$$2 \mathrm{NOCl} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$$ The reaction above takes place with all of the reactants and products in the gaseous phase. Which of the following is true of the relative rates of disappearance of the reactants and appearance of the products? (A) NO appears at twice the rate that NOCl disappears. (B) NO appears at the same rate that NOCl disappears. (C) NO appears at half the rate that NOCl disappears. (D) \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) appears at the same rate that NOCl disappears.
\(\begin{array}{ll}{\mathrm{C}(s)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)} & {\Delta H^{\circ}=x} \\\ {\mathrm{C}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)} & {\Delta H^{\circ}=y} \\ {\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)} & {\Delta H^{\circ}=\mathrm{z}}\end{array}\) Based on the information given above, what is \(\Delta H^{\circ}\) for the following reaction? \(\mathrm{CH}_{4}(g)+2 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) (A) \(x+y+z\) (B) \(x+y-z\) (C) \(z+y-2 x\) (D) \(2 z+y-x\)
Use the following information to answer questions 14-16 The radius of atoms and ions is typically measured in Angstroms \((A),\) which is equivalent to \(1 * 10^{-10} \mathrm{m} .\) Below is a table of information for three different elements. TABLE NOT AVAILABLE The phosphorus ion is larger than a neutral phosphorus atom, yet a zinc ion is smaller than a neutral zinc atom. Which of the following statements best explains why? (A) The zinc atom has more protons than the phosphorus atom. (B) The phosphorus atom is paramagnetic, but the zinc atom is diamagnetic. (C) Phosphorus gains electrons when forming an ion, but zinc loses them. (D) The valence electrons in zinc are further from the nucleus than those in phosphorus.
$2 \mathrm{ClF}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \leftrightarrow \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)+\mathrm{F}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) \Delta H=167 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}_{\mathrm{rxn}}$ During the reaction above, the product yield can be increased by increasing the temperature of the reaction. Why is this effective? (A) The reaction is endothermic; therefore adding heat will shift it to the right. (B) Increasing the temperature increases the speed of the molecules, meaning there will be more collisions between them. (C) The reactants are less massive than the products, and an increase in temperature will cause their kinetic energy to increase more than that of the products. (D) The increase in temperature allows for a higher percentage of molecular collisions to occur with the proper orientation to create the product.
Questions 45-48 refer to the following. Inside a calorimeter, 100.0 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of 1.0 \(\mathrm{M}\) hydrocyanic acid (HCN), a weak acid, and 100.0 \(\mathrm{mL}\) of 0.50 \(\mathrm{M}\) sodium hydroxide are mixed. The temperature of the mixture rises from \(21.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(28.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) . The specific heat of the mixture is approximately \(4.2 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{g}^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) and the density is identical to that of water. Identify the correct net ionic equation for the reaction that takes place. (A) \(\mathrm{HCN}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \mapsto \mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) (B) \(\mathrm{HCN}(a q)+\mathrm{NaOH}(a q) \leftrightarrow \mathrm{NaCN}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) (C) \(\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) (D) \(\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{Na}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q)+\mathrm{Na}^{+}\) (aq)
