31 The diagram below represents the bright-line spectra of four elements and a bright-line spectrum produced by a mixture of three of these elements. Which element is not present in the mixture? (1) A (2) D (3) X (4) Z | 3 | line up the lines. all the lines must be in the mixture
if one is missing it is out | |
32 What is the overall charge of an ion that has 12 protons, 10 electrons, and 14 neutrons? (1) 2- (3) 4 (2) 2+ (4) 4+ | 2 | protons are 1+ electrons are 1- Neutrons are zero add them up | |
33 As the elements in Period 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, there is a general decrease in (1) atomic mass (2) atomic radius (3) electronegativity (4) first ionization energy | 2 | going left to right atomic radius decreases See table S | |

34 Which electron configuration represents the electrons of a sulfur atom in an excited state? (1) 2-6-6 (3) 2-8-4 (2) 2-7-7 (4) 2-8-6 | 2 | must have 16 electrons NOT 2-8-6 that is the ground state configuration | |
35 Given the word equation: sodium chlorate ==> sodium chloride + oxygen Which type of chemical reaction is represented by this equation? (1) double replacement (3) decomposition (2) single replacement (4) synthesis | 3 | decompositions AX--> A + X
one reactant | |
36 Which compound has the highest percent composition by mass of strontium? (1) SrC12 (2) SrI2 (3) SrO (4) SrS | 3 | Since they all have 1 Sr, the highest percent is the compound that has the smallest formula mass | |

37 Given the formula for hydrazine: How many pairs of electrons are shared between the two nitrogen atoms? (1) 1 (3) 3 (2) 2 (4) 4 | 1 | 1 bond is 2 electrons or 1 PAIR of electrons | |
38 Which formulas represent one ionic compound and one molecular compound? (1) N2 and SO2 (2) Cl2 and H2S (3) BaCl2 and N2O4(4) NaOH and BaSO4 | 3 | molecular is covalent
2 or more nonmetals atoms bonded | |

39 Which Kelvin temperature is equal to 200.oC? (1) -73 K (2) 73 K (3) 200. K (4) 473 K | 4 | C=K-273 Back page of RT | |
A 10.0-gram sample of H2O(l) at 23.0°C absorbs 209 joules of heat. What is the final temperature of the H2O(l) sample? (1) 5.0°C (3) 28.0°C (2) 18.0°C (4) 50.0°C | 3 | Q=mCDT DT=mC/Q=10g(4.18)/209J= 5°C it was at 23, so add 5 to that because it absorbed energy |
