Answers and Explanations
Chapter 5
- D—The others form anions.
- B—Decreasing radii for increasing charges, or for
going up a column (with equal charges), or
moving towards the right in a period of the peri-
odic table. (Note: This explanation would not be
sufficient for the free response portion of the test.) - C—The element that is furthest from F.
- E—Hexaammine =(NH 3 ) 6 ; cobalt(III) =Co^3 +;
and nitrate =NO 3 −. - D—This was determined by bombarding gold
foil with alpha particles.
Chapter 6
- A—All others, except D, are Lewis bases. D is
neither a Lewis acid nor a Lewis base. - A.
3 Mn(OH) 2 (s) +2 H 3 AsO 4 (aq)
→ Mn 3 (AsO 4 ) 2 (s) +6 H 2 O(l)
- E—PbSO 4 forms.
- A—[Cu(NH 3 ) 4 ]^2 +forms.
- C—Fe(OH ) 3 forms.
- D—Ca(OH) 2 , NaOH, and Na 2 CO 3 are strong
electrolytes and should be separated. Cancel all
spectator ions (Na+and OH–). - C—The hydroxide took some of the iron with it,
so Fe^2 +will be low. The nitrate is double the potas-
sium because there are two nitrates per iron(II)
nitrate instead of one, as in potassium hydroxide.
Chapter 7
- C—(0.1000 mol Cr 2 O 72 −/1000 mL) (45.20 mL)
(6 mol Fe^2 +/1 mol Cr 2 O 72 −)(1/75.00 mL)
(1000 mL/L) - E—Percent Mn in each oxide: (A)77.4; (B) 69.6;
(C) 72.0; (D) 63.2; (E) 49.5.
15. A—H 2 C 2 O 4 is the limiting reagent.
16. A—(0.400 mol Ba)(l mol H 2 /l mol Ba) (22.4 L/mol)
Chapter 8
- E—This is an application of Charles’s law.
- D—The heavier gas is moving more slowly.
- E—The basic difference between ideal and real
gases. - D—(13.5 g Al)(1 mol Al/27.0 g Al)
(3 mol H 2 /2 mol Al)(22.4 L/mol H 2 ) - A—The mole fraction of CO times the total pres-
sure yields the partial pressure. The mole fraction of
CO is the moles of CO divided by the total moles. - A—n =PV/RT =(0.993 atm)(0.237 L)/
(0.0821 L atm/K mol)(373 K)
=7.69 × 10 −^3 mol
molar mass =0.548 g/7.69 × 10 −^3 mol
= 71.3g/mol
- A—The molar mass of the gas must be the square
of the molar mass of helium.
Chapter 9
- E—Definition.
- C—Basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory.
- A—One of the properties of free energy.
- B—Definition.
- B.
