What is the relationship between Carbon-12 and Carbon-13?

Carbon-12 and Carbon-13 are isotopes
100

How many neutrons, protons, and electrons are contained in a neutral atom of Chromium-52?

P: 24, N: 28, E: 24

What is the ideal gas law equation?

PV = nRT

200

Is boiling point an intensive or extensive property?

Intensive property
200

The atoms of a substance start moving faster. Did the kinetic energy of the atoms increase or decrease? What about the temperature?

Kinetic Energy: increases

Temperature: increases

200

Write the isotope notation and isotope name for an element with 34 neutrons, 29 protons, and 29 electrons. 

6329Cu 

Copper-63

For ideal gases, do volume and temperature have a direct or inverse relationship?

Direct. 

PV = nRT. As V increases, T must also increase.

Ms. Gelfand is bad at sharing, and is convinced that the cookies her siblings were given are bigger than the cookie she was given. Knowing that the average cookie is 4 in2, she measures each cookie and gets the following areas for all four cookies: 4.4 in2, 4.1 in2, 3.8 in2, 4.05 in2

Are these measurements accurate, precise, both, or neither?

Accurate but not precise

400

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy of a substance

Heat is the transfer of energy between substances

Draw two gas particle diagrams: one for a gas at high temperature, and one for a gas at low temperature. 

Lower temperature: shorter arrows

Higher temperature: longer arrows

Yesterday, Ms. Gelfand found a rock on her hike that had a mass of 7.45g. She takes a graduated cylinder filled with 10 mL of water, and drops the rock in the water. The graduated cylinder now reads 12.5 mL. What is the density of Ms. Gelfand’s rock? Include units!

2.98 g/mL

You are trying to determine the best material to use to make a hand warmer. You take a calorimeter made out of a styrofoam cup filled with 100 g water at 23oC, and place a 73g sample of CaCl2 inside. You record the temperature inside the styrofoam cup until you notice that the temperature stops changing – at 25.4oC. If the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/goC, what is the change in energy for this reaction?

1,735.5 J

Q = mcΔT = 173g(4.18 J/goC)(25.4oC – 23oC) = 732.3 J

A (fake) element, Washingtonium, has the following percent abundances:

  • Washingtonium-86: 73%

  • Washingtonium-87: 22%

  • Washingtonium-88: 5%

What is the average atomic mass of Washingtonium? 

86.32 amu

86 amu(.73) + 87 amu(.22) + 88 amu(.05) = 86.32 amu

What is the pressure of 4.2 moles of oxygen gas at 25oC that occupy a volume of 12.5 L? Give units!

8.2 atm

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V 

((4.2 moles)(0.0821 (L*atm)/(K*mol))(298.15 K))/12.5L = 8.2 atm
