312 ❯ STEP 5. Build Your Test-Taking Confidence- What type of reaction generated the nitrogen gas?
 (A) Oxidation-reduction
 (B) Combination
 (C) Decomposition
 (D) Combustion
- Why must the liquid in the flask be dilute acid?
 (A) Dilute acid is necessary to neutralize the
 sodium hydroxide formed.
 (B) Dilute acid removes ammonia from the gas
 leaving the nitrogen behind.
 (C) Dilute acid causes the reaction to go to
 completion.
 (D) Dilute acid is easier to handle than many
 other liquids.
- What is the partial pressure of the hydrogen gas
 in the flask?
 (A) 775.2 torr
 (B) 748.2 torr
 (C) 760.0 torr
 (D) 721.2 torr
- After the system returned to room temperature
 an adjustment was made by raising the beaker
 until the liquid level in both the beaker and the
 flask were the same. Why was this step necessary?
 (A) To remove excess water from the rubber
 tubing and into the beaker
 (B) To equilibrate the pressure in the flask with
 the external pressure
 (C) To make sure all of the hydrogen gas was
 out of the rubber tubing
 (D) To make sure there was no contamination
 by the hydrochloric acid
- Approximately, how many moles of nitrogen gas
 formed?
 (A) 0.1 mole
 (B) 0.02 mole
 (C) 0.005 mole
 (D) 0.01 mole
- If the sample were pure sodium azide, approximately
 how many moles of nitrogen gas would form?
 (A) 0.04 mole
 (B) 0.002 mole
 (C) 0.02 mole
 (D) 0.2 mole
 7. Would it be possible to use this experimental
 setup to study a reaction that produced gaseous
 sulfur dioxide, SO 2? If not, why?
 (A) No, because some of the sulfur dioxide gas
 would dissolve in the acid.
 (B) No, because sulfur dioxide reacts with acids
 to produce solid sulfur.
 (C) No, because sulfur dioxide is only a gas at
 very high temperatures.
 (D) Yes, this apparatus could be used.

- If about 88% of a sample of pure^131 I decays in
 24 days, what is the approximate half-life of^131 I?
 (A) 24 days
 (B) 16 days
 (C) 8 days
