      Ionic bond

    • B.

      Octet energy level

    • C.

      Empirical formula

    • D.

      Octet rule

    Correct Answer
    D. Octet rule
    Explanation
    The octet rule states that main block elements tend to form bonds by rearranging electrons in order to achieve a stable octet (8 electrons) in their outermost energy level. This means that atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons with other atoms to reach a total of 8 electrons in their valence shell. This rule helps explain the formation of various types of chemical bonds, including ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another to achieve stability.

    The particle formed when an acid has donated a H+ ion

    • A.

      Base

    • B.

      Conjugate base

    • C.

      Acid

    • D.

      Conjugate acid

    Correct Answer
    D. Conjugate acid
    Explanation
    When an acid donates a hydrogen ion (H+), it forms a particle known as the conjugate acid. This is because the acid loses a hydrogen ion and becomes a conjugate base. The conjugate acid is formed by the acceptance of the donated hydrogen ion, resulting in the formation of a new particle with a positive charge. Therefore, the correct answer is conjugate acid.

      Conjugate acid

    • C.

      Equivalence point

    • D.

      Neutralization reaction

    Correct Answer
    D. Neutralization reaction
    Explanation
    A neutralization reaction is a type of reaction between an acid and a base in which the H+ ions from the acid and the OH- ions from the base combine to form water (H2O). This reaction also produces a salt as a byproduct. The process of determining the equivalence point in a neutralization reaction is called titration. In this process, a solution of known concentration (titrant) is added to a solution of unknown concentration (analyte) until the reaction reaches the equivalence point, where the acid and base have completely reacted. The conjugate acid is the species formed when a base accepts a proton (H+) from an acid.

    (equivalence point) a point in a titration indicated by the color change of an indicator

    • A.

      Endpoint

    • B.

      Midpoint

    • C.

      Equivalence

    • D.

      Titration point

    Correct Answer
    A. Endpoint
    Explanation
    The term "endpoint" refers to a point in a titration where the color change of an indicator signals the completion of the reaction between the analyte and the titrant. This is different from the equivalence point, which is the theoretical point in the reaction where the stoichiometrically equivalent amounts of analyte and titrant have reacted. The endpoint may not always coincide exactly with the equivalence point, but it is used as a practical indicator to determine the endpoint of the reaction.

    • B.

      Ionic bond

    • C.

      Covalent bond

    • D.

      Octet

    Correct Answer
    C. Covalent bond
    Explanation
    A covalent bond is formed when atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve stability. This type of bond is often formed between nonmetal atoms. By sharing electrons, the atoms are able to fill their outermost energy levels, resulting in a stable octet. Covalent bonds are characterized by the sharing of electrons rather than the transfer of electrons, which is seen in ionic bonds.

      Logarithmic scale

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    C. Logarithmic scale
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Logarithmic scale." The pH scale is a logarithmic scale that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Each unit on the scale represents a tenfold difference in acidity or alkalinity. For example, a solution with a pH of 3 is ten times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 4. This logarithmic scale allows for a more precise measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.

      0.0812 L atm/ 64.2 Ltorrmol k

    Correct Answer
    B. 0.0821 Latm/ 62.4 Ltorrmol k
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 0.0821 Latm/ 62.4 Ltorrmol k. This is because the ideal gas law equation, PV = nRT, relates the pressure (P) and volume (V) of a gas to the number of moles (n), the gas constant (R), and the temperature (T) in Kelvin. The units of the gas constant must be consistent with the units of pressure, volume, moles, and temperature in the equation. In this case, the units of the gas constant are Latm/ Ltorrmol k, which are the correct units for the given equation.

    • C.

      Strong base

    • D.

      Strong acid

    Correct Answer
    C. Strong base
    Explanation
    A strong base is a substance that completely dissociates in water, releasing hydroxide ions (OH-) into the solution. This means that all the molecules of a strong base break apart and produce hydroxide ions. Examples of strong bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). In contrast, a weak base only partially dissociates in water, meaning that only a fraction of its molecules release hydroxide ions. Therefore, the given correct answer is strong base.

      Stoichiometry

    • B.

      Law of Conservation of Mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Stoichiometry
    Explanation
    Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the mass and quantity relationships among reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It allows us to determine the amount of each substance involved in a reaction based on the balanced chemical equation. The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, and stoichiometry helps us calculate the exact amounts of reactants and products to ensure that this law is upheld. Therefore, stoichiometry is the correct answer in this context.

    The reactant that is not completely used up in a chemical reaction

    • A.

      Excess reactant

    • B.

      Limited reacants

    • C.

      Complete reacants

    Correct Answer
    A. Excess reactant
    Explanation
    In a chemical reaction, the excess reactant refers to the reactant that is present in a greater amount than required for the reaction to occur completely. This means that even after the reaction is complete, there will still be some amount of the excess reactant remaining. On the other hand, limited reactants are the reactants that are consumed completely during the reaction, meaning that there is no excess left. Complete reactants is not a term used in chemistry and does not have any specific meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is excess reactant.

    A reactant that is used up first and this limits the amount of other reactants that can participate in a chemical reaction to make products

    • A.

      Limiting reactants

    • B.

      Excessive reacant

    • C.

      Limit product reacant

    Correct Answer
    A. Limiting reactants
    Explanation
    A limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thereby limiting the amount of other reactants that can participate in the reaction. This ultimately determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed. In other words, the limiting reactant sets the upper bound for the amount of product that can be obtained in a reaction.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    Maximum # of grams of products that can be obtained based on the amount of limiting reactant given to the balanced chemical equation

    • A.

      Theoretical yield

    • B.

      Actual yield

    • C.

      Limiting yield

    Correct Answer
    A. Theoretical yield
    Explanation
    Theoretical yield refers to the maximum amount of product that can be obtained based on the amount of limiting reactant given in a balanced chemical equation. It is calculated by using stoichiometry and assuming that the reaction goes to completion without any side reactions or losses. The actual yield, on the other hand, is the amount of product actually obtained in a laboratory or real-life scenario. The limiting yield is not a commonly used term in chemistry and does not accurately describe the concept of maximum product yield based on the limiting reactant.

  • 41. 

    The amount of products we actually collect in the chemical reaction experimentally, it cannot be calculated. Always less than theoretical yield.

    • A.

      Limit yield

    • B.

      Actual yield

    • C.

      Theo yield

    Correct Answer
    B. Actual yield
    Explanation
    The actual yield refers to the amount of product that is obtained in a chemical reaction experimentally. It is the quantity that is actually collected and measured in the laboratory. The actual yield is often less than the theoretical yield, which is the maximum amount of product that could be obtained under ideal conditions. This difference between actual and theoretical yield is due to various factors such as incomplete reactions, side reactions, and losses during purification or transfer of the product. Therefore, the actual yield is always expected to be less than the theoretical yield.

  • 42. 

    The least abundant reactant is usually ______ expensive, is the limiting reactant

    • A.

      Less

    • B.

      More

    • C.

      Fewer

    • D.

      Many more

    Correct Answer
    B. More
    Explanation
    The least abundant reactant is usually more expensive because it is present in smaller quantities compared to the other reactants. This limited availability makes it more costly to obtain or produce, resulting in a higher price. As a result, the least abundant reactant becomes the limiting reactant, as its scarcity restricts the amount of product that can be formed in a chemical reaction.

      Cheaper, less

    • B.

      More

    • C.

      Many

    • D.

      Cheaper

    Correct Answer
    A. Cheaper, less
    Explanation
    The most abundant reactant is usually the one that is cheaper and present in a smaller quantity compared to the other reactants. This means that it is the excess reactant, as there is more of it available than is needed for the reaction to occur.

    Percentage yield is a way to describe reaction _________.

    • A.

      Efficiency

    • B.

      Many

    • C.

      Actual yield

    • D.

      Complete

    Correct Answer
    A. Efficiency
    Explanation
    Percentage yield is a way to describe the efficiency of a reaction. It represents the proportion of the theoretical yield that is actually obtained in the reaction. A high percentage yield indicates a high efficiency, meaning that a large amount of the desired product was obtained. On the other hand, a low percentage yield suggests a low efficiency, indicating that only a small amount of the desired product was obtained. Therefore, the correct answer is Efficiency.

    Can the theoretical yield be obtained in an experiment?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    The theoretical yield refers to the maximum amount of product that can be obtained in a chemical reaction based on stoichiometry calculations. In practice, it is often difficult to achieve the theoretical yield due to factors such as incomplete reactions, side reactions, loss of product during purification, and experimental limitations. Therefore, it is unlikely to obtain the theoretical yield in an experiment.

      More than

    • B.

      Less than

    • C.

      Fewer than

    • D.

      Many

    Correct Answer
    B. Less than
    Explanation
    The actual yield of a chemical reaction is "less than" the theoretical yield because there are various factors that can cause a reaction to not proceed to completion. These factors include side reactions, incomplete conversions, and losses during purification or separation processes. Therefore, the actual amount of product obtained is typically lower than the amount predicted by stoichiometry calculations.

      Can gases be compressed, expand to fill a container and have very low densities?

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Gases can be compressed because their particles are far apart and have a lot of empty space between them. This allows the gas to be compressed into a smaller volume. Gases also have the ability to expand to fill a container because their particles are constantly moving and can spread out to occupy the available space. Lastly, gases have very low densities because their particles are spread out and have a low mass compared to the volume they occupy. Therefore, the statement is true.
