4. (0.5 marks) Sulfurous acid, H2SO3, is

A. a strong electrolyte

B. a weak electrolyte

C. a nonelectrolyte
Strong electrolytes include:
all aqueous strong acids/bases (you are responsible for memorizing a small list of these) & aqueous ionic
salts (determined by the solubility rules that you are responsible for memorizing)

Weak electrolytes include:


all weak acids/bases

Nonelectrolytes include:
all species that effectively do not ionize in water. Examples from your assignment (and class) used were
alcohols & diols (e.g. ethanol (CH3CH2OH), methanol (CH3OH), ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH), etc...) as
examples of nonelectrolytes.

Since sulfurous acid is a weak acid (not on the list of strong acids that you are responsible for
memorizing),
then it is a weak electrolyte.

5. (0.5 marks) What is the oxidation state of C in C2H5OH?

A. 3
The oxidation state of H in a compound is +1 (not in H2), unless the H is
B. +6 attached to a group 1 or 2 metal (e.g. NaH, LiH, CaH 2, etc,...)

C. +2
D. 4 The oxidation state of O in a compound is 2 (not in O2) unless it is
contained in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or is attached to fluorine (e.g. F2O,
E. 2 F2O2, etc,...).

The sum of the oxidation #'s is equal to the net charge of the molecule (or
ion), therefore let x be the oxidation # of C.

oxidation #'s = net charge


2 x 5( 1) ( 2) 1 0
2 x 4

6. (0.5 marks) Which of the following combinations of solutions yields a precipitate?

A. KNO3(aq) and CaCl2(aq)


B. AgNO3(aq) and NH4Br(aq)
C. Mg(NO3)2(aq) and Li2SO4(aq)
D. More than one of these combinations yields a precipitate.
E. None of these combinations yields a precipitate.

This question addresses the solubility rules that you are responsible for memorizing.

First, exchange the cations (positive ions) attached to the pair of aqueous species.

A. KCl and Ca(NO3)2


B. AgBr and NH4NO3
C. MgSO4 and LiNO3

Second, decide if any of the new species are soluble (aqueous) or insoluble (forms a precipitate).

A. All ionic salts of group 1 metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, etc...) are soluble and all ionic salts containing
nitrate (NO3) are soluble.

B. Ionic salts of Ag+, Hg+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ with halides (Cl, Br, I etc...) are insoluble, therefore AgBr is a
solid precipitate. All ionic salts of ammonium (NH4+) are soluble and all ionic salts containing NO3 are
soluble.

C. Ionic salts of sulfate, SO42 are soluble, except if formed with some group 2 metals (Ca 2+, Ba2+ and Sr2+),
or with Ag+, Hg+, Hg2+ and Pb2+. All ionic salts of group 1 metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, etc...) are soluble and
all ionic salts containing nitrate (NO3) are soluble.

7. (0.5 marks) Is the reaction below a precipitation, an acid-base or an oxidation-reduction


reaction? Assume the reaction occurs in aqueous solution.

CuSO4 + Zn Cu + ZnSO4
A. a precipitation reaction
B. an acid-base reaction
C. an oxidation-reduction reaction
A precipitation reaction involves the formation of an insoluble solid ionic product (based on the
solubility rules) from aqueous reactants.

The reaction shown above has one ionic product (ZnSO4) and it is soluble (aqueous). This is not a
precipitation reaction.

An acid-base reaction must involve the transfer of one or more protons (H +) from one reactant species to
another.

The reactant species in the reaction above contain no hydrogen and therefore cannot transfer protons!

An oxidation-reduction reaction must involve the change in oxidation states of one or more of the
elements contained in the reactant species due to the transfer of electrons.

In the reaction above, in the reactants, the oxidation state of copper (Cu) in CuSO 4 is +2. In the products,
the oxidation state of Cu is 0. In the reactants, the oxidation state of zinc (Zn) is 0. In the products, the
oxidation state of Zn in ZnSO4 is +2. A change in the oxidation states of one or more of the elements
contained within reactant species has occurred, this is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

C. 6.7%
D. 67%

The percentage of O in UO2 is

mO
%O 100%
mUO2
Assume that there is 1 mole of UO2.

If we write an "atomization" equation for UO2, it reminds us of the amounts of U and O contained
within UO2.

9. (1 mark) What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous
solutions of hypochlorous acid, HClO, and magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, are
combined?

A. 2 HClO(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) Mg(ClO)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)


B. H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l)
C. 2 HClO(aq) + Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH(aq) Mg(ClO)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)
D. HClO(aq) + OH(aq) ClO(aq) + H2O(l)
E. 2 H+(aq) + 2 ClO(aq) + Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH(aq) Mg(ClO)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

When aqueous solutions of an acid and base are mixed, an acid-base neutralization reaction will
occur.

The hydroxide ion (OH) of the base, magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH) 2, will react with the proton
(H+) of the weak acid, HClO. We know that HClO is a weak acid, because it is not on the list of
strong acids to memorize.

The unbalanced molecular equation for the reaction is

HClO(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) Mg(ClO)2(aq) + H2O(l)

Balance the molecular equation. There is one ClO group on the left side (LS) and two ClO groups
on the right side (RS).

2 HClO(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) Mg(ClO)2(aq) + H2O(l)

There are 4 O's on LS and 3 O's on RS.

2 HClO(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) Mg(ClO)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

The molecular equation is balanced. Next, separate all aqueous species that will fully dissociate
into their component ions. HClO is a weak acid and will not fully dissociate. Aqueous Mg(OH)2
will fully dissociate. Mg(OCl)2 is an ionic salt that will dissociate fully (because it is not a
species specified as insoluble by our solubility rules). Therefore,

2 HClO(aq) + Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH(aq) Mg2+(aq) + 2 ClO(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

Remove the Mg2+ spectator ions and the common factor of 2 in front of each of the remaining
species and the net ionic equation is

HClO(aq) + OH(aq) ClO(aq) + H2O(l)

10. (1 mark) How many moles of K+ ions are there in a 0.12 L of 0.015 mol L1 K2SO4(aq)?

A. 1.8 103 mol


B. 3.6 103 mol
C. 7.2 103 mol
D. 9.4 103 mol
E. 5.4 103 mol

We will use the mole process to find how much K+ will be produced from K2SO4.

First, write a balanced equation for the dissociation (100%) of aqueous K2SO4.

K2SO4(aq) 2 K+(aq) + SO42(aq)

Second, use the mole process.

To moles:

nK2SO4 [K 2SO4 ] VK SO 2 4
= 0.015 mol L-1 (0.12 L) = 0.0018 mol

Between moles:

11. (1 mark) Consider the unbalanced redox reaction shown below.


MnO4(aq) + ClO2(aq) MnO2(s) + ClO4(aq) (in basic solution)
When the equation is balanced with the smallest whole number coefficients, what is the
coefficient of OH ?
A. 4 Assign oxidation states to the elements in the reaction.
B. 1
The oxidation state of O in a compound is 2 (not in O2) unless it is contained in
C. 3 hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or is attached to fluorine (e.g. F2O, F2O2, etc,...).

D. 2
E. 5 oxidation #'s = net charge
Let x be the oxidation # of Mn in MnO4. Let x be the oxidation # of Cl in ClO2.
x 4( 2) 1 x 2( 2) 1
x 7 x 3
Let x be the oxidation # of Mn in MnO2. Let x be the oxidation # of Cl in ClO4.
x 2( 2) 0 x 4( 2) 1
x 4 x 7

Determine what species are being oxidized and reduced.

Since the oxidation # of Mn in MnO4, changes from +7 to +4 in MnO2, it has become


more negative, thus Mn has gained (GER or RIG) 3 electrons (3e) and is reduced.
Since the oxidation # of Cl in ClO2, changes from +3 to a +7 in ClO4, it has become
more positive, thus Cl has lost (LEO or OIL) 4 electrons (4e) and is oxidized.

Write down the half reactions for the reduction and oxidation processes.

red: MnO4(aq) MnO2(s)


ox: ClO2(aq) ClO4(aq)

Balance the elements being oxidized and reduced where applicable.

The elements being oxidized and reduced are already balanced.

Add in the electrons being transferred (be careful to account for stoichiometry
where applicable).

The Mn in MnO4 gains 3e upon forming MnO4


The Cl in ClO2 loses 4e upon forming ClO4

red: MnO4(aq) + 3e MnO2(s)


ox: ClO2(aq) ClO4(aq) + 4e
CHEM 120 (Fall 2011) Test #1 (Version 001 Solutions) Page 10 of 17

11. continued

Combine the half reactions in such a way that the electrons cancel.

This is accomplished by multiplying the reduction half reaction by 4, then adding it to 3


times the oxidation half reaction.

red: [MnO4(aq) + 3e MnO2(s)] 4


gives,
red: 4 MnO4(aq) + 12e 4 MnO2(s)

ox: [ClO2(aq) ClO4(aq) + 4e] 3


gives,
ox: 3 ClO2(aq) 3 ClO4(aq) + 12e

Therefore,
red: 4 MnO4(aq) + 12e 4 MnO2(s)
ox: 3 ClO2(aq) 3 ClO4(aq) + 12e

gives,
4 MnO4(aq) + 3 ClO2(aq) 4 MnO2(s) + 3 ClO4(aq)

Balance the net charge on each side of the equation using hydroxide (OH ) since
this reaction occurs in basic solution.

Net charge on the left side (LS) = 7 & net charge on the right side (RS) = 3
Therefore, we must add 4 OH's to the RS for the net charges of LS = RS.

4 MnO4(aq) + 3 ClO2(aq) 4 MnO2(s) + 3 ClO4(aq) + 4 OH(aq)

Finally, use water (H2O) to balance the oxygen atoms (O) on each side of the
equation.

There are 22 O's on the LS & 24 O's on the RS, therefore, we add 2 H2O's to the LS.

2 H2O(l) + 4 MnO4(aq) + 3 ClO2(aq) 4 MnO2(s) + 3 ClO4(aq) + 4 OH(aq)

The equation can be checked for correctness by noting if the hydrogen atoms (H)
are balanced.

There are 4 H's on the LS & 4 H's on the RS.

The coefficient in front of OH is 4

one acidic hydrogen atom.

A. 69.2 g mol1

The mass of HX is known. We will use the mole process to find how many moles of HX reacted with
the known amount of NaOH.

First, write a balanced equation for the acid-base neutralization of HX with NaOH.

HX(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaX(aq) + H2O(l)

Second, use the mole process.

To moles:

13.
Assume that there is 1 mole of CH3COOH.
