Bonding and Intermolecular Forces

medium

Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?

medium

The Lewis structure of the sulfate ion (SO4^2-) shows the central sulfur atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. What is the formal charge on the sulfur atom when all bonds are single bonds?


Stoichiometry

easy

A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen by mass. What is its empirical formula?


Thermodynamics

easy

The enthalpy of combustion of methane is -890 kJ/mol. When 0.50 mol of methane is burned completely in excess oxygen, how much heat is released?

hard

Given the following reactions: (1) C(s) + O2(g) yields CO2(g), delta H = -393.5 kJ/mol; (2) CO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) yields CO2(g), delta H = -283.0 kJ/mol. Using Hess\'s law, what is delta H for the reaction C(s) + 1/2 O2(g) yields CO(g)?


Kinetics and Equilibrium

easy

A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by:

medium

For the equilibrium N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <=> 2 NH3(g), delta H = -92 kJ/mol, which change will increase the yield of ammonia at equilibrium?
