What Are the Correct Answers to These Basic Chemistry Practice Questions?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around basic chemistry practice questions, focusing on topics such as molarity, chemical reactions, and naming compounds. Participants express uncertainty about their answers and seek clarification on various concepts related to the questions posed.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Problem interpretation, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants attempt to solve problems related to molarity and chemical reactions, questioning their understanding of concepts like normality and the naming of compounds. Some express confusion about how to approach certain questions, while others share their reasoning and calculations.

Discussion Status

Several participants have provided their answers and reasoning for the practice questions, with some expressing doubt about their correctness. There is a mix of interpretations regarding the questions, and while some guidance has been offered, particularly on the use of normality in calculations, no explicit consensus has been reached.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention the context of an upcoming test and the absence of provided answers for the practice questions, which contributes to their uncertainty. There are references to specific chemistry concepts that are under discussion, such as the relationship between molarity and normality.

I'm really no good at Chemistry, and these are practice questions to our test tomorrow (with no answers, which is pretty worthless )

5. A 10mL solution of 1.0M NaOH is required to react completely with how many mL of a 0.25M solution of H2SO4?
a) 20mL
b) 40mL
c) 160mL
d) 4mL
e) 10mL

I think D, though I'm probably wrong.

10. A mixture of 2.00g of NaCl and enough water (H2O) to result in 100 mL of solution will have what molarity?
a) 2.00M
b) 0.034M
c) 0.058M
d) 0.34M
e) 0.58M

I don't even know where to start with this one :(

11. In which of the following name-formula pairs do both items correctly name the same compound?

a) SeCl6 - Selenium hexachloride
b) Br2O5 - Dibromide pentoxide
c) F2O7 - Fluorine septoxide
d) Ba(OH)2 - Barium dihydrate
e) P4S10 - Quatraphosphoric decasulfide

I have it narrowed down between A and B, they both seem to work, though I am leaning towards A?

20. In which of the following aqueous mixtures will no chemical reaction occur?
a) Hg(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2(SO4) (aq) ->
b) Na3(PO4) (aq) + Sr(NO3)2 (aq) ->
c) Na2CO3 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) ->
d) (NH4)2S (aq) + CaI2 (aq) ->
e) ZnSO4 (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) ->

No idea, think it's E though?

21. In the following reaction: 2HBr (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) -> BaBr2(?) + 2H2O(?)
a) Ba(OH)2 is a weak base
b) H2O is a spectator ion in this reaction
c) HBr is a strong acid and Ba(OH)2 is a strong base
d) HBr is a weak acid
e) BaBr2 is insoluble and precpitates

Think it's C

That's all for the moment, thanks :/

what am I, a leper or something? :D
 
Just make a formula that will cancel all the units and it will work out fine. ALWAYS WRITE THE UNITS when you are doing anything in chemistry.

I got 40mL, which is B

I got 0.348M which is close to D

11. In which of the following name-formula pairs do both items correctly name the same compound?

a) SeCl6 - Selenium hexachloride
b) Br2O5 - Dibromide pentoxide
c) F2O7 - Fluorine septoxide

e) P4S10 - Quatraphosphoric decasulfide

The answer is A (or at least I think it is).

20. In which of the following aqueous mixtures will no chemical reaction occur?
a) Hg(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2(SO4) (aq) ->
b) Na3(PO4) (aq) + Sr(NO3)2 (aq) ->
c) Na2CO3 (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) ->
d) (NH4)2S (aq) + CaI2 (aq) ->
e) ZnSO4 (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) ->

No idea, think it's E though?

This question I don't know. My redox table doesn't list most of those (like SO4, NO3, Sr, CO3).

21. In the following reaction: 2HBr (aq) + Ba(OH)2 (aq) -> BaBr2(?) + 2H2O(?)
a) Ba(OH)2 is a weak base
b) H2O is a spectator ion in this reaction
c) HBr is a strong acid and Ba(OH)2 is a strong base
d) HBr is a weak acid
e) BaBr2 is insoluble and precpitates

Think it's C

I too think it's C.

and yes, you are a leper
 
I got 40mL, which is B

Nope u are using molarity equation instead of normality
it should be

N1V1=N2V2
So u have 10*1=2*0,25*V2

V2= 10/0,5=20mL

Oh yeah, 2 to 1 ratio. Sorry about that. Subscripts DO make it easier to read :D

Do you know what the answer to that reaction one is?
