Study Guide for Honors Chemistry I Final

Directions: Answer each completely. Ask your teacher if this should be turned in for credit. There is a reference sheet on the last page to use for this study guide.

  1. What is the relationship between the position of two elements on the PT and their electronegativity difference? The greater the distance between the two elements, the greater the electronegativity difference.
  2. True or False: All molecule with polar bonds are polar molecules. Explain. False. Carbon dioxide is an example. The outside molecules are equal but in opposite positions. Each bond is polar but since they are in opposing directions, the polarity cancels out, thus making the molecule nonpolar.
  3. What do you need to consider when determining if a molecule is polar? (2 or 3 aspects) What type of bonds are present (polar or nonpolar), if the central atom has unbonded electrons, or if the outside atoms are the same or different.
  4. Which bond will be the least polar? The most polar? H-C, N-F, H-F, O-F Least: C-H, most, H-F; remember, H has an electronegativity value of 2.1 so it is close to the value of carbon.
  5. LIST the steps for drawing correct Lewis Structures? List valence electrons, create a single bond from the central atom to each outside atom, place electrons around all outer atoms to make 8 valence electrons, if necessary – add electrons around the central atom to make 8 valence electrons, make double bonds only if 8 electrons cannot be produced for atoms in the structure, expand the octet for the central atoms if there are extra electrons.
  6. Draw the Lewis Structure for each of the following molecules, name the shape of the molecule/VSEPR geometry as linear, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, tetrahedral, bent, trigonal bipyramidal, or octahedral, determine if the molecule is polar (asymmetrical, has a permanent dipole) or is non-polar (symmetrical)
    1. BF3 b. BeCl2 c. CO2 d. NH3 e. PF3 f. H2 g. O2 h. N2 i. H2O j. SiF4 k. PCl5 l. SF6
  7. Trigonal planar (nonpolar), b. linear (nonpolar), c. linear (nonpolar), d. trigonal pyramidal (polar), e. trigonal pyramidal (polar), f. linear (nonpolar), g. linear (nonpolar) h. linear (nonpolar), i. bent (polar), j. tetrahedral (nonpolar) k. trigonal bipyramidal (nonpolar) l. octahedral (nonpolar)
  8. List 3 intermolecular forces (forces between molecules) in order of increasing strength. London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, hydrogen bonding.
  9. List forces that occur between atoms and the types of elements they form between (3 total). Also, list the force that would be an intramolecular force. Covalent bonds (nonmetals only), ionic bonds (metal and nonmetal) and metallic bonds (metals only). Intramolecular – Covalent Bonds.
  10. What state of matter typically has the strongest intermolecular forces? Solids The weakest? gases
  11. How are melting point & boiling point related to intermolecular forces? The stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the boiling and melting points.
  12. What is a limiting reactant? The reactant that is completely consumed in the reaction.
  13. What does it limit? It limits how much product can form.
  14. What’s the theoretical yield? The maximum amount of product that can be formed in a reaction. A reaction that goes to 100% completion.
  15. How can you tell by reading a stoichiometry prompt that you need to determine the limiting reactant? If at least 2 given values for reactants are given. See next question.
  16. If 60.3 g of C3H6O react with 41.6 g of O2,what’s the theoretical yield of CO in grams, according to the following equation? 2 C3H6O + 5 O2 🡪 6 CO + 6 H2O (HINT:Fastest method is pick-a-product)

60.3 g x 1 mole x 6 mole x 28.01 g = 87.2 g

58.09 g 2 mole 1 mole

41.6 g x 1 mole x 6 mole x 28.01 g = 43.7 g ****** 43.7 g carbon dioxide produced.

32.00 g 5 mole 1 mol

  1. For 15A-15C, consider the combustion of methane, CH4(g) + 2 O2 (g)→ CO2 (g)+ 2 H2O (g).
  2. If there are 63.5 L of methane, how many L of water are produced at STP?

63.5 L x 1 mole x 2 mole x 22.41 L = 127 L a simpler way is to multiply the coefficients

22.41 L 1 mole 1 mole

63.5 L x 2 L = 127 L A common sense way to solve and it is acceptable.

1 L

  1. Consider the combustion of methane, CH4 (g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g) at a pressure of 1.5 atm & a temp of 350 °C. How many L of O2 (g) are required to produce 5.25 L of CO2(g) under the same set of conditions?

You have twice as much oxygen as methane, therefore, 5.25 L x 2 = 10.5 L (Avogadro’s hypoth)

Could solve for moles of carbon dioxide, use Stoich, and then solve for V = nRT/P too much work.

  1. How many L of H2O are produced when 25.5 g of methane burns in excess O2 @ 35°C & 1.2 atm?

25.5 g x 1 mole x 2 mol = 3.18 mole water

V = 3.18 mol * 0.0821 * 308.15 K = 67 L

1.2 atm

  1. If a 2.41 moles gas has a pressure of 1.13 atm at 3.45 degrees C, what is the volume of the gas?

1.13 atm

  1. If a 55.4 L gas contains 4.37 g at STP, what is the molar mass of the gas in g/mol?

n = 1.00 atm * 55.4 L n = 2.47 mol 4.37 g = 1.77 g/mol

0.0821 * 273.15 K 2.47 mol

or 55.4 L x 1 mole/22.41 L = 2.47 mol then, same as above 4.37 g/2.47 mol = 1.77 g/mol

  1. A sample of a gas occupies 1.40 x 103 mL at 35.0° C and 760 mmHg. What volume will it occupy at the same temperature and a pressure of 840 mm Hg?

Kbase = 1 x10-14 = 1.6 x 10-11 M , You could pOH=-log(6.2 x 10-4) = 3.208 , 14-3.208 = 10.79,

6.2 x 10-4 10-10.79= 1.6 x 10-11

Arteaga’s students only for the T-chart…don’t worry about. Oxidation: numbers increase (up) and Reduction: oxidation numbers decrease (down); the electrons are located on the product side for oxidation, e- are located on the reactant side for reduction; Oxidation is loss of electrons, reduction is gain of electrons.

Towards the product side

  1. The reaction achieves equilibrium: N2 (g)+ 3 H2 (g) 2NH3 (g). If the volume is increased, how will the pressure change? ____________________ In response to this stress, which direction will the equilibrium shift in order to re-establish equilibrium?____________________ Why?_____________

If volume is increased, the pressure is decreased. It will shift to the side with more moles of gas (to the reactant side). Why: the pressure is decreased, to compensate for this decrease, the reaction will shift to the side with more moles that creates more pressure. This will reestablish equilibrium. The reaction would not shift to the side with less pressure, that would exacerbate the decrease and create greater disequilibrium.
