Example Question #64 : Solutions
What would be the best solvent would you choose to dissolve C31H64?
Acetone (C3H6O)
Water
All of the above
Ethanol (C2H5OH)
Toluene (C7H8)
Toluene (C7H8)
C31H64 is a non-polar substance and would dissolve best in a non-polar solvent like Toluene.
Example Question #65 : Solutions
A student investigates a series of compounds in a thin layer chromatography experiment. The student has a sample of three organic compounds labeled A, B, and C as well as an unknown compound. The student performs the experiment as shown on the left above and gets the results shown on the right. What organic compound is in the unknown sample?
None of the above
Sample A
Sample A + B + C
Sample C
Sample B
Sample C
The unknown sample gives a single spot that has migrated to the same amount as Sample C.
Example Question #631 : Ap Chemistry
What is the energy of a photon that has a wavelength of 540 nm?
None of the above

Example Question #632 : Ap Chemistry
What transition would emit the longest wavelength of light?
Not enough information given
n = 4 to n = 3
n = 4 to n = 1
n = 3 to n = 1
n = 2 to n = 1
n = 4 to n = 3
Wavelength is inversely proportional to energy. Since the transition from n=4 to n=3 is the lowest energy transition, it would have the longest wavelength.
Example Question #632 : Ap Chemistry
What photon wavelength can promote a transition from the n = 1 (ground state) to the n = 3 (excited state)?
408 nm
102 nm
306 nm
1 m
204 nm
102 nm

Example Question #633 : Ap Chemistry
A 3.0 eV light is shined on Gold ( Փ = 5.1 eV), silver (Փ =4.26 eV), Cesium (Փ = 2.1 eV), and Platinum (Փ = 6.35). If Փ is the work function of the metal, what metal would have electrons ejected?
Au, Ag, and Pt
Cs
Au
Ag
Pt
Cs
The work function is the energy required to remove an electron from a metal. Only Cs metal has a work function less than the energy of the light.
Example Question #635 : Ap Chemistry
A student has a Blue #1 dye with a molar absorptivity of 1.30 x 105 M-1 cm-1 at 631 nm. If the student runs this sample through a spectrophotometer and finds it has an absorption of 0.500 what is the dye’s molarity? Assume a path length of 1.0 cm.

Example Question #1 : Net Ionic Equations
What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when sodium chloride is mixed with silver nitrate.
Na+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) -> NaNO3 (s)
NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) -> NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (aq)
NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) -> NaNO3 (aq) + AgCl (s)
Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) -> AgCl (s)
NaCl (aq) + AgNO3 (aq) -> NaNO3 (s) + AgCl (aq)
Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) -> AgCl (s)
Only the Ag and Cl ions are reacting to form solid silver chloride.
Example Question #2 : Net Ionic Equations
What is the net ionic equation that occurs when sodium chloride is mixed with potassium nitrate?
No Reaction
NaCl (aq) + KNO3 (aq) -> KNO3 (aq) + KCl (s)
NaCl (aq) + KNO3 (aq) -> NaNO3 (aq) + KCl (aq)
NaCl (aq) + KNO3 (aq) -> NaNO3 (s) + KCl (aq)
Na+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) -> NaNO3 (s)
No Reaction
Since no precipitation is predicted by the solubility rules, there will be no reaction.
Example Question #3 : Net Ionic Equations
What is the net ionic reaction when potassium carbonate is mixed with Calcium bromide?
2 K2CO3 (aq) + CaBr2 (aq) -> 2 KBr (s) + CaCO3 (aq)
Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) -> CaCO3(s)
2 K2CO3 (aq) + CaBr2 (aq) -> 2 KBr (aq) + CaCO3 (aq)
2 K2CO3 (aq) + CaBr2 (aq) -> 2 KBr (aq) + CaCO3 (s)
2 K+ (aq) + Br- (aq) -> 2 KBr (s)
Ca2+ (aq) + CO32- (aq) -> CaCO3(s)
Only the calcium and carbonate ions are reacting according to the solubility rules to form calcium carbonate.
