Explanation:

A sample of gas at 0.500 atm is transferred from a 20.0 L tank to a 12.0 L tank. What is the new pressure of the gas?

Boyle's law

PiVi = PfVf

P initial = 0.5 atm

V initial = 20 L

P final = ?

V final = 12 L

0.5 * 20 = Pf * 12

 

10 = Pf * 12

 

Pf = 10 / 12

 

Pf = 0.833 atm

 

 

 

 

 

A gas occupies 4.00 L at 2.00 atm pressure. At what pressure would the volume be 6.00 L if the temperature remains constant?

PiVi = PfVf

Pi = 2 atm

Vi = 4 L

Pf = ?

Vf = 6 L

 

 

2 * 4 = Pf * 6

Question:

Which of the following compounds are soluble in water"

  1. C2H5OH
  2. C25H52
  3. NaCl
  4. C5H12

Answer

  • C2H5OH

Explanation:

Ethanol is soluble in water. Ethanol has a polar -OH group which hydrogen bonds to water making ethanol soluble. water is polar and will only dissolve polar compounds. All the other compounds in the options above are polar and none can form hydrogen bond with water. Carbon chains for instance, are non polar and would repel water molecules.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Question:

How many moles of carbon monoxide are produced when 40.0g of oxygen react completely?

  1. A) 0.625 mol

B)1.25 Mol

C)2.50 mol

D)80.0 mol

Answer

  • C)2.50 mol

Explanation:

Reaction for formation of carbon monoxide

 

2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g)

 

According to the equation, one mole of oxygen forms 2 moles of carbon monoxide

 

40 grams of oxygen reacts completely

 

Moles of oxygen = mass / molar mass

 

40 grams / 32 g/mol = 1.25 moles

 

If 1 mole of oxygen forms 2 moles of CO

 

1.25 moles of oxygen forms ?

 

1.25 moles * 2 / 1 = 2.5 moles of carbon monoxide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question:

balanced equation for the reaction between propene (C3H6) and oxygen gas.

Answer

  • The balanced reaction between propene and oxygen gas is as follows

 

2C3H6 (g) + 9O2 (g) ---> 3CO2(g) + 3 H2O (g)

Explanation:

Combustion of alkenes in oxygen forms carbon dioxide and water.

 

2C3H6 (g) + 9O2 (g) ---> 3CO2(g) + 3 H2O (g)

 

Balancing the equation requires counting the number of atoms of each element on both sides and determine what coefficient to add before each compound

 

In the above reaction, the coefficients that would balance the equation are 2, 9, 3, and 3 respectively.

The first management principles were

developed by

B.

Henri Fayol

Explanation:

Principles of management is the means of getting things done through others. Fundamental notion of principles of management was developed by French management theorist Henri Fayol (1841-1925). He is credited for the original planning-organizing-leading-controlling framework which is still the dominant framework in the world today.

Scientific management theory was developed by Frederick W. Taylor (1856-1915). This theory seeks to improve an organization's efficiency by enhancing task completion through scientific, engineering, and mathematical analysis.

Answer

  • Mass of helium = 44 grams

Explanation:

Use the ideal gas law to calculate the mass of helium in 5.22 L of the gas at 0.918 ATM and 25°C.

 

Ideal gas law

 

PV = nRT

 

P = 0.918 atm

V = 5.22 L

n = moles

R = 0.0821 liter·atm/mol·K

T = 25°C. + 273 = 298 K

 

 

(0.918 * 5.22) = n * (0.0821 * 298)

 

n = (0.0821 * 298) / (0.918 * 5.22)

 

n = 24.466 / 4.792

 

n = 5.11 moles

 

 

Moles = mass / molar mass

 

5.11 = mass / 4 g/mol

 

Mass = 4 * 5.11 = 20.44 grams

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question:

What receptor does Clonidine act on?

 

Alpha 1

 

Alpha 2

 

Beta 2

 

Beta 1

 Answers

  • Alpha 2

Explanation:

Clonidine acts on alpha 2 receptors on the brain stem. These receptors works by reducing peripheral resistance which in turn decreases resistance of flow of blood in the arteries. When resistance to blood flow in the arteries decreases, blood pressure decreases as a result.

 

 

 

Question:

Which of the following compounds would be most water soluble?

Group of answer choices

 

 

CH3-CH2-CH3

 

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH

 

CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH3

 

CH3-CH2-CH2-OH

Answer

  • CH3-CH2-CH2-OH

Explanation:

  • As a rule, polar dissolves polar and nonpolar dissolves nonpolar
  • CH3-CH2-CH3 is alkane and completely nonpolar, hence insoluble in water
  • CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH3 is alkene which is also non-polar hence insoluble in water
  • Water is polar, hence it attracts OH group and carbon chain is nonpolar hence repelled. Small alcohols are completely soluble in water but as the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases, solubility decreases. Based on this, CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH will be less soluble than CH3-CH2-CH2-OH.

 

 

 

 

Question:

All the following classes of compounds contain oxygen except:

Group of answer choices

 

 

alcohols

 

ethers

 

alkynes

 

phenols

 

aldehydes

Answer

  • alkynes

Explanation:

Alkynes are organic molecules which are made up of carbon-carbon triple bonds with formula CnH2n−2. Alkyne is a type of hydrocarbon which means the molecule is made up of only carbon and hydrogen. The other molecules contain oxygen in their structure as shown below:

  • Alcohols =  CnH2n+1OH.
  • Ethers = R-O-R
  • phenols = C6H5OH
  • Aldehydes = RCHO

 

 

 

 

Question:

If 5.0 grams of KCl is dissolved in 200 mL of water, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?

Group of answer choices

0.04% (m/v)

 

2.5% (m/v)

 

1.0% (m/v)

 

0.025% (m/v)

 

10% (m/v)

Answer

  • 5% (m/v)

Explanation:

If 5.0 grams of KCl is dissolved in 200 mL of water, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?

 

To calculate w/v % concentration:

w/v (%) =  mass of solute (g) / volume of solution (mL) × 100

 

Mass of the solute = 5.0 grams

Volume of the solution = 200 mL

 

Concentration = 5.0 grams / 200 mL * 100 = 2.5%

 

Weight/Volume concentration = 2.5% (m/v)

 

 

 

 

 

Question:

Lipoproteins function to:

Group of answer choices

 

 

dissolve polar lipids for excretion

 

metabolize lipids into new substances

 

dissolve polar lipids in urine

 

transport nonpolar lipids to body cells

Answer

  • transport nonpolar lipids to body cells

Explanation:

Lipoproteins are biochemical assemblies whose primary purpose is to transport hydrophobic or non-polar lipid molecules in water. To form lipoprotein, nonpolar lipids combines with apolipoproteins. Examples of lipoproteins include HDL, LDL, IDL, VLDL and chylomicrons.

Fats are generally insoluble in water, so it is hard to transport them on their own in extracellular water like plasma. Therefore, to enable easier solubility in plasma, lipid are surrounded with polar or hydrophilic shell to act as transport vehicles.

Question:

In what condition would an increased level of serum albumin be expected

 

malnutrition

 

acute inflammation

 

dehydration

 

renal disease

Answer

  • dehydration

Explanation:

Albumin levels rise when a person is dehydrated. Albumin is the most predominant protein in the serum and is produced in the liver and secreted directly to the circulation. When there is less water in the body, the plasma decrease in quantity and hence becomes more concentrated with plasma proteins like albumin which forms the major part of plasma.

 

 

 

Question:

Which of the following corresponds to the lowest point in an energy diagram for an endothermic chemical reaction?

a products

b transition state

c reaction enthalpy

d reactants

e more info is needed

Answer

  • d reactants

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction is one which uses energy to form products. In the diagram, the reactants are at a lower energy level compared to the products. Endothermic reactions are non-spontaneous because the reaction produces products which are higher in energy than the reactants which is why the change in enthalpy is positive.

 

 

 

Question:

As part of an experiment, you need to make 150 mL of a 0.750 M ammonium hydroxide solution from an existing stock solution with a concentration of 9.25 M. What volume of concentrated ammonium hydroxide is required?

Answer

  • Volume of concentrated ammonium hydroxide required = 16 mL

Explanation:

9.25 M stock solution

150 mL of a 0.750 M ammonium hydroxide solution

 

Formula

 

M1V1 = M2V2

 

M1 = Molarity of stock solution

V1 = Volume of concentrated stock solution needed

 

M2 = 0.750 M ammonium hydroxide solution

V2 = 150 mL ammonium hydroxide solution

 

 

9.25 M * V1 = 0.750 M * 150 mL

 

V1 = ( 0.750 M * 150 mL ) / 9.25 M = 12.16 mL

 

Volume of the stock solution (concentrated ammoinum hydroxide) needed = 12.16 ml

 

 

 

 

Question:

What happens to the volume of a gas in a closed container if the temperature increases, but the pressure remains the same? Explain.

Answer

  • When temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases.

This follows Charles law which states that when pressure of a gas is held constant, volume is directly proportional to the temperature. The explanation is that at high temperature, the molecules hit the walls of the container with more force and if the container can increase in volume, then gas volume will increase as well.

Explanation:

This is in accordance to Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature when pressure is held constant. This means that in a closed container with gas, as temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases as well and when temperature decreases the volume of the gas would decrease.

 

 

 

Question:

Which of the following statements about subatomic particles is correct? [F20]
Group of answer choices
neutrons have a charge of 0 and a mass of approximately 0 amu
electrons have a charge of -1 and a mass of approximately 1 amu
an atom always contains at least as many protons as neutrons
an atom always contains at least as many neutrons as protons
the electron is the subatomic particle that participates in chemical reactions
Answer

  • the electron is the subatomic particle that participates in chemical reactions
    Explanation:
    At the central part of the atom, neutrons and protons cluster together while electrons orbit the nucleus. What determines the chemical properties of atoms is the electrons which are negatively charged. Electrons can be shared between atoms, to fill the empty shell on the outermost energy shells of atoms participating in a chemical reaction. An atom becomes a negative ion by losing a negative electron, and a positive ion when it gains a negative electron.
