Rotting food and fizzing are signs of what kind of reaction? AND how do you know?

Chemical: color change, sound produced, gas produced

100

Convert 34.5 moles of Carbon to mass of carbon

34.5 mol x 12.011g/mol = 414.38 grams 

OR 

34.5 mol x 12g/mol = 414 grams

Would you rather have a head the size of an orange or the size of a watermelon?

Orange: +200

Watermelon: -100

What was the first vegetable ever to be grown in space? Hint: not green!

potato!

How many electron shells does Magnesium have?

Mg is in Period 3, which means it has 3 electron shells 

200

In what fictional Indiana town does the sci-fi series “Stranger Things”

Hawkins

200

What is greatest in mass: 23.5 moles of aluminum, 15.7 moles of titanium, or 11.7 moles of copper? 

23.5 mol Al = 632.15 g

15.7 mol Ti = 750 g

11.7 mol Cu = 742.9 g 

200

How many neutrons does Chlorine have? 

Neutrons = Mass - Protons

35g/mol - 17 = 18 Neutrons

200

Balance: 

N2 + H2 --> NH3

N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3

200

What are 3 metalloids?

Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, Polonium 

300

Chemical or Physical?

KNO3(s) --> K+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

Physical -- it dissolved

What's the name of the pig in the book “Charlotte's Web”?

Wilbur

When ionic compounds are added to water, they dissolve. This is a physical change. If you were to read a chemical equation on paper, what would you see that tells you a compound has dissolved?

The symbol would be (aq), which stands for aqueous


NaCl(s) + H2O(L) = Na(aq) + Cl(aq) + H2O(L)

300

What are two properties of the elements in group 17?

1) Nonmetals 

2) Highly reactive

3) Have 7 valence electrons

4) High electronegative (meaning they like to steal electrons from others)

400

CH4(g) + 2O2 --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + 245KJ


Chemical or physical? What does KJ stand for and what does it tell you?

Chemical, KJ = kilojoules, which tells you the reaction releases heat

400

2Fe + 3H2SO4 --> 1Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2

If 3.5 moles of Iron Sulfate were produced, how many moles of Sulfuric Acid did you start with?

3.5 x 3/1 ratio = 10.5 mol H2SO4

400

Nitrogen has the electron configuration 1s22s22p3. What is the electron configuration for sodium?

1s22s22p63s1


400

State this equation aloud: 

AgI + Na2S --> Ag2S + NaI

Silver Iodide + Sodium Sulfide --> Silver Sulfide + Sodium Iodide

The classic 1877 novel “Black Beauty” is about what kind of animal?

a Horse

A group of chemistry students were conducting a lab to investigate the the change that takes place when potassium chlorate (KClO3) gets heated and decomposes. They noticed that when the reaction is completed, the mass of the products have decreased. What do you think causes this decreased mass? Extra 300 pts if you can name the products! 

KClO3 decomposes into KCl and O2. Because a gas is formed, the mass on the scale has decreased as the oxygen has escaped into the air.

2Fe + 3H2SO4--> 1Fe2(SO4)3 + 3H2

This reaction started with 10g Fe. How many grams of H2 were released? 

10g Fe x 1mol/55.85g = 0.179 mol Fe

0.179 x 3/2 (ratio) = 0.269 mol H2

0.269 mol H2 x 2g/1mol = 0.537g H2

500

What is the formula for ammonium sulfate?

(NH4)2SO4

NH4 has a +1 charge and SOhas a -2 charge

500

Write and balance the equation: 

Iron (III) Oxide + Carbon(s) --> Fe(s) + CO2

2Fe2O3 + 3C --> 4Fe + 3CO2

500

Why are Group 17 and Group 1 elements highly reactive?

Group 1 has one electron to share and Group 17 needs 1 electron to make a full outer shell.
