(l) phases.


  1. Second, write K = [products]/[reactants]

  2. Third, all coefficients in front of molecules become
    exponents in the equilibrium expression.


Therefore,  the correct choice  is  (A).


  1. D A conjugate acid/base pair is a set of 2 molecules/ions that have identical
    molecular formulas, except that one of them has one more H+ than the
    other. Only choice (D) represents a true pair of conjugates.

  2. B The starting solution has a pH of 3.5. Therefore, the starting solution
    must be acidic. We can eliminate choices (C) and (D) because they are
    bases. The subsequent titration experiment revealed a single equivalence
    point, so the acid in question must be monoprotic—eliminate choice (E).
    Since the equivalence point comes at pH 7, the unknown acid must be
    strong. HCl is the only monoprotic strong acid given, choice (B).

  3. E Statements (A) through (D) can all be determined with data obtained
    from a titration experiment.

  4. A The phase changes associated with the terms are


deposition  (gas    →   solid)

sublimation (solid  →   gas)

liquefaction    (gas→   liquid)

fusion  (solid  →   liquid)

vaporization    (liquid →   gas)


  1. D The molecular formulas associated with the IUPAC names for organic
    molecules are


methane:                                                CH 4

ethane:                                                         CH 3 CH 3
