3. A reaction that happens spontaneously without an enthalpy change a)is impossible b)becomes more ordered c)becomes more disordered d)releases heat c

4. Which of the following represents the pH of a solution? a)log[H 3 O + ] b)- log[H 3 O + ] c)log[OH - ] d)-log[OH - ] b

5. The pressure of a sample of gas increases from 450. mmHg to 500. mmHg. If the volume is constant, and the temperature of the gas was 0.0 ºC, what is the new gas temperature (in ºC)? 30. ºC

6. What is the effect of adding more water to the following equilibrium reaction? CO 2 + H 2 O  H 2 CO 3 More H 2 CO 3 is produced. CO 2 concentration increases. The equilibrium is pushed in the direction of reactants. There is no effect. More H 2 CO 3 is produced.

7. Compared to gases before diffusion, gases after diffusion have a)more entropy b)less entropy c)more enthalpy d)none of these is correct a (mixing of anything increases disorder)

14. Why is a gas easier to compress than a liquid or a solid? a.Its volume increases more under pressure than an equal volume of liquid does. b.Its volume increases more under pressure than an equal volume of solid does. c.The space between gas particles is much less than the space between liquid or solid particles. d.The volume of a gas’s particles is small compared to the overall volume of the gas. Ans: D
