One point earned if precipitation reaction is clearly indicated and moles or concentration of OH¯ is calculated correctly

Zn(OH)2(s) ---> Zn2+ + OH¯
  x   (0.050 + 2x)

Ksp = 7.7 x 10¯17 = [Zn2+] [OH¯]2 = (x)(0.050 + 2x)2 = (x)(0.050)2 ----> [Zn2+] = 3.1 x 10¯14 M (one point)

OR

  (0.050-x   (0.150-2x)

Ksp = 7.7 x 10¯17 = [Zn2+] [OH¯]2 = (0.050 - x)(0.150 - 2x)2 (one point)

Solve for x, then subtract x from 0.050 M to obtain [Zn2+] (one point)


2)

(a) Assume a 100 gram sample ( not necessary for credit ):

65.60g C x (1 mol C / 12.01 g C) = 5.462 mol C

9.44g H x (1 mol H / 1.0079 g H) = 9.366 mol H

mass O = [100 - (65.60 + 9.44)] = 24.96 g O

24.96 g O x (1 mol O / 15.9994 g O) = 1.560 mol O

One point earned for determining moles of C and moles of H
One point earned for determining moles of O
One point earned for correct empirical formula

(b) m = DT / Kf = 15.2 °C /40.0 K kg mol¯1 = 0.380 mol / kg

0.01608 kg x (0.380 mo / 1 kg) = 0.00611 mol

molar mass = 1.570 g/ 0.00611 mol = 257 g / mol

One point earned for determination of molarity
One point earned for conversion of molarity to molar mass

OR,

moles solute = (DT x kg solvent) / Kf = 0.00611 mol (one point)

molar mass = 1.570 g / 0.00611 mol = 257 g / mol (one point)

OR,

molar mass = (mass x Kf) / (DT x kg solvent) = 257 g / mol (two points)

empirical mass of C7H12O2 = 7(12) + 12(1) + 2(16) = 128 g/mol

128 g/mol = 1/2 molar mass ---> molecular formula = 2x ( empirical formula) -----> molecular formula = C14H24O4 (one point)

One point earned if molecular formula is wrong but is consistent with empirical formula and molar mass
No penalty for simply ignoring the van't Hoff factor
Only one point earned for part (b) if response indicates that DT= (15.2 + 273) = 288 K and molar mass = 13.6 g / mol

(c) n = (pV) / (RT) = [(1 atm) (0.577 L)] / [(0.0821 L atm mol°11) (573 K)] = 0.0123 mol (one point)

molar mass = mass of sample / moles in sample = 1.570 g / 0.0123 mol = 128 g/mol (one point)

Only one point can be earned for part (c) if wrong value for R is used and/or T is not converted from C to K

(d) The compound must form a dimer in solution, because the molar mass in solution is twice that it is in the gas phase,

OR,

the compound must dissociate in the gas phase ( A (g) --> 2B (g)) because the molar mass in the gas phase is half that it is in solution.

One point earned for a reference to either or both the ideas of dimerization and dissociation,br> -No point earned for a " non - ideal behavior " argument

6)

(a) Response must clearly indicate ( and distinguish between ) Eact and DHrxn on graph

Each earns one point

(b) i. Response shows a softly curving line that approaches the time axis and whose slope changes continually.

No penalty if curve crosses time axis or levels out above time axis.
Curve must drop initially and continually. No credit earned if [N2O5] increases

ii. Reaction rate is the slope of the line tangent to any point on the curve. (one point)

Rate must be tied somehow to slope of the graph
Answer may be indicated directly on the graph
Instantaneous rate ust be indicated rather than the average rate

iii. Since "rate = slope = k[N2O5]", the value of k can be determined algebraicallly from the slope at a known value of [N2O5]. (one point)

No penalty for "rate = 2k [N2O5] as a reaction stoichiometry could suggest this answer.
Point can be earned for rate constant = slope of graph if ln[N2O5] vs. time since reaction is first order.
Use half-life or integrated rate law to solve for k can be accepted.

iv. The value of the rate constant is independent of the reactant concentrations, so adding more reactant will not affect the value of k. (one point)

no point earned for simply stating that value of k will not change.
Response must distinguish between rate and rate constant.

(c) i. Rate = k[A] or ln([A]/[A]o) = kt. Since graph of ln[A] vs. time is linear, it must be a first-order reaction. (one point)

Either from of the rate law is acceptable, and both the equation and the brief justification are required to earn the point.
No point earned if response indicates first order because the first graph is not linear.

ii. Determine the slope of the second graph and set "k = -slope." (one point)

Response must indicate both the negative sign and the slope.


7)

(a) The number of moles of CO will decrease (one point)

because

adding H2, will make the reaction shift to the left, (one point)

OR

adding H2s will make the reaction quotient larger than K, thus the reaction shifts to the left.

(b) The number of moles of CO will increase (one point)

because

since the reaction is endothermic, adding of the heat (as a reactant) will drive the reaction to the right. (one point)

(c) The number of moles of CO will decrease. (one point)

because

`there are more moles of gas (2) on the right than on the left (1), thus decreasing the volume which increases the pressure causes the reaction to shift to the left. (one point)

(d) The number of moles of CO will stay the same (one point)

because

Solids are not involved in the equilibrium expression (one point)

OR

solids have no effect on the equilibrium.

8)

(a) 2 Ag+(aq) + Cd(s) --> 2 Ag(s) + Cd2+(aq) (one point)

equation must be balanced and net ionic, phases not necessary
reaction direction and ion charges must be correct

0.08 - (-0.40) = 1.20 V (one point)

evidence of where numbers came from should be present; if equation is exactly reversed, -1.20 V earns the point

(b) Anions (or NO3¯ ions) will follow to the Cd2+ solution or from the Ag+ solution to balance the charges (one point)

OR

Anions will flow to the left to balance the positive charge of the new Cd2+ ions
both the correct direction and justification needed to earn this point
direction may be indicated by arrow marked on diagram

(c) The cell voltage will increase. (one point)

Ag+ is a reactant, so increasing [Ag+] will increase the driving force (stress) for the forward (spontaneous) reaction and the potential will increase (one point)

OR

Since Q = [Cd2+] / [Ag+]2, increasing [Ag+] will decrease Q. According to the Nernst equation, E = E - ( 0.0592 log Q ) / n, if Q decreases, then the voltage increases.

(d) The cell voltage will decrease. (one point)

Adding the NaCl will have no effect on the Cd cell, but will cause AgCl to precipitate in the Ag cell (Ag+ + Cl¯ --> AgCl ). Thus [Ag+] causes a decrease in voltage. (one point)
One credit earned for " decreasing [Ag+] results in decreased voltage " or "opposite part of (c) "

(e) Since Q = [Cd2+] / [Ag+]2, diluting both solution by the same amount will increase the value of Q. According to the Nernst equation, E = E° - (0.0592 log Q)/n, if Q increases, then voltage dcreases. (one point)
No credit earned for "since the solutions are diluted, the voltage will decrease. "


9)
