Show your work questions 11-14: fill in the answer

1. Which of the following pairs are both electrolytes?


A. NaOH and SO2 B. H2SO4 and NH4Cl C. CH3OH and C2H5OH D. HNO2 and NO2 E. CO2 and H2CO3

2. Which of the following is a weak electrolyte?


A. HBr(aq) B. KOH(aq) C. HNO3 D. H3PO4 E. Ba(OH)2

3. For which of the following pairs are both compounds insoluble in water?
A. NaBr, Na2SO4 B. Na2CO3, CaCO3 C. Fe2(CO3)3, Ba3(PO4)2 D. Na3PO4, Ca3(PO4)2 E. PbSO4, MgSO4

4. Which of the following is a weak acid?


A. HClO3 B. HCl C. HClO4 D. HNO3 E. HF

5. Which of the following is a Brønsted acid?


A. NH4+(aq) B. CH3COO– (aq) C. NH3 (aq) D. OH– (aq) E. Na+(aq)

6. Which of the following is a Brønsted base?


A. NH4+(aq) B. Na+(aq) C. HNO3(aq) D. NH3(aq) E. CH3COOH(aq)

7. In the reaction: NH3(aq) + H2O → NH4+(aq) + OH–


A. In this reaction H2O is the Brønsted base B. NH3 is the Brønsted acid and NH4+ is the Brønsted base
C. OH– is a proton donor D. NH4+ is a Brønsted base
E. NH3 is the Brønsted base and NH4 is ta Brønsted acid, they are a conjugate acid-base pair
+

8. The oxidation numbers of S in SO32– and,SO42– are:


A. +2 and + 4 B. +3 and +6 C. +4 and +6 D. +6 and +8 E. –4 and –6

9. The oxidation number of Cr in the dichromate ion, Cr2O72– is:


A. +6 B. +5 C. +4 D. –4 E. +7

10. In the reaction: FeO + CO → Fe + CO2


A. Fe is the oxidizing agent B. CO is reduced C. O2– is oxidized D. CO is the reducing agent
Look at the oxidation numbers: O is –2 in all compounds, no change. CO is not reduced, it is oxidized:
C goes from +2 to +4; The Fe(II) is reduced to the element Fe, so CO is the reducing agent, it reduces
the Fe2+ and in the process is oxidized itself.

Fill in the answer for the following questions.

11. Chang 4.47 (with some changes). Give the oxidation number of the underlined element in
the following compounds and ions:
CO2 CH4 C2H2 CrO3 K2CrO4 NaHCO3 PO43–
Ox.#: +4 –4 –1 +6 +6 +4 +5
Na +1, H +1, O –2

12. Circle the correct answer for each
OH– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
H3O is a
+
Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
CO32– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
HCO3 is a

Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
PO43– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
H3PO4 is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
H2PO4– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
CH3COOH is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
CH3COO– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base / can be both
SO42– is a Brønsted acid / Brønsted base (but a very weak base because HSO4–
yes is a weak acid but not very weak!)

13. Write the balanced molecular reaction and the net ionic reaction for the reaction between
BaCl2 and Na3PO4 in aqueous solution:

Molecular reaction: 3BaCl2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Ba3(PO4)2(s) + 6 NaCl(aq) Must show the (s)!

Net ionic reaction: 3Ba2+(aq) + 2PO43–(aq) → Ba3(PO4)2(s)

14. Chang 4.55 (with some additions). Classify the following reactions as: acid-base, precipitation,
combustion, combination, displacement or disproportionation reaction:
(students must choose one of the options)
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 disproportionation reaction

Mg + 2AgNO3 → Mg(NO3)2 + 2Ag displacement reaction

BaCl2(aq) + MgSO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + MgCl2(aq) precipitation reaction (it is not a redox


reaction, no change in oxidation numbers!)

NH3(aq) + HBr(aq) → NH4Br(aq) acid-base reaction (again, no redox, oxidation numbers


unchanged)

2CO(g) + O2 → 2CO2(g) combustion reaction (combustion is a redox process,


check the oxidation numbers, C is oxidized, O2 is reduced)

H2 + Br2 → 2HBr combination reaction (again, this is a redox process, Br2


oxidizes H2 to H+ and is itself reduced to Br–)
