  • A. Around the thermometer
  • B. In the condenser
  • C. In the circulating water
  • D. In the heated flask

Explanation: Distillation is described as a two-step process: Vaporization → Condensation. For vaporization to happen, you need a heat source.

Correct answer: In the heated flask
  • A. Around the thermometer
  • B. In the condenser
  • C. In the circulating water
  • D. In the heated flask

Explanation: Distillation is used to separate a volatile liquid (like water) from a non-volatile solid (like magnesium chloride).

Correct answer: In the heated flask
  • A. Move the flask farther from the flame.
  • B. Move the flask closer to the flame.
  • C. Allow less air into the collar of the burner.
  • D. Allow more air into the collar of the burner.

Explanation: An orange, sooty flame indicates incomplete combustion due to insufficient oxygen.

Correct answer: Allow more air into the collar of the burner.
  • A. 0.1 M
  • B. 0.2 M
  • C. 0.3 M
  • D. 1 M

Explanation: Using the titration formula M1V1=M2V2 for the acid and base. Plugging in the values gives (0.1 M) (30 mL)= Mbase(15 mL).

Correct answer: 0.2 M
  • A. Add concentrated acid to water slowly, following the appropriate safety protocols.
  • B. Add water to the concentrated acid slowly.
  • C. Carefully return unused or excess chemicals to their original containers.
  • D. Flush eyes with water at the eyewash fountain for at least 15 minutes, then report the accident for further help.

Explanation: Add concentrated acid to water slowly, following the appropriate safety protocols.

Correct answer: Add concentrated acid to water slowly, following the appropriate safety protocols.
  • A. The rule is to add concentrated acid to water slowly.
  • B. The rule is to add water to the concentrated acid slowly.
  • C. Carefully replace unused or excess chemicals into their properly labeled containers from which they came.
  • D. Flush eyes with water at the eyewash fountain for at least 15 minutes, and then report the accident for further help.
  • E. Dispose of chemicals in the proper places and following posted procedures. Do not return them to their original containers.

Explanation: You never return chemicals or solutions to their original containers for fear of contaminating the original source.

Correct answer: Dispose of chemicals in the proper places and following posted procedures. Do not return them to their original containers.
  • A. The thermodynamics first law is not sufficient to predict the direction of the process
  • B. In the case of an exothermic reaction, the overall enthalpy fo the products is greater than that of reactants
  • C. for the reaction H2(g) + Br2 (l) → 2HBr (g) from the bond enthaly data, It is possible to calculate the value of H
  • D. At 298K and 1 atmpressure, diamond's standard enthalpy is zero

Explanation: Only option A has correct statement. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved in any process.

Correct answer: The thermodynamics first law is not sufficient to predict the direction of the process
