What is true of all chemical reactions?

  • Atoms rearrange themselves to form new molecules.
  • Reactants combine together to form a single new product.
  • Atoms change to other atoms and form new molecules.
  • Energy is released to the surrounding.
  • All of the above.

Atoms rearrange themselves to form new molecules.

In the following reaction, what's the molar ratio between oxygen and carbon dioxide?

4C2H3Br3 + 11O2 → 8CO2 + 6H2O + 6Br2

11 mol O/8 mol CO2

100

How many valence electrons do the following atoms have:

Carbon

Potassium

Sulfur

Carbon   4

Potassium    1

Sulfur    6

What is radioactivity? 

(Your answer must include the two most important points!)

spontaneous change of the nucleus that releases energy.

What was the plum-pudding model of the atom? What was the experiment that disproved this model?

The plum-pudding model stated that atoms have an evenly distributed mass rather than a dense mass in the center (nucleus). The gold foil experiment shows that particles bounce of the atom, thus proving there is a dense center.

What is an acid?

What is the difference between a strong acid and a weak acid?

An acid contains a H+ that can easily come apart in water.

Strong acids come apart completely in water, weak acids do not. 

200

If 1 mol of each reactant is allowed to react in the following manner, which would be the limiting reactant?

                 2SO2(g) + O2 -> 2SO3(g)


SO2

More of it is consumed, so it will run out first. 

200

How many orbits does a calcium atom have?

Four orbits!

It's in the fourth period

200
Why is ionizing radiation so dangerous?

It can take an electron off of water's atoms and cause it to be super reactive, which is harmful to the body!

200

Which of the following points about Dalton’s Atomic theory is false?

  • Everything is made up of tiny particles called atoms.
  • Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or subdivided.
  • All atoms of a given element are identical to each other in all properties.
  • Atoms can never change into atoms of other elements.

Atoms can never change into atoms of other elements.


Nuclear chemistry shows us that this can happen!

What arethe chemical formulae for the following compounds?

Calcium oxide

Iron(III) fluoride

Nickel(II) nitride

CaO

FeF3

Ni3N2

How many mol of H2O are produced when 20.0 mol of O2 react according to the following reaction:

4C2H3Br3 + 11O2 → 8CO2 + 6H2O + 6Br2

10.9 mol

What is the variable for wavelength? How does the wavelength of a photon change with:

increasing frequency

increasing energy

λ

In both cases, wavelength decreases!

300

Write the equation for the following particle undergoing beta decay:

23993 Np

23993Np -> 0-1e + 23994Pu

A molecule was found to have an empirical formula of NH3. Which of the following cannot be the molar mass of this compound?

  • 34.1 g/mol
  • 85.2 g/mol
  • 93.7 g/mol
  • 136.2 g/mol

93.7 g/mol

Balance the following reaction and determine what type of reaction it is:

__C6H6(aq) + __O2(g) -> __CO2(g) + __H2O(g)


Reaction Type: ______________________________

2C6H6(aq) + 15O2(g) -> 12CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

Combustion

Write out the following neutralization reaction:

Hydrobromic acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide

2HBr(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s) -> 2H2O(l) + MgBr2(aq)

500

What mass of sulfur dioxide was consumed if 12.4 g of sulfur trioxide forms in the following reaction with excess oxygen?

       2SO2(g)       +        O2        ->       2SO3(g)

  64.058 g/mol      31.998 g/mol       80.057 g/mol

9.92 g

500

Order these atoms by increasing atomic radii:

Cl-     Ar      K+

Opposite!

K+      Ar      Cl-

(More electrons means more repulsion, and thus larger)

How much energy is released per mole in the following fusion reaction:

21H + 31H -> 42He + 11n

21H = 2.01410 amu

31H = 3.01605 amu

42He = 4.00260

11n = 1.00866

5.03015 amu -> 5.01126

Change of 0.01889

1.71 x 1012 J
