    Standard pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly

    • 273 mm high

    • 760 mm high

    • 760 cm high

    • 1.00 m high

    Correct Answer
    A. 760 mm high
    Explanation
    Standard pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 760 mm high. This is because the unit of pressure, called the atmosphere (atm), was originally defined as the average pressure at sea level. To measure this pressure, a barometer is used, which consists of a column of mercury in a tube. When the height of the mercury column is 760 mm, it balances the atmospheric pressure and is considered the standard reference point for pressure measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is 760 mm high.

    Standard pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly

    • 273 mm high

    • 760 mm high

    • 760 cm high

    • 1.00 m high

    Correct Answer
    A. 760 mm high
    Explanation
    Standard pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 760 mm high. This is because the unit of pressure, called the torr, is based on the height of a column of mercury in a barometer. At sea level, the average atmospheric pressure is equal to the weight of a column of mercury that is 760 mm high. Therefore, 760 mm is the standard height used to measure pressure in this context.

    Which instrument measures atomospheric pressure?

    • Barometer

    • Manometer

    • Vacuum pump

    • Torrometer

    Correct Answer
    A. Barometer
    Explanation
    A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It works by balancing the pressure exerted by the atmosphere with the pressure exerted by a column of liquid, usually mercury or water. Changes in atmospheric pressure cause the liquid level in the barometer to rise or fall, indicating changes in weather conditions. A manometer, on the other hand, measures pressure in closed systems, such as gas tanks or pipes, while a vacuum pump is used to create a vacuum by removing air or gas from a sealed space. A torrometer is not a valid instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure.

    The standard molar volume of a gas at STP is

    • 22.4 L

    • G/22.4 L

    • G-mol wt/22.4 L

    • 1 L

    Correct Answer
    A. 22.4 L
    Explanation
    The standard molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L. This means that at standard temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. This value is derived from the ideal gas law equation, where the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles present. Therefore, at STP, the molar volume is a constant value of 22.4 L.

    In what kind of reaction do two or more substances combine to form a new compound?

    • Decomposition reaction

    • Combustion reaction

    • Double-displacement reaction

    • Synthesis reaction

    Correct Answer
    A. Synthesis reaction
    Explanation
    A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more substances combine to form a new compound. In this reaction, the reactants come together to create a single product. This is the opposite of a decomposition reaction, where a compound breaks down into its individual elements. Combustion reactions involve the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen, resulting in the release of energy. Double-displacement reactions occur when the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Therefore, the correct answer is synthesis reaction.

    • Excess reactants begin combining

    • Reaction slows down

    • Reaction speeds up

    • Reaction stops

    Correct Answer
    A. Reaction stops
    Explanation
    When the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is completely used, it means that there are no more molecules of the limiting reactant available to react. As a result, the reaction cannot proceed any further because there are no more reactants to participate in the reaction. Therefore, the reaction stops.

    Pressure is the force per unit

    • Volume

    • Surface area

    • Length

    • Depth

    Correct Answer
    A. Surface area
    Explanation
    Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. In this context, the correct answer is surface area because pressure is the force per unit surface area. It is a measure of how much force is applied over a given area. The larger the surface area, the lower the pressure, as the force is spread out over a larger area. Conversely, a smaller surface area will result in higher pressure, as the force is concentrated on a smaller area. Therefore, surface area is directly related to pressure.

    The standard molar volume of a gas at STP is

    • 22.4 L

    • G/22.4 L

    • G-mol wt/22.4 L

    • 1 L

    Correct Answer
    A. 22.4 L
    Explanation
    The standard molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L. This means that at standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. This value is derived from the ideal gas law, which states that at STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.4 L.

    If force is held cosntant as surface area decreases, pressure

    • Remains constant

    • Decreases

    • Increases

    • Increases or decreases, depending on the volume change

    Correct Answer
    A. Increases
    Explanation
    As the surface area decreases while the force remains constant, the same force is applied over a smaller area. This results in a higher pressure because pressure is defined as force per unit area. So, as the area decreases, the force is distributed over a smaller area, leading to an increase in pressure.

    What does the constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produce?

    • Temperature

    • Density

    • Pressure

    • Diffusion

    Correct Answer
    A. Pressure
    Explanation
    The constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produces pressure. When gas molecules collide with the walls of the container, they exert a force, which creates pressure. The more frequently and forcefully the molecules collide, the higher the pressure. Pressure is a measure of the force exerted per unit area, and it is a result of the random motion of gas molecules.

    A sample of oxygen occupies 560. mL when the pressure is 800.00 mm Hg. At constant temperature, what volume does the gas occupy when the pressure decreases to 700.0 mm Hg

    • 80.0 mL

    • 490 mL

    • 600 mL

    • 640 mL

    Correct Answer
    A. 640 mL
    Explanation
    According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the temperature is constant. In this case, the initial volume of the oxygen is 560 mL and the initial pressure is 800.0 mm Hg. When the pressure decreases to 700.0 mm Hg, the volume of the gas will increase. Using the formula P1V1 = P2V2, we can calculate the final volume of the gas. Rearranging the formula, we get V2 = (P1V1)/P2. Plugging in the values, we get V2 = (800.0 mm Hg * 560 mL) / 700.0 mm Hg = 640 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 640 mL.

    The gas pressure inside a container decreases when

    • The number of gas molecules is increased

    • The number of gas molecules is decreased

    • The temperature is increased

    • The number of molecules is increased and the temperature is increased

    Correct Answer
    A. The number of gas molecules is decreased
    Explanation
    When the number of gas molecules is decreased, the gas pressure inside a container decreases. This is because with fewer gas molecules, there are fewer collisions between the molecules and the walls of the container, resulting in less force exerted on the walls. As a result, the gas pressure decreases.

    What is the measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction?

    • Mole ratio

    • Percentage yield

    • Theoretical yield

    • Actual yield

    Correct Answer
    A. Actual yield
    Explanation
    The actual yield is the measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction. It represents the amount of product that is actually produced in the reaction, taking into account any limitations or inefficiencies in the process. The actual yield is often compared to the theoretical yield, which is the amount of product that would be obtained if the reaction proceeded perfectly according to stoichiometry. The percentage yield is then calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100. The mole ratio, on the other hand, is a ratio that relates the number of moles of one substance to another in a balanced chemical equation.
