in an atom of chlorine in an excited state? (1) 2-7-7 (3) 2-8-7 (2) 2-7-8 (4) 2-8-8 |
2 | 17 electrons and one is promoted |
![]() |
1 | physical change is a change in intermolecular distances |
| 33 What is the percent composition by mass of
nitrogen in NH4NO3 (gram-formula mass = 80.0
grams/mole)? (1) 17.5% (3) 52.5% (2) 35.0% (4) 60.0% |
2 | (2N x 14 / 80) x 100% |
| 34 The atomic mass of element A is 63.6 atomic
mass units. The only naturally occurring isotopes
of element A are A-63 and A-65. The percent
abundances in a naturally occurring sample
of element A are closest to (1) 31% A-63 and 69% A-65 (2) 50% A-63 and 50% A-65 (3) 69% A-63 and 31% A-65 (4) 100% A-63 and 0% A-65 |
3 | mostly 63 because the atomic mass is closest to that number. More than 50%. |
| 35 Elements Q, X, and Z are in the same group on
the Periodic Table and are listed in order of
increasing atomic number. The melting point of
element Q is –219°C and the melting point of
element Z is –7°C. Which temperature is closest
to the melting point of element X? (1) –7°C (3) –219°C (2) –101°C (4) –226°C |
2 | between the -7 and -219 |

4 | 2/1 C2H6
= x/ 2C x=4 |
| 37 Given the balanced equation: 2KClO3==> 2KCl + 3O2 Which type of reaction is represented by this equation? (1) synthesis (2) decomposition (3) single replacement (4) double replacement |
2 | AB==> A + B decomposition |
