10questions. Pick an answer and you'll see why right away.

  1. A cell is built from Zn2+/Zn\text{Zn}^{2+}/\text{Zn} (E=0.76 VE^\circ = -0.76\ \text{V}) and Ag+/Ag\text{Ag}^+/\text{Ag} (E=+0.80 VE^\circ = +0.80\ \text{V}). What is the standard EMF?

  2. Using Fe3+/Fe2+\text{Fe}^{3+}/\text{Fe}^{2+} (+0.77 V+0.77\ \text{V}) and I2/I\text{I}_2/\text{I}^- (+0.54 V+0.54\ \text{V}), what happens when the species are mixed?

  3. Doubling [A][\text{A}] doubles the rate; doubling [B][\text{B}] quadruples the rate. What is the rate equation?

  4. A reactant does not appear in the experimentally determined rate equation. What is its order, and what does this suggest?

  5. Which factor makes the lattice enthalpy of an ionic solid more exothermic?

  6. For CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g)\text{CaCO}_3(\text{s}) \rightarrow \text{CaO}(\text{s}) + \text{CO}_2(\text{g}) with ΔH=+178 kJ mol1\Delta H = +178\ \text{kJ mol}^{-1} and ΔS=+161 J K1mol1\Delta S = +161\ \text{J K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}, above roughly what temperature is the reaction feasible?

  7. What does a negative value of ΔG\Delta G tell you about a reaction?

  8. Which change alters the value of the equilibrium constant KpK_p for a gaseous reaction?

  9. Ethanoic acid has Ka=1.8×105 mol dm3K_a = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}. What is the pH of a 0.100 mol dm30.100\ \text{mol dm}^{-3} solution?

  10. How does a buffer made from ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate resist a fall in pH when a small amount of acid is added?
