21 Even though the process is endothermic, snow can sublime. Which tendency in nature accounts for this phase change?(1) a tendency toward greater entropy (2) a tendency toward greater energy (3) a tendency toward less entropy (4) a tendency toward less energy | 1 | entropy increase as solids become a gas |
22 What is the IUPAC name of the compound with the structural formula shown below? (1) 2-pentene (3) 2-pentyne (2) 3-pentene (4) 3-pentyne | 1 | 2-pentene, the double bond is on the second carbon from the right -ene is used because there is a double bond |
23 Molecules of 1-bromopropane and 2-bromopropane differ in(1) molecular formula (2) structural formula (3) number of carbon atoms per molecule (4) number of bromine atoms per molecule | 2 | different structures |
24 Which half-reaction correctly represents reduction? (1) Ag --> Ag+ + e– (2) F 2 --> 2 F– + 2e– (3) Au3+ + 3e–--> Au (4) Fe2+ + e– --> Fe3+ | 3 | charge decreases the electrons go on the more positive side |
25 In a redox reaction, how does the total number of electrons lost by the oxidized substance compare to the total number of electrons gained by the reduced substance?(1) The number lost is always greater than the number gained.(2) The number lost is always equal to the number gained.(3) The number lost is sometimes equal to the number gained.(4) The number lost is sometimes less than the number gained. | 2 | lost always equals gain |
26 Which reaction is an example of an oxidation reduction reaction?(1) AgNO 3 + KI --> AgI + KNO3(2) Cu + 2 AgNO 3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag(3) 2 KOH + H 2SO4 --> K2SO4 + 2 H2O(4) Ba(OH) 2 + 2 HCl --> BaCl2 + 2 H2O | 2 | look for the charge change ***find the reaction involving a free element |
