Questions

AnswerExplanations
11 Which formula represents a polar molecule?
(1) Br2     (3) CH4
(2) CO2    (4) NH3
4draw them, the asymmetrical one
12 Two solid samples each contain sulfur, oxygen, and sodium, only. These samples have the same color, melting point, density, and reaction with
an aqueous barium chloride solution. It can be concluded that the two samples are the same
(1) compound     (3) mixture
(2) element          (4) solution
1the others answers don't make sense
13 Which equation represents a physical change?
(1) H2O(s) + 6.01 kJ  ==>H2O(l)
(2) 2H2(g) + O2(g) ==>2H2O(g) + 483.6 kJ
(3) H2(g) + I2(g) + 53.0 kJ  ==>2HI(g)
(4) N2(g) + 2O2(g) + 66.4 kJ ==> 2NO2(g)
1phase change
14 Which liquid has the lowest vapor pressure at 65°C?
(1) ethanoic acid       (3) propanone
(2) ethanol                (4) water
1Table H
15 Which substance can not be broken down by a chemical reaction?
(1) ammonia          (3) methane
(2) argon               (4) water
2Definition of a compound
16 In which sample is the average kinetic energy of the particles greatest?
(1) 10. mL of HCl(aq) at 25°C
(2) 15 mL of HCl(aq) at 20.°C
(3) 10. mL of H2O(l) at 35°C
(4) 15 mL of H2O(l) at 30.°C
3Definition of Temperature   -average kinetic energy
17 A thermometer is in a beaker of water. Which statement best explains why the thermometer reading initially increases when LiBr(s) is dissolved in the water?
(1) The entropy of the LiBr(aq) is greater than the entropy of the water.
(2) The entropy of the LiBr(aq) is less than the entropy of the water.
(3) The dissolving of the LiBr(s) in water is an endothermic process.
(4) The dissolving of the LiBr(s) in water is an exothermic process.
4Temp increases exothermic

a solid dissolving is an increase in entropy

18 Which process increases the potential energy of the particles of a sample?
(1) condensation       (3) solidification
(2) deposition            (4) vaporization
4SLG question

       L<--G

S<-------G

S<--L

        L-->G

19 Which sample at STP has the same number of molecules as 5 liters of NO2(g) at STP?
(1) 5 grams of H2(g)
(2) 5 liters of CH4(g)
(3) 5 moles of O2(g)
(4) 5 × 1023 molecules of CO2(g)
2Avagodro's Hypothesis same volumes at STP same number of molecules
20 Under which conditions of temperature and pressure does oxygen gas behave least like an ideal gas?
(1) low temperature and low pressure
(2) low temperature and high pressure
(3) high temperature and low pressure
(4) high temperature and high pressure
2Ideal gas = ideal vacation

high temp low pressure

use opposite is says NOT
