According to the Arrhenius theory, an acid is defined as a species that:
donates ions in water
accepts ions
donates electron pairs
accepts electron pairs
Which of the following oxoacids has the highest strength?
When carbon dioxide () dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid (), making the solution acidic. This behavior is best explained by acting as a:
Lewis acid, accepting an electron pair from
Bronsted-Lowry base, accepting a proton from
Arrhenius acid, directly releasing ions
Lewis base, donating an electron pair to
Why does have a linear geometry while is bent?
has no lone pairs on the central atom, while does.
has double bonds, while has single bonds.
has a smaller steric number than .
forms tetrahedral bonds, while forms trigonal planar bonds.
A system containing a mixture of oil and water, which do not mix, is best described as a:
One-phase system
Two-phase system
Homogeneous mixture
Solution
Which of these statements is NOT true about a gas?
Gas has a definite shape.
Gas has no definite shape.
Gas has no definite volume.
Gas fills its container completely.
Explain why the enthalpy of vaporization for water is significantly higher than its enthalpy of fusion, even though both are endothermic processes.
Vaporization involves breaking all intermolecular bonds, while fusion only weakens them.
Water molecules are larger in the gaseous state than in the liquid state.
The temperature for vaporization is much higher than for fusion.
Fusion is a slower process, allowing more time for energy absorption.
According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the:
Difference in partial pressure
Sum of partial pressures
Product of partial pressure
Average of the partial pressures
