Unit 3 Problem Set

This is just a study guide to help you think about the concepts we covered in this unit, but study guides do not always cover or review everything. Here's some things you can do to prepare for the Unit 3 Exam:

1) Make sure you can explain each of your answers to this Problem Set. Do you understand the concept or did you just memorize arithmetic?
2) Review your Concentration of Dye in Gatorade lab
3) Review your notes. We covered the following topics this unit:
  • Molarity and Dilutions
  • Photoelectric Effect (energy, wavelength, frequency) concepts and calculations
  • Spectroscopy (how do molecules interact with different types of radiations/light)
  • Beer-Lambert Law
  • Ideal Gas Law (variable relationships and calculations)
  • Partial Pressure
  • Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
  • Deviation from the Ideal Gas Law
The hardest part of AP exams is that you have to think flexibly. If you truly understand a topic, you can answer a question no matter how it is presented.

The peak of the curve would be shifted to the left because less light would be absorbed.
The peak of the curve would be shifted to the right because more light would be absorbed.
An experiment was performed to investigate the reaction between Zn metal and Ni2+ ⁡(aq) at different concentrations. Because the Ni2+⁡ (aq) ion is green, the extent of the reaction was determined using spectrophotometric analysis. Four 20.0mL standard solutions of Ni2+ ⁡(aq) were prepared by dissolving NiCl2⋅6⁢ H2⁢O (molar mass 240g/mol) in water. The absorbance of each solution was measured; the results are shown both in the table below and in the following plot of the absorbance data.

A gaseous air‑fuel mixture in a sealed car engine cylinder has an initial volume of 600 mL at 1.0 atm. To prepare for ignition of the fuel, a piston moves within the cylinder, reducing the volume of the air‑fuel mixture to 50 mL at constant temperature. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the new pressure of the air‑fuel mixture?
About 0.083 atm, because the initial volume of the gas mixture was 12 times larger than its final volume.
About 12 atm, because the volume of the gas mixture decreased by a factor of 12.
About 120. atm, because the initial volume of the gas mixture was 120 times larger than its final volume.
About 550. atm, because the change in the volume of the gas mixture was 550.mL.
At 10.°C, 20.g of oxygen gas exerts a pressure of 2.1atm in a rigid, 7.0L cylinder. Assuming ideal behavior, if the temperature of the gas was raised to 40.°C, which statement indicates the new pressure and explains why?
0.52 atm, because the pressure P decreases by the proportion (10 / 40).
8.4 atm, because the pressure P increases by the proportion (40 / 10).
2.3 atm, because the pressure P increases by the proportion (313 / 283).
1.9 atm, because the pressure P decreases by the proportion (283 / 313).

Two sealed, rigid 5.0L containers each contain a gas at the same temperature but at a different pressure, as shown above. Also shown are the results of transferring the entire contents of container 1 to container 2. No gases escape during the transfer. Assuming ideal behavior, which statement is correct regarding the total pressure of the gases after they are combined?
The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas because pressure only depends on the total amount of gas when volume and temperature are held constant.
The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is lower than the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen because some of the energy of the particles will be lost due to an increase in the number of collisions.
The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is higher than the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen because of the intermolecular forces that develop between oxygen and nitrogen molecules.
The total pressure of the gases in the mixture cannot be determined because the actual value of the temperature is not given.
The partial pressures of CH4, N2, and O2 in a sample of gas were found to be 187 mmHg, 487 mmHg, and 555 mmHg, respectively. Calculate the mole fraction of nitrogen.

Note: mmHg (millimeter of mercury) is a unit of pressure. When working with partial pressure problems, the unit of pressure does not need to be in atmospheres (atm).

The diagrams above use arrows to represent the speed of a gas particle. Which of the diagrams best represents the speed of the particles of a gas at a fixed temperature, and why?

The diagrams above represent two samples of Xe gas in containers of equal volume at 280K. Which of the following correctly compares the two samples in terms of their deviation from ideal gas behavior and explains why?
The gas in sample 1 would deviate more from ideal behavior because the average distance an Xe atom travels before colliding with another Xe atom is greater.
The gas in sample 2 would deviate more from ideal behavior because the Xe atoms are closer together, leading to an increase in intermolecular attractions.
The gas in sample 2 would deviate more from ideal behavior because the average speed of the Xe atoms is less, leading to an increase in intermolecular attractions.
The gases in both sample 1 and sample 2 would show the same deviation from ideal behavior.
