11 What is the total number of electrons shared in a double covalent bond? (1) 1 (3) 3 (2) 2 (4) 4 | 4 | each bond has 2 electrons |
12 Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: Br2 + energy ==> Br + Br Which statement describes the energy change and bonds in this reaction? (1) Energy is released as bonds are broken. (2) Energy is released as bonds are formed. (3) Energy is absorbed as bonds are broken. (4) Energy is absorbed as bonds are formed. | 3 | energy is on the left so it is endothermic atoms are no longer together so the bond is broken |
13 Which substance can not be broken down by a chemical change? (1) methane (3) tungsten (2) propanal (4) water | 3 | definition of an element |
14 Object A at 40.C and object B at 80.C are placed in contact with each other. Which statement describes the heat flow between the objects? (1) Heat flows from object A to object B. (2) Heat flows from object B to object A. (3) Heat flows in both directions between the objects. (4) No heat flow occurs between the objects. | 2 | heat flows from hot to cold |
15 Which unit can be used to express the concentration of a solution? (1) L/s (3) ppm (2) J/g (4) kPa | 3 | ppm, or mol/L is concentration Table T, Table D |
16 Which formula represents a mixture? (1) C6H12O6(l) (3) LiCl(aq) (2) C6H12O6(s) (4) LiCl(s) | 3 | (aq) means it is dissolved in water |
17 Which sample has particles with the lowest average kinetic energy? (1) 1.0 g of I2 at 50.C (2) 2.0 g of I2 at 30.C (3) 7.0 g of I2 at 40.C (4) 9.0 g of I2 at 20.C | 4 | avg KE is temperature, pick the lowest temperature |
