a. increase due to the common ion effect -Sodium oxalate is a base, and adding a base to anything will cause an increase in pH. This increase in pH will be due to the common ion effect in this case, because oxalic acid and oxalate share a common ion. -Adding reactant does not shift the Ka.

24. Which of the following best describes the bond character for hydrochloric acid? a. polar covalent b. covalent c. ionic d. hydrophobic e. hydrogen bonding

a. polar covalent -Ionic bonds are generally formed between elements from the far left and the far right of the periodic table. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) may appear ionic since it is made from hydrogen and chlorine which appear on opposite sides of the periodic table. However, in HCl, the hydrogen and chlorine share an electron to complete each other's valence shells. Therefore, the bond cannot be ionic. Only pure elements (N2, for example) are purely covalent. Since chlorine is much more electronegative than hydrogen, it will hog the electron more than the hydrogen, creating polarity, so therefore this is a polar covalent bond.

b. Na3PO4 -Na3PO4 is able to absorb 3 protons, because it dissociates into the very basic PO4^3- ion -the other answer choices would only absorb 1 proton

15.

b. decreasing the temperature -decreasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift towards the product side [A]-increasing the volume of the container would decrease the pressure and since there are more gas molecules on the reactant side, the reaction would shift left towards the reactants [C]-solids are not included in the equilibrium expression [D]-He is an inert gas and isn't involved in the reaction [E]-adding a catalyst doesn't affect equilibrium

7. Which process would be used to separate two miscible liquids? a. filtration b. distillation c. decantation d. disproportionation e. crystallization

b. distillation -Filtering or straining the homogeneous mixture would not help to separate the two liquids. -Decantation is the process to remove the top layer of liquid after the precipitate has settled at the bottom.

Which of the following findings would be most expected during analysis of this substance? a. short range order of atoms b. sharp, well defined melting temperature c. malleable shape deformation d. random lattice structure e. irregular breakage patterns

b. sharp, well defined melting temperature -Crystalline solids have long range order. There is a consistent, crystal lattice network of atoms that is well defined, and repeated throughout the structure. Crystalline solids have sharp, well defined, characteristic melting temperatures, and break with a cleavage along a very straight plane -Amorphous solids have only short range order. There is no consistent structure of atoms throughout the solid. This leads to a broad range of melting temperatures for any given amorphous solid, and they have irregular breakage patterns.

b. the amount of AgCl will increase -if NaCl is added to the mixture, it will dissolve to form Na^+1 and Cl^-1 ions in the solution. NaCl and AgCl share a common ion: Cl^-1 -the addition of NaCl will shift the reaction to the left, since there is more Cl^-1 in the solution therefore reducing the solubility of the AgCl. This will increase the amount of AgCl in the solution.

Which of the following must be true of Element X? a. the effective nuclear charge is high b. the nuclear binding energy is high c. the ionization energy is high d. the electron shielding is high e. the bond dissociation energy is high

b. the nuclear binding energy is high [A]-the effective nuclear charge is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.

Δmass universe e. ΔT system

b. ΔS universe -During any spontaneous process, the entropy of the Universe increases [A]-heat is a product (exothermic); ΔHsystem will be negative [E]-an exothermic reaction releases heat, which causes the temperature of the system to decrease [C]-Gibbs free energy (ΔG) would be negative for this reaction since it is spontaneous [D]-The law of conservation of mass tells us that the matter (mass) in the Universe is constant, and cannot be created or destroyed, only change forms

12. The following mixtures (assume volumes are additive) will result to a buffer solution EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION? a. 0.10 M CH3COOH + 0.10 M NaCH3COO b. 0.40 M HCN + 0.20 M KOH c. 0.050 M HCl + 0.075 M NaOH d. 0.125 M NH4Cl + 0.100 M NH3 e. 0.100 M HCl + 0.20 M NH3

c. MgO -Sodium oxide represents an ionic compound, which have very high melting points compared to nonionic compounds. We therefore can eliminate [B], [D], and [E] -melting point of ionic compounds increases with increasing charge and decreasing size according to Coulomb's Law Comparing MgO to Na2O - the radii of Mg and Na are quite similar (right beside each other in the periodic table), and MgO has greater charges (+2 and -2) compared toNa2O (+1 and -2) so MgO will have the higher melting point

c. intermediates never appear in rate equations -A reaction intermediate is a short lived (transient) molecule that forms in a multistep reaction. It is a different, separate existing molecule that is unique from the reactants and the products [E]-although all reactions involve bonds being broken and formed (transition states), not all reactions have reaction intermediates forming and being consumed (multistep reactions)

19. Which of the following is true for the energy diagram of a reversible exothermic reaction?

c. the reverse reaction has a higher activation energy than the forward reaction -a larger activation energy means the reaction would proceed slower -the enthalpy of the reactants is larger than the products, which is why exothermic reactions have a negative ΔH

c. this solution with a pOH of 7 is acidic [A,D]-A neutral solution is one where [H+] = [OH-]. Thus, if the pH of a neutral solution is 6.1, then its pOH is also 6.1, and pH + pOH = 12.2 [B]-Since at 100 oC, the neutral pH is 6.1, then a solution with pH 6.5 is basic [E]- Kw = 1 x 10-14 at 25 oC, but the value changes with temperature. We would not expect the pH of this neutral solution to still be 6.1 when the temperature changes from 100 oC to 50 oC

c. ΔG<0 only at low temperatures -ΔH= a negative number (exothermic) -entropy change ΔS= negative (the products are more ordered than the reactants) because the reactants are 2 moles of gas and the product is only 1 mole of gas -low temperature = adding a small positive number will keep ΔG<0 -high temperature = adding a large positive number will change ΔG>0

d. CF4 1. Bond Polarity: -there is a large difference in the electronegativities of the elements that make up a bond 2. Molecular Polarity: -deals with the shape of the molecule, looking for symmetry -Symmetry leads to a non-polar molecule CF4 and N2 are the only options that have a symmetrical shape, but the N-N bond has the same electronegativity and is not polar

KCl will have the lower freezing point b. KCl will have the higher boiling point c. CaCl2 will have the lower boiling point d. CaCl2 will have the higher boiling point

d. CaCl2 will have the higher boiling point and lower freezing point ∆Tb = m × Kb × I -the molality is the same for both solutions, this can be disregarded. Both compounds are ionic and since the solvent is water, the Kb is also the same for both equations, which for water is 0.512 -KCl: "I" = 2 ions -CaCl2: "I" = 3 ions

if the concentration of the reactants are doubled, Keq doubles -liquids and solids are NEVER included in the expression for Keq for this given equation, the only reactant is a solid. Therefore, changing the concentration of the reactants would have no effect on Keq -changing the temperature of the reaction will change the Keq -changing the reaction itself by reversing the reaction or by adding coefficients to every substance in the reaction will change the Keq -When a reaction is reversed, its Keq value is the reciprocal of the Keq of the forward reaction

30. A student finds that the average number of cells over 10 samples is 2130, with a standard deviation of ±6. However, the professor determines the true average number of cells is 2850. The student's measurement was:

inaccurate and precise -Accuracy= that the measurement taken is close to the true value -Precise= that the measurement produces consistent results -the student's measurements were precise, since we can see the standard deviation is low compared to the total number of cells, meaning the variation of each measurement was low, but the measurement was inaccurate because it differed greatly from the true value

small changes are easier to measure in osmotic pressure than in other colligative properties -Technically, you could use any colligative property (freezing point, boiling point) to measure the molecular weight of a compound. But osmotic pressure is preferred for polymers (5,000+ g/mol) because polymers are usually very insoluble. -If osmotic pressure changes slightly, the height of the solution column will raise or lower (depending on the change). And this height change can be easily observed

9. In a closed system at equilibrium, the partial pressure of undissolved oxygen is tripled. How will the new oxygen solubility (solubility2) compare to the original oxygen solubility (solubility1)?

the vapor above the solution of X and Y contains more molecules of gas X than gas Y ↑ Vapor pressure = ↓ Lower boiling point ↑ Vapor pressure = ↑ Volatility -Liquid X has a higher vapor pressure (400 mm Hg) than liquid Y (200 mm Hg). Therefore X is more volatile, will boil at a lower temperature, and will contribute more to the vapor pressure above the solution than liquid Y

ΔHrxn = (-1)(-242) + (-2)(-286) = 242 kJ (from step 1) + 572 kJ (from step 2) = 814 kJ/mol 1. step 1 must be reversed: 2 H2O (g) → 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) (ΔH) = -1(-242 kJ/mol) 2. step 2 must be reversed and doubled: 2 H2O (l) → 2 H2O (g) (ΔH) = -2(-286 kJ/mol) -in the final equation, H2O (l) is on the left side of the arrow, but in step 2, the compound is on the right side of the arrow. -there is no H2O (g) in the final equation. Therefore, it has to be eliminated when the two equations are added together. There are 2 H2O (g) in step 1, but only 1 H2O (g) in step 2 -when reversing an equation: (ΔH) is multiplied by -1 -when doubling an equation: the coefficients as well as the (ΔH) are multiplied by 2
