According to Le Chatelier's Principle, describe the equilibrium shift with changes in pressure/volume, and the direction shifted respective to the moles of gas.

What is...

Increase Pressure/Decrease Volume: shift to side with LESS moles of gas

Decrease Pressure/Increase Volume: shift to side with MORE moles of gas

What is the pOH of a solution containing 0.0012 M OH- at 25°C?

What is...

2.92

Ecell = 1.83 V for the voltaic cell: 

Br2(l) + Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2Br-(aq)

If EZn = -0.76 V, what is EBr?

What is...

1.07 V

100

What is the difference between a primary battery and a secondary battery?

What is...

primary batteries are non-rechargeable (alkaline, LeClanché) and secondary batteries rechargeable (lead-acid, Ni-Metal hydride, Lithium-ion).

What is the charge on cobalt in the following coordination complex?

Na[Co(NH3)2Cl4]

What is...

+3

200

State the assumption checks (400*Kand 5% rule).

What is...

1. Smallest initial [] > 400*Kc

2. x / smallest initial [] ≤ 5%

(where x is the value found in the ice table)

Will the following mixture result in a buffer solution? Explain why or why not.


100 mL of 0.40M NaOH added to 200 mL of 0.20 M HClO2.

What is...

no it will not! All of the HClOis neutralized by the OH-.

200

What is the reaction for this cell notation? 

Tl(s) | Tl+(aq) || Sn2+(aq) | Sn(s)

What is...

2Tl(s) + Sn2+(aq) → 2Tl+(aq) + Sn(s)

200

What is the sign of the anode in an electrolytic cell?

What is...

positive!

200

What is the coordination number of the following complex?

[Co(en)3]2+?

What is...

CN = 6!

REMEMBER! The coordination number equals the number of BONDS, not the number of ligands!

2H2S(g) ⇌ 2H2(g) + S2(g) and K= 9.3 x 10-8 at 700°C.

If 0.45 moles of H2S is placed in a 3.0 L container, what is the equilibrium concentration of H2(g) at 700°C?

HINT! You might need an ice table!

What is...

0.0016 M H2(g).

A 0.15M solution of butanoic acid contains 1.51 x 10-3 M H3O+. What is the percent dissociation?

What is...

1.01%.

300

Aqueous solutions of 1.0 NiI2 and 1.0 KBr are mixed and electrolyzed. What are the products at pH = 7?

What is...

Ni at the cathode, I2 at the anode.

300

Which Group1A alkali metal reacts with O2 gas to form a peroxide (O22-)? 

What is...

sodium! 2Na(s) + O2(g) --> Na2O2(s)

(Lithium reacts with O2(g) to form an oxide. K, Rb, and Cs react with O2(g) to form a superoxide).

300

What is the shape of the coordination complex [PdCl4]2-?

What is...

Square planar! (d8 metals are mostly found as square planar complexes).

REMEMBER: 1st row transition metals (3d metals) HALIDES are typically tetrahedral (so [MnCl4]2- would be tetrahedral).
