Term
Which of the following is true for a reaction occurring at 25°C that has a positive ΔH value?
A) The reaction will be spontaneous if ΔH<ΔS
B) The reaction will be spontaneous if ΔH>ΔS
C) The reaction will be spontaneous for any value of ΔH
D) The reaction will be non-spontaneous for any value of ΔH |
|
Definition
A) The reaction will be spontaneous if ΔH<ΔS
For a reaction to be spontaneous ΔG must be negative meaning ΔH needs to be negative (exothermic) and disorder (a positive ΔS)

Term
Vaporization is which of the following types of processes?
A) Endothermic
B) Exothermic
C) Is a chemical change from solid to gas
D) Is a chemical change from liquid to gas
E) Is a physical change from solid to gas
|
|
Definition
A) Endothermic
It is a liquid to gas physical phase change
During vaporization bonds are broken as the molecules enter a less organized and higher entropic stage |

Term
If a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen contains 1 mol of N2 and 2 mol of O2 and the total pressure is 180kPa. What is the partial pressure N2? |
|
Definition
Step 1 :Obtain the mole fraction by dividing the moles of gas by the total moles in the system
Mole fraction of nitrogen is 1/3
Step 2: Multiply the mole fraction by the total pressure
(1/3)*(180)= 60 kPa |

A) Rate =k [A][B]
B) Rate=k[A][B]2
C) Rate=k [A]2[B]
D) Rate=k [A]2[B]2 |
|
Definition
The rate equation is Rate=k [A]x[B]y
First we compare 2 rates with a common factor like Rate 2 and Rate 1 that share the same [B] concentration.
[image]
When we simplify we get 16=4x where x=2
Next we do the same for for reagent B by comparing rates 3 and 1
[image]
When we simplify 4=2y which gives us y=2
If we combine the 2 we get D) Rate=k [A]2[B]2 |

Term
How many electrons are involved in the following basic redox reaction?
4Zn + NO3-+7OH- + 6 H2O → 4Zn(OH)42- +NH3
A) 2
B) 4
C) 6
D) 8 |
|
Definition
Since this a redox reaction we must break the reaction into oxidation and reduction half reactions
Oxidation : Zn →Zn(OH)42-
Reduction : NO3- → NH3
Then we balance the individual half-reactions. We first balance all non hydrogen and oxygen elements. Then add as much water as needed to balance the oxygens. Then add protons to balance the hydrogens. Then check charges and balance them.
This will reveal how many electrons are involved |

D) H2S
E) CH4 |
|
Definition
D) H2S
The SH bonds are different in electronegativity and this are polar. |
