It also gives metals their characteristic luster and malleability. Therefore, the attribute of metallic bonding involving labile, delocalized electrons is commonly associated with metals.

Submit
14. Glass is a(n)_______

Explanation

Glass is classified as an amorphous solid because it does not have a crystalline structure like other solids. Instead, its atoms are arranged randomly, giving it a disordered and non-repeating pattern. This lack of long-range order is what distinguishes glass from crystalline solids, which have a well-defined and repeating atomic arrangement. Despite its solid state, glass retains some of the characteristics of a liquid, such as the ability to flow slowly over time, which is why it is often referred to as a "supercooled liquid."

15.   If 17 g of H2O2(l) are completely decomposed according to the equation shown, what volume of oxygen gas would be produced at standard temperature and pressure?  

Explanation

When 17 g of H2O2(l) decomposes, it produces oxygen gas according to the given equation. To determine the volume of oxygen gas produced, we need to use the concept of molar volume at standard temperature and pressure (STP). The molar volume at STP is 22.4 L/mol. First, we need to calculate the number of moles of H2O2 using its molar mass. The molar mass of H2O2 is 34 g/mol. Therefore, 17 g of H2O2 is equal to 0.5 moles. According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of H2O2 produces 1 mole of O2. Therefore, 0.5 moles of H2O2 would produce 0.5 moles of O2. Finally, we can use the molar volume at STP to calculate the volume of O2 gas produced. 0.5 moles of O2 is equal to 0.5 * 22.4 L = 11.2 L. Therefore, the correct answer is 11.2 L.

Submit
16. Given that the half-life of Na-24 is 15.0 hours, how long will it take to form the amount of a sample of Na-24 to fall to 58% of its original value?

Explanation

The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of the substance to decay or change. In this case, the half-life of Na-24 is 15.0 hours. If the sample falls to 58% of its original value, it means that more than half of the substance has decayed. Therefore, it would take less than 15.0 hours for the sample to reach this point.

17.
If 2 moles of CH3CH2CHO is completely combusted in the presence of oxygen gas, how many moles of oxygen would be required?

Explanation

When CH3CH2CHO is completely combusted, it reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The balanced chemical equation for this combustion reaction is:

2 CH3CH2CHO + 7 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

From the balanced equation, we can see that 2 moles of CH3CH2CHO require 7 moles of O2. Therefore, if we have 2 moles of CH3CH2CHO, we would need 7/2 moles of O2. Simplifying this, we find that 2 moles of CH3CH2CHO requires 3.5 moles of O2. However, since the question asks for the number of moles of O2 required, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 4 moles.

Submit
18.

If 0.70 moles of NaHCO3(s) are decomposed according to the reaction equation above, how many moles of gaseous product will be formed?

Explanation

When 0.70 moles of NaHCO3(s) decompose, according to the reaction equation, a certain amount of gaseous product is formed. The question asks for the number of moles of gaseous product. The correct answer, 1.05 moles, suggests that the decomposition of 0.70 moles of NaHCO3(s) produces 1.05 moles of gaseous product.

Submit
19. Which of the following elements is most likely to have the ionization energies shown below?
First ionization energy = 799kJ/mol
Second ionization energy = 2,420 kJ/mol
Third ionization energy = 3,660 kJ/mol
Fourth ionization energy = 25,000 kJ/mol

Explanation

The given ionization energies increase in each successive ionization, indicating that it is becoming increasingly difficult to remove an electron from the element. This suggests that the element has a relatively low number of valence electrons, as valence electrons are easier to remove than inner electrons. Among the given options, Boron (B) is most likely to have this pattern of ionization energies, as it has 3 valence electrons.

Submit
20. How many moles of AgCl(s) will be produced if 17g of AgNO3(s) are added to 500.0 mL of a 0.5 M solution of KCl?

Explanation

When AgNO3 reacts with KCl, AgCl is formed. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

AgNO3 + KCl -> AgCl + KNO3

From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of AgNO3 reacts with 1 mole of KCl to produce 1 mole of AgCl.

To find the number of moles of AgCl produced, we need to calculate the number of moles of AgNO3.

Given that the mass of AgNO3 is 17g and the molar mass of AgNO3 is 169.87 g/mol, we can calculate the number of moles of AgNO3 using the formula:

moles = mass/molar mass

moles = 17g / 169.87 g/mol = 0.100 moles

Therefore, 0.10 moles of AgCl will be produced.

21.

If 100.0 mL each of a 0.1 M solution of FeSO4 and a 0.1 M solution of Ba(NO3)2 are mixed, what will be the final concentration of NO3- ion in solution?

Explanation

When a 0.1 M solution of FeSO4 and a 0.1 M solution of Ba(NO3)2 are mixed, a double displacement reaction occurs. This results in the formation of Fe(NO3)2 and BaSO4. Since Fe(NO3)2 dissociates completely in water, it will release two NO3- ions for every one Fe(NO3)2 molecule. Therefore, the final concentration of NO3- ions in the solution will be equal to the initial concentration of Ba(NO3)2, which is 0.1 M.

Submit
22. Which of the following is a potential IUPAC name for an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6O?

Explanation

Propanal is the correct answer because it is a potential IUPAC name for an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6O. The suffix "al" in Propanal indicates that it is an aldehyde, which is a type of organic compound that contains a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a carbon atom. Since the molecular formula C3H6O matches the formula for Propanal, it is the most appropriate choice among the given options.

Submit
23. Which of the following is NOT an endothermic process?

Explanation

Crystallization is the process of forming solid crystals from a solution or a melt. It is an exothermic process because it releases heat as the molecules come together to form a solid structure. This is in contrast to endothermic processes like sublimation, melting, vaporization, and combustion, which all require an input of heat energy to occur.

Submit
24. An example of an amorphous solid is:

Explanation

An example of an amorphous solid from the options given is plastic. Amorphous solids lack a regular, ordered atomic structure and instead have a random arrangement of atoms or molecules. Plastic is a common example of an amorphous solid due to its non-crystalline structure, unlike substances like quartz or ice, which are crystalline solids with a well-defined atomic arrangement.

If 50.0 mL of a 0.60 M solution of AgC2H3O2 is added to 50.0 mL of a 0.60 M solution of Li2CO3, what will be the final concentration of CO3-2 ion in solution?

Explanation

When 50.0 mL of a 0.60 M solution of AgC2H3O2 is added to 50.0 mL of a 0.60 M solution of Li2CO3, a double displacement reaction occurs. The silver ions (Ag+) from AgC2H3O2 react with the carbonate ions (CO3-2) from Li2CO3 to form a precipitate of silver carbonate (Ag2CO3). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2AgC2H3O2 + Li2CO3 -> Ag2CO3 + 2LiC2H3O2. Since the concentration of AgC2H3O2 is 0.60 M and the volume is 50.0 mL, the moles of AgC2H3O2 is 0.60 M x 0.050 L = 0.03 moles. According to the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, 0.03 moles of AgC2H3O2 will react with 0.03 moles of Li2CO3, which is also 0.60 M x 0.050 L = 0.03 moles. Therefore, the final concentration of CO3-2 ion in solution is 0.03 moles / (50.0 mL + 50.0 mL) = 0.03 M.

Submit
26.

Which of the following does not occur in the reaction above?

Explanation

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of nitrogen increases from -3 to 0, indicating that it gains electrons and is reduced. The oxidation state of oxygen remains the same at -2, indicating that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is that the oxidation state of oxygen does not decrease.

Submit
27. Which of the following is equal to the buoyant force of a rock placed in a beaker of water?

Explanation

The buoyant force experienced by an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In this case, the rock placed in the beaker of water displaces a certain volume of water, and the buoyant force acting on the rock is equal to the weight of that displaced water. Therefore, the correct answer is "Weight of displaced fluid".

Submit

(A) SiCl4
(B) NH3
(C) CH4
(D) H2O
(E) SF6

Explanation

The correct answer is B because NH3 has a trigonal pyramidal shape with a lone pair of electrons on the central nitrogen atom. This lone pair of electrons results in the formation of three sigma bonds and one lone pair, indicating sp3 hybridization.

Submit
31. Which of the following molecules is polar (i.e. has a dipole moment)?

(A) CO2
(B) HF
(C) CCl4
(D) SF6
(E) BCl3

Explanation

BCl3 is the correct answer because it is a trigonal planar molecule with a central boron atom bonded to three chlorine atoms. The chlorine atoms are more electronegative than boron, causing the molecule to have a net dipole moment. CO2 is a linear molecule with symmetric polar bonds, resulting in a nonpolar molecule. HF is a polar molecule due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine. CCl4 is a tetrahedral molecule with symmetric polar bonds, resulting in a nonpolar molecule. SF6 is an octahedral molecule with symmetric polar bonds, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
