A small amount of the pure gas is released from a pressurized container and collected in a graduated tube over water at room temperature, as shown in the diagram above. The collection tube containing the gas is allowed to stand for several minutes, and its depth is adjusted until the water levels inside and outside the tube are the same. Assume that: • the gas is not appreciably soluble in water • the gas collected in the graduated tube and the water are in thermal equilibrium • a barometer, a thermometer, an analytical balance, and a table of the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at various temperatures are also available.

Write the expression (set-up) for calculating the percent error in the experimental value, assuming that the unknown gas is butane (molar mass 58 g mol−1). Calculations are not required. (e) If the student fails to use information from the table of the equilibrium vapor pressures of water in the calculation, the calculated value for the molar mass of the unknown gas will be smaller than the actual value. Explain. 1999 6. Answer the following questions in terms of thermodynamic principles and concepts of kinetic molecular theory. (a) Consider the reaction represented below, which is spontaneous at 298 K. CO2(g) + 2 NH3(g) → CO(NH2)2(s) + H2O(l) D D H298 = -134 kJ D , is positive, or negative, or zero.

ANS: E MSC: 1999 #16 Fluorine gas is a yellow irritating toxic flammable gas and a powerful oxidizing agent. Fluorine is the smallest of the halogens, therefore it has the least number of electrons and is least polarizable. That means it has the weakest IMFs among its family which is why fluorine and chlorine (also small) are gases, bromine is a liquid and iodine is a gas at room temperature. DIF: Easy 18.

DIF: Easy TOP: Periodicity MSC: 1999 #18 5 NOT: 67% answered correctly ID: A MULTIPLE CHOICE 19. ANS: C The combustion of octane [primary component of gasoline] is thermodynamically spontaneous. The spark supplies energy that contributes to the acquisition of the activation energy for the reaction. Temperature also plays a role since it factors into molecular motion. The spark is an electric spark. The spark is not a catalyst and cannot decrease the activation energy. The spark does not vaporize, thus cannot increase the concentration of the volatile reactant. The spark is not a reactant and thus cannot combine with other reactants to form an activated complex. The spark does not provide the heat of vaporization for the volatile hydrocarbon. Heat of vaporization relates to evaporation, not combustion. DIF: Easy TOP: Kinetics MSC: 1999 #19 NOT: 73% answered correctly 20. ANS: B You were only given one starting amount (and it says excess hydrogen), so you have not entered the “land of limiting reactant”. Whew! You were given the number of moles of reactant, but must calculate the mass of the product which will require that you supply a balanced equation. Au2S3 + H2 → Au + HxSy If 0.0500 moles of Au2S3 completely reacts (not a limiting reactant), then 0.100 moles of Au was formed. The MM of Au is 197, so 1/10 mole × 197 g/mol = 19.7 g DIF: Medium TOP: Stoichiometry MSC: 1999 #20 NOT: 55% answered correctly 21. ANS: B It is the sodium that is making the color in the flame. When the sodium electrons in the are excited, they jump to higher energy levels. As the electrons fall back down, and leave the excited state, energy is re-emitted, the wavelength of which refers to the discrete lines of the emission spectrum. The only way to see the entire spectrum is to view the flame test through a diffraction grating. Otherwise, you get a general, qualitative result as shown below. Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test for a chart of which metals produce which colors. DIF: Hard TOP: Lab MSC: 1999 #21 6 NOT: 33% answered correctly ID: A 22. ANS: E In other words, which reaction system becomes more ordered as the reaction proceeds? Look for formation of the more condensed states (preferably solids). The reaction in (C) forms three moles of solid from three moles of solid while the reaction in E forms only two moles of solid from four moles of solid and three moles of gas, bringing much more order to the system. DIF: Easy TOP: Thermodynamics MSC: 1999 #22 NOT: 68% answered correctly 23. ANS: E A helium balloon floats because it contains a gas that is lighter than the surrounding air. An air-filled balloon floats because the hot air inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air. As the air is warmed, the distances between gas particles increase causing the gas to be less dense. Remember, heat does not rise! Heat travels from hot to cold, not “up”. Saying “heat” rises is a misnomer. What we should say is that warmed air expands and is less dense [again, due to increased distance between particles], thus it floats and carries thermal energy with it. DIF: Easy TOP: Gas Laws MSC: 1999 #23 NOT: 67% answered correctly 24. ANS: D Obviously, flushing the area is the first step. Since acid is the splash culprit, it would be best to follow with a weak base wash as well to neutralize any residual acid on the skin. DIF: Hard TOP: Lab MSC: 1999 #24 NOT: 20% answered correctly 25. ANS: C P to Q shows the liquid cooling to a supercooled state. Most likely the liquid was not stirred during the cooling. Once it is stirred, or a seed crystal is added, the temperature rises as the heat of crystallization is released (points Q to R) and the freezing point is reached. Note that the temperature (KEave) remains constant throughout the freezing process from points R to S. So, solid must be present from points Q to S. DIF: Medium TOP: States of Matter NOT: 57% answered correctly 26. ANS: C The correctly balanced equation is: MSC: 1999 #25 10 C10H12O4S(s) + 12 O2(g) → 10 CO2(g) + SO2(g) + 6 H2O(g) Note that when compounds containing nonmetals are combusted, that oxides of the nonmetals form. DIF: Easy TOP: Chemical Reactions MSC: 1999 #26 NOT: 74% answered correctly 27. ANS: A A visible-light spectrophotometer is used for measuring absorbance or transmittance of light in a colored solution at a certain wavelength. I. Solutions containing ions of transition metals with unpaired d-electrons are colored. Those containing Cu2+ are blue. II. We use a conductivity apparatus or conductivity probe to measure the conductivity of a solution. III. The ions listed are not transition metals with unpaired d-electrons, thus solutions containing these ions are colorless. DIF: Hard TOP: Lab MSC: 1999 #27 7 NOT: 16% answered correctly ID: A 28. ANS: B When asked about melting points, (or FP, BP, vapor pressure, etc.) your thought process should run something like this: Is this compound covalent (nonmetal-nonmetal) or ionic (metal-nonmetal)? If it is covalent, think IMFs and consider polarizability of the molecule due to how many overall electrons are present. The more electrons present, the larger the electron cloud, the more polarizable it is. If it is ionic, think in terms of Coulomb’s Law and do the math! (+2) (−2) (+1) (−1) and for NaF, F = 2 d d d2 The “players” in these molecules are neighbors, so their ionic radii d is about the same. It’s the difference in charges that greatly increase the attractive Coulombic-force between the ions in the crystal. You can clearly see that the Coulombic-force attraction ions in the MgO crystal is about 4 times greater than those attracting ions in the NaF crystal, so MgO will have a much higher melting point.

Since the temperature is held constant the average KE of the molecules remains the same and since their mass remains constant (only oxygen in the tank), their velocity also remains constant.

DIF: Hard TOP: Equilibrium MSC: 1999 #54 NOT: 35% answered correctly 55. ANS: D The “trick” to getting this one correct is to recognize that you have entered the “land of limiting reagent”! You were given the number of moles of three reactants. Determine the limiting reagent. Start by using I 2 since it is the smallest starting amount coupled with the highest coefficient. If 5 = 2.5 mol, then 10 = 5.0 mol. Calculate subsequent moles ( if 10 = 5 mol, then 1 = 1/2 mol, so 2 = 1.0 mol and 3 = 1.5 mol) from that limiting amount of moles using the mole:mole. 10 HI 2 KMnO4 3 H2SO4 ? mol 5.0 mol 4.0 mol 1.0 mol, so plenty is available 3.0 mol 1.5 mol, so plenty is available → 5 I2 2 MnSO4 K2SO4 8 H2 O 2.5 mol limit!

ANS: A The balanced redox reaction is given first, that means the cell potential is E°cell = +2.46 V. Also, it is clear that silver is reduced and its reduction potential is also given. M is therefore oxidized, so solve for the oxidation half-reaction AND DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE ITS SIGN since you are asked for M’s reduction potential. E°cell = E°reduction + E°oxidation The values are given, but you had to figure out the situation! E°cell = +2.46 V and E°reduction = + 0.80 V ∴ E°oxidation = E°cell – E°reduction = (+2.46 V) – (+0.80 V) = +1.66 V so M’s reduction potential is –1.66 V DIF: Medium TOP: Electrochemistry MSC: 1999 #57 NOT: 44% answered correctly 58. ANS: C On mountaintops, the atmospheric pressure is less. The “pull” of gravity originates at the center of earth and acts on the gases in the atmosphere. The further away from the source of our gravitational pull, the less tightly the atmospheric gases are held, the lower the density of air, thus the lower the atmospheric pressure. Water boils when its vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. If the atmospheric pressure is less, less thermal energy must be added to a sample of water to raise its VP to a (lesser) atmospheric pressure.

ANS: E Realize this is a combustion reaction and heat energy is lost. Vaporization is an endothermic process and requires energy. That means some of the energy lost by the combustion system is subsequently reused by the system to vaporize water if H2O(g) is formed. This lowers the total energy yield. As a result, more total energy is lost from the combustion reaction that produces liquid water compared to gaseous water. So, expect that this reaction would yield 2(–44 kJ mol –1) more energy if liquid water is formed rather than water vapor. Both answers D and E yield more energy, but D didn’t factor in that two moles of water are involved. DIF: Hard TOP: Thermochemistry MSC: 1999 #61 NOT: 31% answered correctly 62.

ANS: B It’s a concentration vs. time graph which means you must deal with integrated rate law. Ah, note that one of the reactants Y, has a massive concentration compared to X. That is called “swamping” and is a technique used to determine the order of the nonswamped reactant. IF the graph for reactant X were a straight line with a negative slope, then we’d know it was zero order. Alas, the X line is a curve, so it is not zero order, it is either first or second order, but at least answer (A) is eliminated. What if the data were in a table? [X] from graph 0.20 0.10 0.05 [Y] from graph 4.0 4.0 4.0 We know the rate is changing since the X line is a curve, so the rate is dependent upon decreasing [X] and independent of the concentration of Y¸thus the order of Y is zero--too bad that’s not an answer choice! But at least answer (D) is eliminated. Recall that rate = k[X]m[Y]n, and we just determined Y is zero order, so its exponent is zero and its value in the rate law expression is 1! So, our rate law expression simplifies to rate = k[X]m. Thus, if (C) were correct, then (E) would also be correct and that can’t be, so these choices are eliminated. Answer (B) is all that is left. DIF: Hard TOP: Kinetics MSC: 1999 #63 17 NOT: 34% answered correctly ID: A 64. ANS: A Light gas molecules move faster than heavy ones. So, He moved out quickest, with Ne in second place and Ar dragging up the rear. That left more Ar in the container to exert a greater pressure (more molecules colliding with the container) with Ne being in the middle and He having the fewest molecules remaining, thus exerting the least pressure. So, PHe is less than PNe which is less than PAr. DIF: Medium TOP: Gas Laws MSC: 1999 #64 NOT: 65% answered correctly 65.

Most sulfate salts are soluble. Important exceptions to this rule include BaSO 4, PbSO4, Ag2SO4 and SrSO4, so that leaves only magnesium hydroxide insoluble in water. No need to stress over the “soluble in dilute acid” part. It was a nice clue, that may have led you straight to the only hydroxide. It is important to note that hydroxides of IA and IIA metals are generally strong bases, but the “little IIA guys”, Be and Mg are not very soluble, so they are often classified as weak and written undissociated on the net ionic reaction question.

In other words, you are trying to cull lead ion from the herd of ions given. Pb 2+ ion is not soluble with halides (while halides of other metals are soluble) so, go for the halide. You could make a ppt. of PbS2, but that wouldn’t separate it from the others since iron(II) and copper(II) sulfides would also form. You could make a ppt. of Pb(OH)2, but that wouldn’t separate it from the others either since iron(II) and copper(II) hydroxides would also form. Lead(II) ion doesn’t even precipitate with ammonia. Lead(II) ion would form lead(II) nitrate with nitric acid (the oxidizing acid), which is soluble. DIF: Hard TOP: Lab MSC: 1989 #71 NOT: 32% answered correctly 72. ANS: B Your initial thoughts should be: 1) Either the sample was still “wet”, not enough water was driven out OR 2) The mass of the hydrate was recorded as too large to begin with OR 3) There was a lot of humidity in the laboratory and the solid reabsorbed water. Initially spattering would carry away the hydrate implying its waters of hydration are still intact, so it isn’t just water that splattered out. The amount of the hydrate sample used is irrelevant. Not heating the crucible to constant mass before use leaves water in the pores of the porcelain. The water trapped would be counted as waters of hydration and make the percent reported too high, rather than too low. It is not likely that excess heating would cause the dehydrated sample to decompose since the anhydrous compound is most likely ionic with an extremely high melting point and even higher amounts of heat would be needed for decomposition to occur.

Going from a high energy state to a low energy state means that energy must be emitted. 1 pt Note: The key idea is that the energy of the n = 6 state is higher (more excited) than the lower (less excited) n = 2 state.

Negative wavelength not accepted. (iii) The positive charge holding the electron is greater for He+, which has a 2+ nucleus, than for H with its 1+ nucleus. The stronger attraction means that it requires more energy1 pt for the electron to move to higher energy levels. Therefore, transitions from high energy states to lower states will be more energetic for He+ than for H. Note: Other arguments accepted, such as, “E is proportional to Z 2. Since Z = 2 for He+ and Z = 1 for H, all energy levels in He + are raised (by a factor of 4).” Other accepted answers must refer to the increased charge on the He+ nucleus, and NOT the mass. ______________________________________________________________________________________ One point deduction for mathematical error (maximum once per question) One point deduction for error in significant figures* (maximum once per question) *number of significant figures must be correct within +/− one digit Copyright © 2001 by College Entrance Examination Board.
