How many electron bonds can carbon take?
4
What type of reaction is this?
Al(s) + 3AgNO3(aq) -> Al(NO3)3 + 3Ag(s)
Single displacement
What is the value of NA? (round to 3 decimal places)
6.022 x 1023
Define solute.
The substance being dissolved in a solvent
A substance has a high pOH (>10). Is it acidic, basic, or neutral?
Acidic
What is ionization energy?
The lowest amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom in the gaseous state
After burning acetylene gas in a test tube, you notice that the test tube gets coated with carbon soot. What type of reaction is this? Be specific.
Incomplete combustion
How do you calculate molar mass of an element?
It is the same as its atomic mass, but in g/mol.
You add water to an acid to make it less concentrated. What is this process called?
Dilution
Ammonia receives a proton in water to form ammonium hydroxide. What type of base is ammonia?(hint: named after an acid-base theory)
A Bronsted-Lowry base
Why does the atomic mass of an element have decimals in the periodic table?
It is the weighted average of all of its isotopes.
You put some copper metal in hydrochloric acid. Will it react? Explain why.
It will not react, because copper is below hydrogen on the activity series. It cannot displace hydrogen from acids. (except nitric acid)
Benzene (C6H6) and acetylene (C2H2) share a common formula of CH. What is this called?
The empirical formula
You have a 6 molar solution of sulfuric acid. What does this mean? Be specific.
There are 6 moles of H2SO4 per liter of that solution.
Does a supersaturated solution always have a precipitate that can be seen? Explain why.
Not necessarily. For example, a supersaturated solution of sugar water actually doesn't form sugar crystals unless it is disturbed by knocking it or dropping sugar crystals inside it.

Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction with state symbols:
An aqueous sodium phosphate solution is added to an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate.
2Na3PO4(aq) + 3Ca(NO3)2(aq) -> 6NaNO3(aq) + Ca3(PO4)2(s)
What is the mole ratio of sodium phosphate to sodium hydroxide when phosphoric acid is neutralized with sodium hydroxide?
H3PO4(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) -> Na3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(l)
The mole ratio is 1:3.
Is sodium chloride or table sugar (sucrose) more soluble in water? Explain why.
Sugar is more soluble in water due to its polar nature. Its OH bond allows hydrogen bonding in water. Sugar also has weaker intermolecular forces than sodium chloride, so the water molecules can break it apart more easily.
Helium atoms do not combine to form He2 molecules, but they still attract each other sometimes due to:
London dispersion forces
Nomenclature - Name these compounds.
1. Ba(OH)2 . H2O(s)
2. HClO4(aq)
3. P2O7(g)
4. Ca(H2PO4)2(s)
5. HBr(s)
1. Barium hydroxide monohydrate
2. Perchloric acid
3. Diphosphorus heptoxide
4. Calcium dihydrogen phosphate
5. Solid hydrogen bromide
Here are five chemical equations. Two of them are wrong. Identify them and explain the mistake.
1. 2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
2. Mg(s) + O(g) -> MgO(s)
3. 2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
4. Na2SO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + SO2(g)
5. 3Cu(s) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq) -> 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Al(s)
Here are the mistakes:
Reaction 2: Oxygen is diatomic. It should be O2.
Reaction 5: Copper can't displace aluminum.
Ammonium chloride is an acidic salt. If 1 mol of aqueous ammonium chloride reacts with 1 mol of aqueous calcium hydroxide, how much of each product is formed (in moles)?
2NH4Cl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) + 2NH3(g) + 2H2O(l)
The products are: 1 mol of calcium chloride, 2 mol of ammonia gas, and 2 mol of water.
What does it mean when a salt is insoluble? Be specific.
An insoluble salt doesn't mean that it cannot dissolve in water at all. Instead, the term "insoluble" means that very little of that salt can be dissolved in water. For example, calcium hydroxide is slightly soluble in water, but is considered insoluble on the solubility table.
(Only learned briefly in class; will not be on tests or exams). Name all the strong acids.
(Hint: So I Brought No Perfectly Clean Clothes)
H2SO4, HI, HBr, HNO3, HClO4, HCl, HClO3
(HClO3 is a debatable one. It's not as strong as the other acids, so I will give the points even if it's not mentioned.)
