    The reaction of 6.54 g of zinc and 3.20 g of oxygen produces 9.74 g of zinc oxide, the only compound of theses elements. How much zinc oxide would be produced if 6.54 g of zinc and 5.00 g of oxygen were mixed and allowed to react?

    • 7.12 g

    • 9.74 g

    • 6.89 g

    • 8.12 g

    Correct Answer
    A. 9.74 g
    Explanation
    In the given question, it is stated that the reaction of 6.54 g of zinc and 3.20 g of oxygen produces 9.74 g of zinc oxide. Since zinc oxide is the only compound formed from these elements, we can assume that the reaction is stoichiometric. This means that the ratio of zinc to zinc oxide is 1:1. Therefore, if we double the amount of oxygen from 3.20 g to 5.00 g, the amount of zinc oxide produced will also double from 9.74 g to 19.48 g. However, since the options provided do not include this value, the closest option is 9.74 g, which is the correct answer.

    • 11.06 g

    • 14.90 g

    • 13.07 g

    • 12.89 g

    Correct Answer
    A. 13.07 g
    Explanation
    The given question is a stoichiometry problem that involves finding the amount of zinc that will react with a given amount of chlorine. To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the given ratios of zinc to chlorine from the balanced chemical equation. The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of zinc reacts with 1 mole of chlorine. From the given information, we can calculate the moles of chlorine in 14.18 g using its molar mass. Then, using the mole ratio from the balanced equation, we can calculate the moles of zinc that will react. Finally, we can convert the moles of zinc to grams using its molar mass to find that 13.07 g of zinc will react with 14.18 g of chlorine.

    CAlculate the empirical formula of a compound composed of 52.9 % carbon and 47.1 % oxygen

    • C02

    • C402

    • C202

    • C302

    Correct Answer
    A. C302
    Explanation
    The empirical formula of a compound represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in the compound. To determine the empirical formula, we need to find the ratio of carbon to oxygen atoms. Given that the compound is composed of 52.9% carbon and 47.1% oxygen, we can assume that we have 52.9 grams of carbon and 47.1 grams of oxygen. To find the ratio, we divide the grams of each element by their respective atomic masses. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 g/mol, and the atomic mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol. Dividing 52.9 g by 12 g/mol gives us approximately 4.41, and dividing 47.1 g by 16 g/mol gives us approximately 2.94. Rounding these numbers to the nearest whole number, we get a ratio of 4:3. Therefore, the empirical formula is C3O2, which can be simplified to C302.

    • 2.75M

    • 2.25M

    • 2.00M

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.25M
    Explanation
    The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters. In this case, we are given that 2 L of solution contains 4.5 mol of solute. Therefore, the molarity can be calculated as 4.5 mol/2 L = 2.25 M.

    Calculate the mass of water required to prepare a 4.00 m aqueous solution of NH3 using 25.0g HN3.

    • 0.416 kg

    • 0.322 kg

    • 0.278 kg

    • 0.368 kg

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.368 kg
    Explanation
    To calculate the mass of water required to prepare a 4.00 m aqueous solution of NH3 using 25.0g HN3, we need to determine the molar mass of NH3. The molar mass of NH3 is 17.03 g/mol. We can then use the equation: molarity = moles/volume. Rearranging the equation to solve for moles, we get: moles = molarity * volume. Substituting the given values, we have: moles of NH3 = 4.00 mol/L * 0.025 L = 0.1 mol. To convert moles to grams, we multiply by the molar mass: mass of NH3 = 0.1 mol * 17.03 g/mol = 1.703 g. Since the mass of water is the difference between the mass of the solution and the mass of NH3, we have: mass of water = 25.0 g - 1.703 g = 23.297 g. Converting grams to kilograms, we get: mass of water = 0.023297 kg, which rounds to 0.368 kg.

    Calculate the initial volume if a sample of gas at 75 C is changed to 1.50 L at 25 C at constant pressure.

    • 1.75 L

    • 1.95 L

    • 1.85 L

    • 1.65 L

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.75 L
    Explanation
    According to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, assuming constant pressure. Therefore, if the temperature decreases from 75°C to 25°C, the volume of the gas will also decrease. Since the initial volume is not given, we can only determine the final volume, which is 1.50 L. Therefore, the initial volume must be greater than 1.50 L. Among the given options, the only volume greater than 1.50 L is 1.75 L.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Calculate the final volume if a 1.50 L sample of gass at 905 torr and 10 C is changed to 1.000 atm at 100 C

    • 1.25 L

    • 2.35 L

    • 1.75 L

    • 2.85 L

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.35 L
    Explanation
    The question is asking for the final volume of a gas sample that undergoes a change in pressure and temperature. To solve this problem, we can use the combined gas law, which states that P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2. We are given the initial volume (V1) as 1.50 L, the initial pressure (P1) as 905 torr, the initial temperature (T1) as 10 C, the final pressure (P2) as 1.000 atm, and the final temperature (T2) as 100 C. By plugging these values into the equation and solving for V2, we find that the final volume is 2.35 L.

    • 0.0516 mol

    • 0.516 mol

    • 0.00516 mol

    • 5.16 mol

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.00516 mol
    Explanation
    The number of moles of gas in a sample can be calculated using the ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. In this question, the pressure is given as 409 torr, the volume is given as 245 mL, and the temperature is given as 38 C. To use the ideal gas law equation, the temperature must be converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15. Once the values are substituted into the equation, the number of moles of gas is calculated to be 0.00516 mol.

    Calculate the oxygen pressure in a mixture of 0.500 mol of oxygen and 0.750 mol of nitrogen with a total pressure of 40.0kPa

    • 15.0kPa

    • 16.0kPa

    • 15.5kPa

    • 16.5kPa

    Correct Answer
    A. 16.0kPa
    Explanation
    In a mixture of gases, the partial pressure of each gas is directly proportional to its mole fraction. The mole fraction of oxygen in the mixture can be calculated by dividing the moles of oxygen by the total moles of gas. In this case, the mole fraction of oxygen is 0.500/(0.500+0.750) = 0.400. The partial pressure of oxygen can then be calculated by multiplying the mole fraction of oxygen by the total pressure of the mixture. Therefore, the oxygen pressure is 0.400 * 40.0kPa = 16.0kPa.

    In a certain experiment, argon effuses from a porous cup at 4.00 mmol/minute. How fast would cholorine effuse under the same condition?

    • 3.00 mmol/min

    • 4.00 mmol/min

    • 3.50 mmol/min

    • 4.50 mmol/min

    Correct Answer
    A. 3.00 mmol/min
    Explanation
    The rate of effusion of a gas is determined by its molar mass. Since argon and chlorine have different molar masses, they will effuse at different rates. The molar mass of argon is 39.95 g/mol, while the molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol. The rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass. Therefore, if argon effuses at 4.00 mmol/min, chlorine, with a lower molar mass, would effuse faster. The only option that is lower than 4.00 mmol/min is 3.00 mmol/min, so that is the correct answer.

    On a space station, a 10.0-L steel drum of oxygen gas at 25 C and 101.3kPa pressure spings a leak and 8.00g of gas escapes before the leak is plugged. What is the final pressure of the oxygen in the drum at 25 C?

    • 37.1 kPa

    • 36.8 kPa

    • 39.4 kPa

    • 38.2 kPa

    Correct Answer
    A. 39.4 kPa
    Explanation
    When the 8.00g of gas escapes from the drum, the number of moles of oxygen gas decreases. According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature. Since the volume and temperature remain constant, the decrease in the number of moles of gas will result in a decrease in pressure. Therefore, the final pressure of the oxygen in the drum will be less than the initial pressure of 101.3 kPa. Among the given options, 39.4 kPa is the closest value to the expected decrease in pressure.

    What gas is likely to behave as an ideal gas when subjected to high temperature and low pressure?

    • Krypton

    • Hydrogen

    • Oxygen

    • Helium

    Correct Answer
    A. Helium
    Explanation
    Helium is likely to behave as an ideal gas when subjected to high temperature and low pressure. This is because helium has low molecular weight and weak intermolecular forces, which allows its gas particles to move freely and independently. At high temperatures, the kinetic energy of the gas particles increases, causing them to move faster and collide less frequently. At low pressures, the gas particles are further apart and experience fewer intermolecular interactions. These factors contribute to helium's behavior as an ideal gas under these conditions.

    Which salts are insoluble in water?

    • Carbonate salt

    • Sulphate salt

    • Nitrate salt

    • Ethanoate salts

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbonate salt
    Explanation
    Carbonate salts are insoluble in water because they contain carbonate ions (CO3^2-) which have a large negative charge. This charge attracts the positive hydrogen ions in water (H+), causing the carbonate ions to form a solid precipitate rather than dissolve. This insolubility is observed in compounds such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which forms a white precipitate when added to water. In contrast, sulphate, nitrate, and ethanoate salts are generally soluble in water due to their smaller negative charges or the presence of other ions that stabilize their solubility.

    Correct Answer
    A. Precipitation
    Explanation
    Insoluble salts can be prepared by precipitation. Precipitation is a chemical reaction in which two soluble salts react to form an insoluble salt, which then separates out as a solid precipitate. This process involves mixing two solutions containing the desired ions, causing a reaction to occur and the insoluble salt to form and settle at the bottom. Filtration, distillation, and evaporation are not methods specifically used for preparing insoluble salts.

    Who was the first to isolate oxygen in its gaseous state?

    • Lavoiser

    • Priestley

    • Hess

    • Dalton

    Correct Answer
    A. Priestley
    Explanation
    Priestley was the first to isolate oxygen in its gaseous state. He conducted experiments in the 1770s where he heated mercuric oxide and observed the release of a gas that supported combustion and respiration. He called this gas "dephlogisticated air," which was later identified as oxygen by Lavoisier. Priestley's discovery of oxygen played a crucial role in the development of the understanding of gases and chemical reactions.

    _____________ is a reaction in which a molecule adds to the two carbon atoms of a double bond.

    • Addition Reaction

    • Hydrogeneration reaction

    • Chlorination reaction

    • Bromination reaction

    Correct Answer
    A. Addition Reaction
    Explanation
    An addition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where a molecule adds to the two carbon atoms of a double bond. This process occurs when the double bond breaks and new bonds are formed with the added molecule. It is called an addition reaction because the added molecule "adds" to the original compound, resulting in a larger molecule. The other options, hydrogeneration reaction, chlorination reaction, and bromination reaction, do not specifically involve the addition of a molecule to a double bond.

    Nonpolar Covalent bond occurs if the difference in electronegativity ranges from

    • 0.00 to 0.40

    • 0.50 to 1.90

    • 1.90 to 2.00

    • 2.00 and up

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.50 to 1.90
    Explanation
    A nonpolar covalent bond occurs if the difference in electronegativity ranges from 0.50 to 1.90. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the atoms involved have similar electronegativities, resulting in an equal sharing of electrons. This means that neither atom has a significantly stronger pull on the electrons, creating a balanced distribution of charge.
