SO2 smells like burning sulfur (brimstone).
H2S smells like rotten eggs or sewer gas.
Pure sulfur, S8 rings, has almost no odor.

What is 0.070 mol NaCl? M x V in liters = n
0.200 mol/L x 0.35 L = 0.070 mol (2 figs. are sig.)
Ch 3 These are omitted in a net ionic equation.
What are spectator ions? Note that these are not part of the precipitate. Memorize solubility rules so you can predict pptn rxns.
Ch 3 The number of particles in a mole of any substance (6.022 x1023) is called ________'s number, N.
What is Avogadro's number? The other way to define a mole is the mass called the molar mass. For H2O, 18 g is the molar mass. It contains many, many molecules.
Ch 3 Given MaVa = MbVb, the new concentration is ___ if the new volume is 1.00 L and the origin molarity and volume were 3.8 M and 0.50 L.
When you see 6.0 M it means 6.0 mol/liter
What is 1.9 M? Note that the solute ID did not matter. The dilution formula is very practical and can use other concentration or volume terms.
Ch 4 The amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction is called the ____ yield.
What is the actual yield?
Ch 4 Given (AY/Th yld) x 100 = % yld The theoretical yield was calculated to be 76.2 g, but students only obtained 65.5 g. The percentage yield was ____.
What is 86.0%? Notice three SFs in the results.
SFs means significant figures/digits.
The last digit in a measured value is doubtful but significant. It could vary up or down by one unit.
Ch 4 MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether) is no longer a popular gasoline ______ in the US and has been phased out due to severe groundwater contamination risks.
What is additive? It was intended to oxygenate like ethanol does to reduce exhaust emissions.
Ch 4 A lab method used to find the exact concentration of an unknown solution using one of known value is called a __________. A chemical reaction is involved.
What is a titration? Examples are Acid-Base or redox type titrations.
How does AI define titration? Claude? Grok? Perplexity? "Let every important fact be confirmed by 2 or 3 witnesses." In court, eye witnesses are far less reliable than DNA to convict or exonerate.
Ch 4 Given N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3 When 7.0 moles of H2 react with excess N2, the number of moles of NH3 produced is __________.
What are 4.7 mol of NH3? Use factor-label method.
7.0 mol H2 x(2 mol NH3/3 mol H2) = 4.7 mol (2 SF)
Ch 4 Molecules containing only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called _________. There are complex mixtures of these in gasoline, jet fuel and other fuels.
What are hydrocarbons? Only four are gases, CH4, C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10. Methane is the main component in natural gas. Ethane, propane and butane may also be present. Those are all gases. Pentane, C5H12, is the first liquid. C18H38 is the first solid straight chain hydrocarbon. MEPB is a memory device: Juan Orono suggested it.
Ch 4 Given 2H2 + O2 -->2H2O
24.0 g H2 requires ___mol O2 to fully react.
What are 5.94 mol O2?
Notice that this is 190. g (3 SF) since 5.94 mol x 32.0 g/mol = 190. g or 1.90 x 102 g
Ch 4 If 47.5 g of NH3 are wanted, the mass of H2 needed is _____as long as an excess of N2 is available. N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3 HINT below:
g A --> mol A --> mol B --> g B
What is/are 8.47 g H2?
