STEM-Dawgs Workshops – Practice Exam 3 KEY CHEM 142A

These questions are from the online practice exam.

1. Determine the number of electrons transferred in the reaction below by balancing it in acidic medium.
Br- (aq) + MnO4- (aq) → Br2 (l) + Mn2+ (aq)
Find and balance the half reactions: 2Br-(aq) → Br2 (l) MnO4- (aq) → Mn2+(aq)
Add waters balance O: 2Br (aq) → Br2 (l)
- MnO4- (aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O (l)
+
Add H to balance H: 2Br (aq) → Br2 (l)
- 8H (aq) + MnO4- (aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O (l)
+

Add e- to both sides to balance the charges: 2Br (aq) → Br2 (l) + 2e
- - 5e- + 8H+(aq) + MnO4- (aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O (l)
Multiply the half reactions by a multiplier to get the same number of electrons.
5 x [2Br-(aq) → Br2 (l) + 2e-] 2 x [5e- + 8H+(aq) + MnO4- (aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O (l)]
10e- are transferred between the two half-reactions.

2. According to the concentration in time figure to the


right, what is the balanced chemical equation for this
reaction?

H2 + I2 → 2 HI

3. In a laboratory experiment, several different concentrations of NOBr were decomposed and the rates of
those processes are listed below. Determine the order of the reaction:
2 NOBr (g) → 2 NO (g) + Br2 (g)

[NOBr](mol/L) Rate (mol/L*s) 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒1 𝑘[𝑁𝑂𝐵𝑟]1𝑚


=
0.0450 1.62 x 10-3 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒2 𝑘[𝑁𝑂𝐵𝑟]𝑚 2
1.62 × 10−3 0.0450 𝑚
0.0310 7.69 x 10-4 =( )
7.22 × 10−5 0.0095
0.0095 7.22 x 10-5 3.1107 = 1.555𝑚
ln 3.1107 = 𝑚 ln 1.555
𝑚 = 1.999 ≈ 2, 2nd order

4. The hydrogen sulfate or bisulfate ion, HSO4- can act as either an acid or a base in water solution. Write
the balanced chemical equation describing HSO4- acting as an acid in water.

Acids donate H+ in water: HSO4- + H2O → SO42- + H3O+

5. 525 mL of a 0.300 M solution of sodium carbonate is mixed with 225 mL of a 0.125 M solution of
calcium nitrate. Write the balanced chemical reaction equation describing the reaction when these
solutions are mixed together.

Ca(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → CaCO3 (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq)

6. Using your balanced reaction and the data provided in 5., calculate the mass of precipitate that forms
when the solutions are mixed together.

Find the starting moles of both species:


Na2CO3 : 0.525 𝐿 × 0.300 𝑀 = 0.158 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 and Ca(NO3)2 : 0.225 𝐿 × 0.125 𝑀 = 0.0281 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠
The net ionic reaction tells us that there is a 1:1 ratio of Ca2+ to CO32-, therefore, we can just compare
the starting moles to figure out the limiting reactant. Ca2+ will be used up first and makes 0.0281 moles
of CaCO3. Now find the mass of precipitate:
100.08 𝑔
0.0281𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠 × = 𝟐. 𝟖𝟏 𝒈
𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒

7. Using your balanced equation and the data provided in 5., calculate the final concentration of
carbonate in the solution after the reaction.

We know that 0.0281 moles of CO32- reacted. Find the remaining: 0.158 moles – 0.0281 moles = 0.130
moles remain. Divide this by the total volume, which is 0.525 L + 0.225 L = 0.750 L
0.130 𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑒𝑠
[𝐶𝑂32− ] = = 0.173 𝑀
0.750 𝐿

8. A student pipettes 5.00 mL of a 0.225 M NaCl solution into a 100.0 mL volumetric flask. What is the
concentration of the diluted NaCl solution?

Convert mL to L: 5.00 mL = 5.00 x 10-3 L, 100.0 mL = 100.0 x 10-3 L


Calculate moles of NaCl: 5.00 x 10-3 L(0.225 mol/L) = 1.13 x 10-3 mol NaCl
Calculate new concentration: 1.13 x 10-3 mol NaCl/100.0 x 10-3 L = 1.13 x 10-2 M

9. A sample of an unknown compound is vaporized at 100oC. The gas produced has a volume of 1655 mL at
a pressure of 1.00 atm with a mass of 2.49 grams. Assuming the gas behaves as an ideal gas under these
conditions, which of the following substances might be the identity of the gas?
a) C2H6O
Use the ideal law: (convert temp to K and vol to L)
b) C2H4O2
PV = nRT -> (1.00 atm)(1.655 L) = n(0.08206 L*atm/K*mol)(373 K)
c) CH2O
Solve for n: 0.0541 mol
d) C3H6O2
Use given mass and n to solve for molar mass (MM):
0.0541 mol(MM) = 2.49 g -> MM = 46.05 g/mol
The molar mass of C2H6O is ~46 g/mol. The answer is therefore a).

10. The rate law for a reaction, AB → A + B is zero order with a rate constant of 0.340 M.s-1. What is the half-
life when the initial concentration of AB is 0.762 M?

Using table 15.6 in the textbook, t1/2 = [A]0/2k for zero order reactions.

t1/2 = [0.762 M]/(2*0.340 M.s-1) = 1.12 s

11. When 150.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of KCl is mixed with 100.0 mL of a 0.100 M Pb(NO3)2 solution,
which ion will have a concentration of approximately zero after precipitation has occurred?

Write the net ionic equation: 2Cl-(aq) + Pb2+(aq) -> PbCl2(s)


Calculate the starting amounts of each reactant:
0.1500 L(0.100 M KCl) = 1.50 x 10-2 mol Cl-
0.1000 L(0.100 M Pb(NO3)2) = 1.00 x 10-2 mol Pb2+
Find the limiting reactant by calculating amount of product produced from each reactant:
1.50 x 10-2 mol Cl-(1 mol PbCl2/2 mol Cl-) = 7.50 x 10-3 mol PbCl2
1.00 x 10-2 mol Pb2+(1 mol PbCl2/1 mol Pb2+) = 1.00 x 10-2 mol PbCl2
Cl- is the limiting reactant, leaving its concentration to be approximately zero after precipitation.

12. For a particular reactant it takes 100 seconds to decrease the concentration of the reactant from 0.320
M to 0.160 M and another 200 seconds to decrease the concentration to 0.080 M. What is the order of
the reaction?
The concentration decreases by half (0.320 M to 0.160 M) in the first 100 seconds. This is the
length of the first half-life. The second half-life is 200 seconds (0.160 M to 0.080 M).
First order reactions have a constant half-life, so this reaction cannot be first order.
The half-life for a second order reaction is inversely proportional to concentration, meaning
the half-life gets longer the lower the concentration. Therefore, the reaction is second order.
