Questions 32-36 refer to the following. Two half-cells are set up as follows: Half-Cell A: Strip of \(\mathrm{Cu}(s)\) in \(\mathrm{CuNO}_{3}(a q)\) Half-Cell B: Strip of \(\mathrm{Zn}(s)\) in \(\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\) (aq) When the cells are connected according to the diagram below, the following reaction occurs: GRAPH CAN'T COPY $$2 \mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Zn}(s) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}(s)+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q) E^{\circ}=+1.28 \mathrm{V}$$ If the \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}+e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(s)\) half-reaction has a standard reduction potential of \(+0.52 \mathrm{V},\) what is the standard reduction potential for the \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}(s)\) half-reaction? (A) \(+0.76 \mathrm{V}\) (B) \(-0.76 \mathrm{V}\) (C) \(+0.24 \mathrm{V}\) (D) \(-0.24 \mathrm{V}\)
Use the following information to answer questions 12-15. When heated in a closed container in the presence of a catalyst, potassium chlorate decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas via the following reaction: \(2 \mathrm{KClO}_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{KCl}(s)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\) If 12.25 g of potassium chlorate decomposes, how many grams of oxygen gas will be generated? (A) 1.60 g (B) 3.20 g (C) 4.80 g (D) 18.37 g
Which compound, \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) or \(\mathrm{CaO}\) , would you expect to have a high melting point? Why? (A) \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) because there are more ions per lattice unit (B) \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) because a chlorine ion is smaller than an oxygen ion (C) Cao, because the charge of oxygen ion exceeds that of chlorine ion (D) CaO, because the common charges of calcium and oxygen ions are identical in magnitude
Questions 54-56 refer to the following. GRAPH CAN'T COPY Between propane and ethene, which will likely have the higher boiling point and why? (A) Propane, because it has a greater molar mass (B) Propane, because it has a more polarizable electron cloud (C) Ethene, because of the double bond (D) Ethene, because it is smaller in size
Questions 32-36 refer to the following. Two half-cells are set up as follows: Half-Cell A: Strip of \(\mathrm{Cu}(s)\) in \(\mathrm{CuNO}_{3}(a q)\) Half-Cell B: Strip of \(\mathrm{Zn}(s)\) in \(\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\) (aq) When the cells are connected according to the diagram below, the following reaction occurs: GRAPH CAN'T COPY $$2 \mathrm{Cu}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{Zn}(s) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Cu}(s)+\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q) E^{\circ}=+1.28 \mathrm{V}$$ What will happen in the salt bridge as the reaction progresses? (A) The Na' ions will flow to the Cu/Cu' half-cell. (B) The Br' ions will flow to the Cu/Cu' half-cell. (C) Electrons will transfer from the Cu/Cu' half-cell to the Zn/Zn" half cell. (D) Electrons will transfer from the \(\mathrm{Zn} / \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\) half- cell to the Cu/Cu' half cell.
