  1. Which of the following oxides dissolves in water to form an acidic solution?


(A) Na 2 O
(B) CaO
(C) Al 2 O 3
(D) ZnO
(E) SO 3



  1. In the laboratory, 20.0 milliliters of an aqueous solution of calcium
    hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2 , was used in a titration. A drop of phenolphthalein was
    added to it to indicate the end point. The solution turned colorless after 20.0
    milliliters of a standard solution of 0.050 M HCl solution was added. What
    was the molarity of the Ca(OH) 2?
    (A) 0.010 M
    (B) 0.025 M
    (C) 0.50 M
    (D) 0.75 M
    (E) 1.0 M




  2. Which of the following reactions will NOT occur spontaneously?




(A) Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl 2 (aq) + H 2 (g)

(B) CaCO 3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2 (aq) + H 2 O(aq) + CO 2 (g)

(C) Ag+(aq) + HCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + H+(aq)

(D) Cu(s) + 2H+(aq) → Cu2+(aq) + H 2 (g)

(E) H 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2H 2 O(aq)



  1. For a laboratory experiment, a student placed sodium hydroxide crystals on a
    watch glass, assembled the titration equipment, and prepared a solution of
    0.10 M sulfuric acid. Then he weighed 4 grams of sodium hydroxide and
    added it to enough water to make 1 liter of solution. What might be a source of
    error in the results of the titration?
    (A) Some sulfuric acid evaporated.
    (B) The sulfuric acid became more concentrated.
    (C) The NaOH solution gained weight, thus increasing its molarity.
    (D) The NaOH crystals gained H 2 O weight, thus making the solution
    less than 0.1 M.
    (E) The evaporation of sulfuric acid solution countered the absorption
    of H 2 O by the NaOH solution.




  2. If 60. grams of NO is reacted with sufficient O 2 to form NO 2 that is removed
