Hour Exam I Page No. 5 21. Solid sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) decomposes upon heating to form solid sodium carbonate, water vapor, and carbon dioxide gas. Suppose you are given an unknown mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate and are asked to determine the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate in the mixture. You find the mass of the mixture to be 27.000 g and begin heating it. After a few minutes your hot plate breaks and you do not know if all of the original baking soda has decomposed. You are running out of time so you cool the sample and measure its mass, finding it to be 25.155 g. It turns out that, given your data, you can determine at least one of the following (you may be able to determine two, or even all three this is for you to decide). Circle YES or NO after each of the three questions below (remembering that the answer to at least one of these is YES ). Can you determine the mass of sodium bicarbonate that decomposed? YES NO Can you determine the mass of sodium bicarbonate in the original mixture? YES NO Can you determine whether or not the reaction went to completion (that is, whether or not there is any sodium bicarbonate left after heating)? YES NO In the space below, and on the next page, provide verbal and mathematical support for your choices. For example, if you answer YES to either of the first two questions, then determine the mass. If you answer NO, show why you cannot determine the mass. If you answer YES to the third question, then state either the reaction went to completion or the reaction did not go to completion and provide proof. If you answer NO to this, show why you cannot determine it. Explain completely, show all work, and define any variables fully and carefully.

Hour Exam I Page No. 7 22. Recall from lecture and your textbook homework that the lift (or buoyancy) of a hot air balloon is due to the difference between the mass of the cooler air that was displaced and the mass of the hot air in the balloon. Remember that the bottom of the balloon (where the heater is) is open. a. For both of the following scenarios you are to consider two different balloons of the same volume and you are to determine which balloon, if either, has the greater lift. That is, your answer for each may be Balloon #1, Balloon #2, or They both have equal lift. Only one variable will be different between the balloons, as described below. Support your answer by using the gas laws and premises of the kinetic molecular theory. i. Balloon #1 is flown on a day in which atmospheric pressure is greater than the day in which balloon #2 is flown. All other conditions [including the make-up of the air, the outside air temperature (cool), and temperature of air inside the balloons (higher than outside)] are the same for the two balloons. Explain completely. [6 points] ii. Balloon #1 is flown on a planet which has an atmosphere of helium (that is, the gas inside and outside the balloon is helium) and balloon #2 is flown on Earth (atmosphere of air). All other conditions [including atmospheric pressure, outside (cool) temperature, and temperature of gas inside the balloon (higher than outside)] are the same for the two balloons. Explain completely. [6 points]
Hour Exam I Page No. 8 22. (con t) b. In the space below, derive the relationship that allows you to determine the lift or buoyancy of a hot air balloon. Your final equation should only include the following variables: atmospheric pressure (P), volume of the balloon (V), temperature outside the balloon (T cool ), temperature inside the balloon (T hot ), and molar mass of the gas inside and outside the balloon (MM; note the same gas is inside and outside the balloon). If you decide the lift is independent of one or more of these variables, do not include it in your equation. In addition, explain (using the premises of the kinetic molecular theory) the direct or inverse relationship of all variables and explain how your equation is consistent with your explanations to part a.

Hour Exam I Page No. 9 23. In a 1.00-L rigid steel container at constant temperature you place 7.00 mol of PCl 3 (g) and 6.00 mol of Cl 2 (g). The system reaches equilibrium according to the following chemical equation: PCl 3 (g) + Cl 2 (g) PCl 5 (g) After equilibrium is reached, you note that the partial pressure of Cl 2 (g) is two times as large as the partial pressure of PCl 5 (g). a. Determine the equilibrium concentrations for all species, and the value of K, the equilibrium constant, for the chemical equation as given above. Show all work. [4 points] b. You add 6.00 mol of PCl 3 (g) to the equilibrium mixture as determined in part a above. In Row 1 of the table on page 11, fill in the new initial number of moles for each of the three species before the system returns to equilibrium (that is, simply add 6 to the number of moles of PCl 3 (g) and keep the number of moles of Cl 2 (g) and PCl 5 (g) the same as you have determined in part a above (you ll see why you are doing this shortly) c. Next, determine the new equilibrium concentrations for all species after adding 6.00 mol of PCl 3 (g). Also, fill in the number of moles for each of the three species in Row 2 of the table on page 11. Show all work. [3 points]
Hour Exam I Page No. 10 23. d. Suppose that you have the same equilibrium mixture as determined in part a above (still in a 1.0-L container) and you add 6.00 mol of PCl 3 (g) to this as before, but in this case the container is fitted with a massless, frictionless piston. Determine the equilibrium concentrations for all species. Also, fill in the number of moles for each of the three species in Row 3 of the table on page 11. Explain how the approach to solving this problem is different from part c, and show all work. [7 points]
Hour Exam I Page No. 11 23. (con t) e. Fill in the table with the number of moles of reactants and product [1 point] 1 2 3 Addition of PCl 3 (g) (initial conditions) Equilibrium (part c steel tank) Equilibrium (part d cont. w/ piston) moles PCl 3 (g) moles Cl 2 (g) moles PCl 5 (g) f. By adding PCl 3 (g), the equilibrium position should have been pushed to the right in both parts c and d. You can tell this by comparing the number of moles of all species in Rows 2 and 3 to the initial moles in Row 1 in the table above. Was there a difference in how far the system went to the right to reach equilibrium, depending on whether it was done in rigid tank or container with a piston? If so, explain in which case it went further to the right and why this makes sense. If there was no difference, explain why this makes sense. [5 points] Note: if you cannot determine any of the moles for the table, or if you believe your relative numbers do not make sense, explain what the relative numbers should have been and why. Otherwise, use your numbers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
