- A 30.00 g sample of metal (X) was heated to
100.00°C. This sample was clamped in contact
with a 40.00 g sample of a different metal (Y)
originally at 25.00°C. The final temperature of
the two metals was 37.30°C, and no heat was
lost to the surroundings. What is one possible
conclusion from this experiment?
(A) The heat lost by X was greater than the
heat gained by the Y.
(B) The heat lost by X was equal to the heat
gained by Y.
(C) The heat lost by X was less than the heat
gained by Y.
(D) The final temperature was incorrectly
determined, as it should be the average
(62.50°C).

- The Dumas method is a procedure for determin-
ing the molar mass of a gas. In this procedure the
mass of a gas is divided by the moles of gas deter-
mined from the ideal gas equation (n = PV/RT ).
The molar masses of some compounds, such as
acetic acid, illustrated above, show significant
deviations from the “correct” values. Why does
the presence of dimers as illustrated make it
unlikely to obtain an accurate molar mass of
acids, such as acetic acid?
(A) Acetic acid, like all acids, will lose a hydro-
gen ion, so the molar mass is that of the
acetate ion, which is less than that of acetic
acid.
(B) Acetic acid is a liquid at room temperature,
and its boiling point is too high to get
accurate results.
(C) Acids are too reactive to give accurate
results.
(D) The presence of strong intermolecular
forces (hydrogen bonding) makes the gas
nonideal; therefore the ideal gas law is not
applicable. - In which of the following groups are the species
listed correctly in order of increasing ionization
energy?
(A) Sr, Ca, Ba
(B) Se, Tc, Ba
(C) Mn, Fe, Ni
(D) Cl, Br, I
