According to the kinetic-molecular theory, particles of matter are in motion

At absolute zero
At all temperatures above absolute zero
Only in gases
Only in liquids

Correct Answer

A. At all temperatures above absolute zero

Explanation

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, particles of matter are in motion at all temperatures above absolute zero. This theory states that all particles, whether in gases, liquids, or solids, are in constant motion. At absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature, particles theoretically have no kinetic energy and therefore no motion. However, as the temperature increases, the particles gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. Therefore, the correct answer is that particles of matter are in motion at all temperatures above absolute zero.

Which instrument, invented by Evangelista Torricelli, measures the pressure of the atmosphere?

Barometer
Manometer
U-tube
Torrometer

Correct Answer

A. Barometer

Explanation

Evangelista Torricelli invented the barometer, an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. A barometer works by balancing the weight of the atmosphere with the weight of a column of mercury or other liquid. By measuring the height of the liquid column, the atmospheric pressure can be determined. A manometer is a similar instrument used to measure pressure, but it is typically used for measuring the pressure of gases or liquids in closed systems. A U-tube is a type of manometer that uses a U-shaped tube filled with liquid to measure pressure differentials. A torrometer is not a known instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure.

Convert the pressure 2.42 atmospheres to kilopascals. Remember that 1 atm = 101.3 kPa.

2 kPa
115 kPa
41.9 kPa
245 kPa

Correct Answer

A. 245 kPa

Explanation

The correct answer is 245 kPa because to convert from atmospheres to kilopascals, you need to multiply the pressure in atmospheres by the conversion factor of 101.3 kPa/1 atm. Therefore, 2.42 atmospheres multiplied by 101.3 kPa/1 atm equals 245 kPa.

How many moles are in 2.8 x 10²⁴ atoms of W?

0.215 mol
4.65 mol
855 mol
4.65 x 10⁴⁸ mol

Correct Answer

A. 4.65 mol

Explanation

The given question asks for the number of moles in a given number of atoms of W. The answer 4.65 mol is obtained by dividing the given number of atoms (2.8 x 10^24) by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23), which represents the number of atoms in one mole of a substance. This calculation gives the result of approximately 4.65 mol.

What is the mass of one mole of BaCl₂?

172.8 g
208.3 g
137.3 g
345.8 g

Correct Answer

A. 208.3 g

Explanation

One mole of BaCl2 refers to the molar mass of BaCl2, which is the sum of the atomic masses of one barium atom (Ba) and two chlorine atoms (Cl). The atomic mass of barium is 137.3 g/mol, and the atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol. Adding these values together gives a molar mass of BaCl2 equal to 208.3 g/mol. Therefore, the correct answer is 208.3 g.

What is the number of moles in 432 grams of Ba(NO₃)₂?

0.237 mol
0.605 mol
1.65 mol
3.66 mol

Correct Answer

A. 1.65 mol

Explanation

The number of moles in a substance can be calculated using the formula: moles = mass / molar mass. In this case, the molar mass of Ba(NO3)2 can be calculated by adding up the atomic masses of each element: 137.33 (Ba) + 2(14.01) (N) + 6(16.00) (O) = 261.33 g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles in 432 grams of Ba(NO3)2 would be 432 g / 261.33 g/mol = 1.65 mol.

What group of elements on the Periodic Table tends to have the highest ionization energy?

7
18
1
8

Correct Answer

A. 18

Explanation

Group 18 of the Periodic Table, also known as the noble gases, tends to have the highest ionization energy. This is because noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and less likely to lose or gain electrons. As a result, it requires a significant amount of energy to remove an electron from a noble gas atom, leading to a high ionization energy.

In this diagram, what is the first ionization energy for beryllium?

496 kJ/mol
521 kJ/mol
738 kJ/mol
899 kJ/mol

Correct Answer

A. 899 kJ/mol

Explanation

The first ionization energy is the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom in its gaseous state. Beryllium is a metal located in Group 2 of the periodic table, and it has two valence electrons. As we move across a period from left to right, the atomic radius decreases, resulting in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. This increased attraction requires more energy to remove an electron, so the first ionization energy increases. Therefore, the correct answer is 899 kJ/mol, which is the highest value among the given options and indicates the greatest energy required to remove an electron from beryllium.

Which of the following ions does NOT have an octet?

Na⁺
S^2-
Sr⁺
P^3-

Correct Answer

A. Sr⁺

Explanation

Sr+ does not have an octet because it is a cation with a charge of +1. It loses two electrons from its valence shell, leaving it with only 8 valence electrons instead of the usual 8 electrons needed for an octet.

How does a calcium atom most commonly achieve an octet of electrons?

By gaining 1 electron
By gaining 2 electrons
By losing 2 electrons
By losing 1 electron

Correct Answer

A. By losing 2 electrons

Explanation

Calcium is in Group 2 of the periodic table, which means it has 2 valence electrons. In order to achieve an octet (8 electrons) in its outermost energy level, calcium can lose these 2 valence electrons. By losing 2 electrons, calcium will have a full outermost energy level, making it more stable. This is the most common way for calcium to achieve an octet of electrons.

Of the following elements, which has the highest electronegativity value?

Fr
I
O
Al

Correct Answer

A. O

Explanation

Oxygen (O) has the highest electronegativity value among the given elements. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond. Oxygen is highly electronegative because it has a strong attraction for electrons due to its high effective nuclear charge and small atomic size. This makes oxygen more likely to gain electrons and form negative ions in chemical reactions. In comparison, Francium (Fr) has the lowest electronegativity value as it has a larger atomic size and lower effective nuclear charge, resulting in a weaker attraction for electrons.

How many valence electrons would be found in an atom of oxygen?

4
2
6
5

Correct Answer

A. 6

Explanation

Oxygen is found in Group 16 of the periodic table, which means it has 6 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and are responsible for the atom's chemical properties. Therefore, an atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.

One mole of water molecules would fill

The whole world.
A high school gymnasium.
A small shot glass.
The state of Florida.

Correct Answer

A. A small shot glass.

Explanation

One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23. In the case of water, one mole of water molecules would contain this enormous number of molecules. However, the size of the molecules themselves is very small, so even though there are a huge number of them, they would still fit into a small shot glass.

Which one of the following could NOT be a unit of pressure?

Newtons per square meter
Pounds per square inch
Pascal
Manometers per square foot

Correct Answer

A. Manometers per square foot

Explanation

Manometers per square foot could not be a unit of pressure because manometers are devices used to measure pressure, not units of pressure themselves. The correct unit of pressure is typically expressed in terms of force per unit area, such as newtons per square meter (N/m²), pounds per square inch (psi), or pascal (Pa).
