,3.011x10^24 H atoms - CORRECT ANSWER: How many hydrogen atoms are there in
one mole of CH2Cl2?
46 core and 7 valence - CORRECT ANSWER: How many core and valence electrons
does one atom of Iodine (I) have?
a. 36 core and 17 valence
b. 7 core and 36 valence
c. 36 core and 7 valence

5 - CORRECT ANSWER: Ammonia reacts with oxygen to produce nitric oxide in water.
Balance the equation using small, whole number coefficients:
______ NH3 + ______ O2 --> ______ NO + ______ H2O
What is the coefficient for oxygen (O2)?
84% - CORRECT ANSWER: Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce water according
to the following equation:
2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
You start a reaction with 53 grams of H2 and excess O2 and you end up producing 400
grams of H2O. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
All atoms are indivisible and indestructable - CORRECT ANSWER: Thomson's cathode
ray tube experiment proved FALSE what part of Dalton's atomic theory?
a. All atoms are indivisible and indestructible
b. All atoms of a given element are identical
c. All matter is made of atoms.
d. Compounds are formed from the combination of two or more elements.
, e. Chemical reactions are rearranging of atoms
All of the above - CORRECT ANSWER: Which of the following contain(s) atoms?
a. Heat
b. Light
c. Energy
d. Dust
e. All of the above
Atoms are mostly empty space
Atoms are in constant motion - CORRECT ANSWER: Which of the following properties
ascribed to atoms by the Greeks do we still consider valid?
I. Atoms are mostly empty space
II. The size and shape of the atoms determine a material's properties
III. Atoms are indivisible
IV. Atoms are in constant motion
Because the repulsive force between the overlapping electron clouds is dominant -
CORRECT ANSWER: Why does the potential energy increase as two xenon atoms
move extremely close together?
a. Because the kinetic energy decreases as the atoms slow down.
b. Because the electrostatic attractive force from the instantaneous dipoles is dominant.
c. Because the repulsive force between the overlapping electron clouds is dominant.
d. Because there is more potential energy than kinetic energy when the atoms are close
together.
Cl- is larger because fewer protons are attracting the same number of electrons as in
K+ - CORRECT ANSWER: Consider K+ and Cl-. Which do you predict is larger and
why?
