8. A gas at STP that contains 6.02 × 1023 atoms and forms diatomic molecules will occupy
A. 11.2 L
B. 22.4 L
C. 33.6 L
D. 67.2 L
E. 1.06 qt
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) If the gas is diatomic, then 6.02 × 1023 atoms will form 6.02 × 1023/2 molecules. At STP, 6.02 ×
1023 molecules occupy 22.4 L, so half that number will occupy 11.2 L.
11. The bond that includes an upper and a lower sharing of electron orbital is called
A. a pi bond
B. a sigma bond
C. a hydrogen bond
D. a covalent bond
E. an ionic bond
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) The pi bond is a bond between two p orbital, like this:
12. What is the boiling point of water at the top of Pikes Peak?
A. It is 100°C.
B. It is >100°C since the pressure is less than at ground level.
C. It is <100°C since the pressure is less than at ground level.
D. It is >100°C since the pressure is greater than at ground level.
E. It is <100°C since the pressure is greater than at ground level.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) At Pikes Peak (alt. approx. 14,000 ft) the pressure is lower than at ground level; therefore the vapor
pressure at a lower temperature will equal the outside pressure and boiling will occur.
13. The atomic structure of the alkane series contains the hybrid orbitals designated as
A. sp
B. sp2
C. sp3
D. sp3d2
E. sp4d3
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
(C) The alkanes contain the sp3 hybrid orbitals.
16. All of the following statements are true for this reaction EXCEPT
HCl(g) + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
A. H3O+ is the conjugate acid of H2O.
B. Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl.
C. H2O is behaving as a Brønsted-Lowry base.
D. HCl is a weaker Brønsted-Lowry acid than H2O.
E. The reaction essentially goes to completion.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
(D) HCl is actually a stronger Brønsted-Lowry acid than H2O, which is why the reaction occurs as shown.
18. Which of the following salts will hydrolyze in water to form basic solutions?
I. NaCl
II. CuSO4
III. K3PO4
A. I only
B. III only
C. I and II only
D. II and III only
E. I, II, and III
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(B) III is a salt from a strong base and a weak acid, which hydrolyzes to form a basic solution with water.
19. When 1 mole of NaCl is dissolved in 1,000 grams of water, the boiling point of the water is changed to
A. 100.51°C
B. 101.02°C
C. 101.53°C
D. 101.86°C
E. 103.62°C
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(B) Since the boiling point is increased by 0.51°C for each mole of particles, 1 mol of NaCl → Na + +
Cl- gives 2 mol of particles. Therefore the boiling point will be 1.02° higher or 101.02°C.

If the reaction in question 44 created a gas, where would the contents of the flask be expelled under
these conditions?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) At first the fluid will be expelled up the thistle tube by the gas generated and exerting pressure in the
reaction flask. When the level of the fluid falls below the end of the thistle tube, the gas will then be
released through the thistle tube.
