Questions

AnswerExplanations
41 Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
2HCl(aq) + Na2S2O3(aq)--> S(s) + H2SO3(aq) + 2NaCl(aq)
Decreasing the concentration of Na2S2O3(aq) decreases the rate of reaction
because the
(1) activation energy decreases
(2) activation energy increases
(3) frequency of effective collisions decreases
(4) frequency of effective collisions increases		3reaction=effective collision
42 Given the equation representing a reaction at equilibrium:
H2(g) + I2(g) + heat--> 2HI(g)
Which change favors the reverse reaction?
(1) decreasing the concentration of HI(g)
(2) decreasing the temperature
(3) increasing the concentration of I2(g)
(4) increasing the pressure		2decreasing a reactant replaces the reactant

temp can be considered "heat"

4but means 4 carbons

-ene  a double bond

2- the double bond is on the second carbon

44 Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
Fe2O3 + 2Al--> Al2O3 + 2Fe
During this reaction, the oxidation number of Fe changes from
(1) +2 to 0 as electrons are transferred
(2) +2 to 0 as protons are transferred
(3) +3 to 0 as electrons are transferred
(4) +3 to 0 as protons are transferred		3redox electrons are transferred
45 Which reaction occurs spontaneously?
(1) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq)
(2) Cl2(g) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaCl(aq)
(3) I2(s) + 2NaBr(aq)--> Br2(l) + 2NaI(aq)
(4) I2(s) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaI(aq)		1Using TABLE J

Cl2 can replace Br2

46 Which sample of HCl(aq) contains the greatest number of moles of solute particles?
(1) 1.0 L of 2.0 M HCl(aq)
(2) 2.0 L of 2.0 M HCl(aq)
(3) 3.0 L of 0.50 M HCl(aq)
(4) 4.0 L of 0.50 M HCl(aq)		2multiply Molarity and Liters to get moles

 

M=mol/Liters

47 Which change in pH represents a hundredfold increase in the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution?
(1) pH 1 to pH 2     (3) pH 2 to pH 1
(2) pH 1 to pH 3     (4) pH 3 to pH 1		4Hydronium is H3O+ more acidic pH decreases

100 has 2 zeros pH changes by 2

48 Which indicator would best distinguish between a solution with a pH of 3.5 and a solution with a pH of 5.5?
(1) bromthymol blue     (3) litmus
(2) bromcresol green    (4) thymol blue		2Table M
49 Given the equation:
HCl(g) + H2O(l)--> X(aq) + Cl--(aq)
Which ion is represented by X?
(1) hydroxide     (3) hypochlorite
(2) hydronium    (4) perchlorate		2Hydronium is H3O+
50 Which nuclide is used to investigate human
thyroid gland disorders?
(1) carbon-14          (3) cobalt-60
(2) potassium-37     (4) iodine-131		4Iodide =Thyroid Just memorize it
