What is the ideal gas law equation?

PV = nRT

200

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

Is this an example of fission or fusion?


Fission

200

Which of these ions has the greatest number of electrons? 

O2-, K+, Mg2+, N3-

K+

200

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

Direct. 

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

a. A piece of wood rotting after it gets wet

b. An ice cube melts when placed in the sun

c. An egg is cooked on a pan

d. A piece of paper starts burning after accidentally touching a candle

b. An ice cube melts when placed in the sun

List the following in order of increasing electronegativity: Sodium (Na), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Fluorine (F).

Sodium (Na) < Phosphorus (P) < Nitrogen (N) < Fluorine (F)

300

What are the two rules/assumptions for ideal gases? 

  1. Molecules do not attract or repel each other, and have elastic collisions.

  2. Molecules take up no volume, and are estimated as point particles.

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 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?

732.3 J

Q = mcΔT = 73g(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
