AnswerExplanations
41 A rigid cylinder with a movable piston contains a 2.0-liter sample of neon gas at STP. What is the volume of this sample when its temperature is increased to 30.°C while its pressure is decreased to 90. kilopascals?
(1) 2.5 L    (3) 1.6 L
(2) 2.0 L    (4) 0.22 L		1PV/T=PV/T

90(2)/303 =101.3(V)/273

P decreases and temp increases

volume should increase

42 Which compound is a saturated hydrocarbon?
(1) CH2CH2 (3) CH3CHO
(2) CH3CH3 (4) CH3CH2OH		2hydrocarbon C and H only

saturated, alkanes, all single bonds CnH2n+2

45 What are the products of a reaction between KOH(aq) and HCl(aq)?
(1) H2 and KClO    (3) KH and HClO
(2) H2O and KCl    (4) KOH and HCl		2neutralization water and salt
46 Which volume of 0.10 M NaOH(aq) exactly neutralizes 15.0 milliliters of 0.20 M HNO3(aq)?
(1) 1.5 mL     (3) 3.0 mL
(2) 7.5 mL     (4) 30. mL		4MV=MV

0.20(15.0)=0.10(V)

47 Which indicator, when added to a solution, changes color from yellow to blue as the pH of the solution is changed from 5.5 to 8.0?
(1) bromcresol green (3) litmus
(2) bromthymol blue (4) methyl orange		2Table
4each pH unit is 10 times the previous

acids (H+) low pH is more acidic

increases by 10

436.0s/7.2= 5 half lives

1/2   1/4  1/8  1/16  1/32
