2-8-18 -4  <----

last number of the electron configuration on the Periodic table

32 Which element is paired with an excited-state electron configuration for an atom of the element?

(1) Ca: 2-8-8-2     (2) Na:   2-8-2

(3) K: 2-6-8-3       (4) F:  2-8

3linkexcited states have an electron that has jumped up

K should be 2-8-8-1  (ground state)

 

33 Given the balanced equations representing two chemical reactions:

Cl2 + 2NaBr ---> 2NaCl + Br2

2NaCl---> 2Na + Cl2

Which types of chemical reactions are represented by these equations?

(1) single replacement and decomposition

(2) single replacement and double replacement

(3) synthesis and decomposition

(4) synthesis and double replacement

34 An ion that consists of 7 protons, 6 neutrons, and 10 electrons has a net charge of

(I ) 4-     (3) 3+

(2) 3-      (4) 4+

3linkthe charge is the difference between the positive protons and negative electrons

 

35 Which Lewis electron-dot diagram represents a molecule having a nonpolar covalent bond?

1link 

2 of the same element bonded= nonpolar bond

36 Which quantity is equal to 50 kilojoules?

(I ) 0.05J        (3) 5 x 103J

(2)   500J       (4) 5 x 104J

4 first replace kilo with x 103  (table C prefixes)

50 x 103 which is 5 x 104

37 Which compound is formed from its elements by an exothermic reaction at 298 K and 101.3 kPa?

(1) C2H4(g)       (2) HI(g)

(3) H2O(g)        (4) NO2(g)

3linkTable I  exothermic has a negative delta H

 

38 At which temperature is the vapor pressure of ethanol equal to 80. kPa?

(1) 48°C     (3) 80. °C

(2) 73°C     (4) 101 °C

39 At 25°C, gas in a rigid cylinder with a movable  piston has a volume of 145 mL and a pressure of  125 kPa. Then the gas is compressed to a volume of 80. mL. What is the new pressure of the gas if the temperature is held at 25°C?

(1) 69 kPa            (3) 160 kPa

(2) 93 kPa            (4) 230 kPa

4link

 

PV=PV  (temperature is constant, so leave it out)

145ml x 125kPa= P x 80.ml

226 kPa=P

230kPa=P (sig figs)

40 A 2400.-gram sample of an aqueous solution contains 0.012 gram of NH3. What is the concentration of NH3 in the solution, expressed as parts per million?

(1) 5.0 ppm        (2) 15 ppm       (3) 20. ppm      (4) 50. ppm

1link 

(0.012g/2400.g) x 1,000,000=5.0ppm
