[N 2 ] =
0 .452 mol 10 L

010 10.0 points
What happens to the concentration of NO(g) when the total pressure on the equilib- rium reaction 3 NO 2 (g) + H 2 O(ℓ) ⇀↽ 2 HNO 3 (aq) + NO(g) is increased (by compression)?
Explanation: Increasing the total pressure on the sys- tem by decreasing its volume will shift the equilibrium toward the side of the reaction with fewer numbers of moles of gaseous com- ponents. If the total number of moles of gas is the same on the product and reactant sides of the balanced chemical equation, then changing the pressure will have little or no ef- fect on the equilibrium distribution of species present. The amount and concentration of NO will increase.
011 10.0 points Consider the reaction
2 SO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) ⇀↽ 2 SO 3 (g)
where ∆Hrxn = −198 kJ. The amount of SO 2 (g) at equilibrium increases when
Explanation:
2 SO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) ⇀↽ 2 SO 2 (g) + heat According to Le Chatelier’s principle, the amount of reactant SO 2 (g) is increased when the equilibrium shifts to the left. This will happen when another reactant (O 2 ) is re- moved. For an exothermic reaction decreasing temperature removes heat and sends equilib- rium to the right. Increasing pressure sends the equilibrium in the direction that has fewer numbers of moles of gas. Increasing the vol- ume is equivalent to decreasing gas pressure.
012 10.0 points For an exothermic reaction, what would hap- pen to the numerical value of Kc, if we in- crease the temperature at constant pressure?
Explanation: An exothermic reaction gives off heat as products are formed, so at a higher tem- perature the reverse endothermic reaction is favoured, decreasing Kc, which reflects the ratio of the products to reactants.
013 10.0 points Suppose the reaction mixture
N 2 (g) + 3 H 2 (g) ⇀↽ 2 NH 3 (g)
is at equilibrium at a given temperature and pressure. The pressure is then increased at constant temperature by compressing the re- action mixture, and the mixture is then al- lowed to reestablish equilibrium. At the new equilibrium,
Explanation: LeChatelier’s Principle states that if a change occurs in a system at equilibruim, the system responds to relieve the stress and reach a new equilibrium. Here, the number of moles of gaseous reactants is greater than the number of moles of products. Increasing the pressure of the above system will result in the reaction proceeding to reduce that pressure increase. The system will shift to the right (the side that has fewer moles of gas), so the pressure will be reduced; thus more ammonia will be produced.
014 10.0 points Consider the system
2 N 2 O 5 (g) ⇀↽ 2 N 2 O 4 (g) + O 2 (g) + heat
at equilibrium at 25◦C. If the temperature were raised would the equilibrium be shifted to produce more N 2 O 5 or more N 2 O 4?
Explanation: This is an exothermic reaction and so in- creasing temperature provides more heat to
Explanation: ∆G◦^ is negative (point E is lower free en- ergy than point A), K > 1. At point B, the reaction will move to the products (Q < K). At point E, the reaction will move to the re- actants (Q > K). At point C, the reaction is at equilibrium (Q = K).

rxn progress
At point B on this figure, what is the relation- ship of Q to K?
Explanation: Point B is on the reactants-heavy side of equilibrium, so Q is less than K. Note also that dG (slope) is negative here which means the reaction would be spontaneous in the for- ward direction. Spontaneous in a forward direction corresponds to Q being less than K.

022 10.0 points A strong acid (or base) is one which
Explanation: By definition, a strong acid is completely dissociated in solution.
023 10.0 points HCN is classified as a weak acid in water. This means that it produces
Explanation: In water only a small percentage of a weak acid hydrolyzes, producing H 3 O +^ ions.

025 10.0 points Which of the following substances is NOT a weak acid?
026 10.0 points Which of the following substances is a weak acid?
027 10.0 points
Explanation: According to the Bronsted-Lowry defini- tion of bases, a base must be a proton accep- tor. It does not need to contain a hydroxide group.
032 10.0 points Which statement is true for the following re- action?
CCl 3 COOH + H 2 O ↔ CCl 3 CO− 2 + H 3 O+
Explanation:
033 10.0 points According to Bronsted-Lowry Theory an acid is
Explanation: The Bronsted-Lowry theory of acids and bases defines an acid as a substance which is able to donate a proton.
034 10.0 points Which is NOT a conjugate base-acid pair?
Explanation: In the Bronsted-Lowry sense, a base is a proton acceptor and an acid is a proton donor. HSO− 4 is a proton donor and an acid. There- fore this is a conjugate acid-base pair, not a conjugate base-acid pair.
035 10.0 points The conjugate base of H 2 SO 4 is:
Explanation: Remove one H+^ ion from a species to find its conjugate base.
036 10.0 points A given weak acid HZ has a Ka = 4 × 10 −^6. What is the H 3 O+^ concentration of a solution of HZ that has a concentration of 0.5 mol/L?
Correct answer: 0.00141 mol/L.
Explanation:
Ka = 4 × 10 −^6 [H 3 O+] =? The expression for Ka here is
Ka =
Substituting in values for the concentrations and Ka, we have
(x) (x) (0. 5 − x)
As HZ has a small Ka, we can assume that x is very small compared to 0.5, so we can simplify this equation to
(x)^2 (0.5) 2 × 10 −^6 = x^2 x = 0. 00141
Remembering that we called [H+] x in the equation, [H+] is 0.00141 mol/L.
