26.A 1.0 L sample of an aqueous solution contains 0.10 mol of NaCl and 0.10 mol of CaCl2. What is the minimum number of moles of AgNO3 that must be added to the solution in order to precipitate all of the Cl- as AgCl(s)? (Assume that AgCl is insoluble.)

ANALYSIS: 0.10 mol of NaCl contains 0.10 mol Cl- ions. 0.10 mol of CaCl2 contains 0.20 mol Cl- ions. Ag & Cl combine in a 1 mol:1 mol ratio and 1 mol AgNO3 produces 1 mol Ag+ ions. SO, if you have 0.30 mol Cl- ions, you need 0.30 mol Ag+ ions, and therefore, 0.30 mol AgNO3.

(A)0.10 mol(B) 0.20 mol(C)0.30 mol(D) 0.40 mol(E) 0.60 mol

27. Of the following molecules, which has the largest dipole moment?

(A) CO(B) CO2(C) O2(D) HF(E) F2

ANALYSIS: Immediately rule out B, C and E. There is no dipole moment for any of these molecules! C & E b/c they are diatomic. There is NO difference in electronegativity, therefore, no dipole moment can exist! For B, CO2 has a bond dipole for each of the two C=O bonds. However, this is a linear molecule and the dipoles face in opposite directions, creating no + and – end of the molecule. Of the remaining choices, A) CO and D) HF, electronegativity differences between the 2 atoms is greater in D. This means that Q is greater for HF. In addition, a CO triple bond is VERY short, whereas an HF single bond is not as short. This means r is also greater for HF. Since Dipole moment, μ = Qr, μ is greater for HF than it is for CO.

28. When hafnium metal is heated in an atmosphere of chlorine gas, the product of the reaction is found to contain 62.2 percent Hf by mass and 37.4 percent Cl by mass. What is the empirical formula for this compound?

(A) HfCl(B) HfCl2(C) HfCl3(D) HfCl4(E) Hf2Cl3

ANALYSIS: Assume 62.2 g Hf & 37.4 g Cl (this gives approx 100 g of product). Use each of these assumed masses to determine the moles of each element present in the compound.

62.2 g Hf x 1 mol Hf ≈ 1/3 mol Hf ( you can do this in your head, or on paper)

178g Hf

37.4 g Cl x 1 mol Cl ≈ 1 mol Cl

35.5 g Cl

NOW, multiply each of these by the same number to get a whole number ration (instead of 1/3 : 1). If you multiply by 3 you get a ratio of 1:3, so the formula will be HfCl3).

29. IN the periodic table, as the atomic number increases from 11 to 17, what happens to the atomic radius?

(A) it remains constant

(B) It increases only.

(C) It increases, then decreases.

(D) It decreases only.

(E) It decreases, then increases.

30. In which of the following processes are covalent bonds broken?

(A) I2(s)  I2(g) (B) CO2(s) CO2(g)(C)NaCl(s)  NaCl(l)(D) C(diamond)  C(g) (E) Fe(s)Fe(l)

31. In a qualitative analysis for the presence of Pb2+ , Fe2+, and Cu2+ ions in aqueous solution, which of the following will allow the separation of Pb2+ from the other ions at room temperature?

(A) Adding dilute Na2S(aq) solution

(B) Adding dilute HCl(s) solution

(C) Adding dilute NaOH(aq) solution

(D) Adding dilute NH3 (aq) solution

(E) Adding dilute HNO3 (aq) solution

ANALYSIS: PbCl2 is insoluble, whereas FeCl2 & CuCl2 are soluble. Cl is the only ion that will allow only the lead compound to precipitate, while leaving the other 2 (FeCl2 & CuCl2) in solution.

32. After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of 38 percent. The correct value for the percentage of water in the hydrate is 51 percent. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this difference?

(A) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to spatter out of the crucible.

(B) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.

(C)The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.

(D) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.

(E) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.

ANALYSIS: (A) if you weighed the hydrate sample before heating (say 2.00g), and then heating caused part of the sample to be lost, your post-heating mass (say 1.50g) would be lower than the actual (say 1.70g.) When you calculated the % comp that is water, you would divide the difference between the pre-heating mass (2.00g) and the post heating mass (1.5)by the pre-heating mass (2.00-1.50g/2.00g) x 100= 25%. In fact, the % comp water (if none of the sample was lost)should be (2.00-1.70g/2.00g) x 100 = 15%. Therefore, THE ERROR IS ON THE HIGH END, THE OPPOSITE OF THE SITUATION INDICATED ABOVE.

(B) Use the 2.00g original mass from (A). Visualize: Heated to release the water in the hydrate. Samplere-absorbed some moisture. Obtained mass of post-heating sample & it was higher than it should have been, say 1.80g. Analyze % comp: (2.00-1.80g/2.00g) x 100 = 10%, which is lower than the actual (I used 15% as my “actual” in analysis of choice A, above.) IN THIS CASE, THE ERROR IS ON THE LOW END, AS THE QUESTION INDICATES.

33. The volume of distilled water that should be added to 10.0 mL of 6.00 M HCl(aq) in order to prepare a 0.500 M HCl (aq) solution is approximately

ANALYSIS: M1=0.600 mol/L V1=0.010L M2=0.500 mol/L

USE: M1V1=M2V2 to solve for V2.
