Jady named this compound 3-butylpentanoic acid. Why is she wrong and what is its actual name? See picture.
She did not count the longest chain: 3-ethylheptanoic acid.

According to the formula: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O, what is the limiting reagent and how much H2O will be produced given 9.00g H2 and 10.52g O2
O2 is the limiting reagent. 11.9g of H2O will be produced.

Explain what are the Balmer series, Lyman series and Paschen series.
They are the names of groups of specific types of waves: Balmer is visible emission spectrum, Lyman is ultraviolet light (an energy "drop" larger than n=6 to n=2), Paschen is infrared light (an energy drop smaller than n=3 to n=2).

Why does the efficiency of a catalyst decrease with time?
It becomes inactive due to impurities in the reaction mixture, side reactions, or its surface becomes coated.

Explain Hund's Rule and the Aufbau Principle.
Hund's Rule: Orbitals of the same type will fill singularly first. I.e. There are 3 p orbitals at one energy level. Each p orbital will have one e- before they receive their second e-. Aufbau Principle: Orbitals of lowest energy will be filled first. I.e. Since d orbitals are higher energy than the s orbitals of the next energy level, the s orbitals will fill first --> 4s2 before 3d starts to fill.

Sulfur tetrafluoride. Name its shape, give all angles and how many non-bonding electron pairs are there?
Saw horse, 90 and 117 degrees, and one non-bonding electron pair.

Suppose that for the reaction 2A + B --> C , experiments revealed that m = 2 and n =1, so that the rate at which C forms = k[A]2[B]1. What would happen to the rate at which C formed if [A] tripled and [B] remained constant?
The rate would increase by a factor of 32 = 9 because the rate is proportional to the square of the concentration of A.

Give the core notation of chromium and vanadium 2+, and the expanded form of Phosphorus.
Cr = [Ar]4s1, 3d5 V2+ = [Ar]3d3 P = 1s22s22p63s23p3

Explain in terms of the intermolecular forces that exist, why water is a liquid at room temperature but hydrogen sulfide is a gas.
Water has H-bonding therefore molecules are held tightly together and not spread apart as a gas. Hydrogen sulfide does not have H-bonding because it is not polar-covalently bonded to a very electronegative element. Only dipole-dipole forces and Van der Wal's forces apply to hydrogen sulfide.

Describe how a non-polar solvent, such as tetrachloromethane, could be used to separate a mixture of magnesium and iodine into its components.
The solvent is soluble with iodine but not with magnesium metal therefore magnesium is undissolved.
