General Chemistry Exam 3 Chem 211 Section 03, Spring 2017 Exam Information You have 50 minutes to complete this exam. Be sure to put your name on the next page. Please ask for clarification of questions if needed. Complete your answers legibly in the space provided and SHOW YOUR WORK. Full credit will only be given for problems that demonstrate how the question was solved. Remember, most calculations are not considered complete unless they have the correct number of significant figures and units. You may only use a simple scientific calculation (no graphing or programmable calculators), and all book materials must be put away. This information may be helpful on the exam: Unit conversions and constants: 1 cal = 4.184 J T (K) = T ( o C) + 273.15 o F = 1.8000 o C + 32.000 1 ml = 1 cm 3 1 atm = 760.0 torr 1 cal = 4.184 J 1000 ml = 1 L 1 A = 1 C sec -1 1 J = 1 V C NA = 6.022137 x 10 23 mol -1 Plank s Constant; h = 6.626 x 10-34 J sec -1 Speed of light; c = 2.998 x 10 8 m s -1 Gas Constant; R = 8.31441 J mol -1 K -1 Faraday s constant; F = 96,484.56 C mol -1 Kw = 1.00 x 10-14 (at 25 o C) Useful equations: q = s m T PV = nrt P T = i P i K p = K c RT M 1V 1 = M 2V 2 For the equation: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, x = b± b2 4ac 2a ph = -log[h 3O + ] ph + poh = 14.00 Kw = 1.00 x 10-14 ; Kw =Ka Kb poh = -log[oh ] pk a = -log(k a) Kw =[H 3O + ] [OH ] G o = H o - T S o G o = -RT ln(k) G = G o + RT ln(q) G o = -nf E o E o cell = E o red, cathode - E o red, anode ln(k) = - Ho R 1 T + So R E cell = E o - RT nf ln(q) SI Prefixes: f p femto pico 10-15 10-12 n nano 10-9 m Micro 10-6 m milli 10-3 c centi 10-2 d deci 10-1 da deca 10 h hector 10 2 k kilo 10 3 M mega 10 6 G giga 10 9 T tera 10 12 Feel free to remove this page from the exam packet while working.
