    Q1(3.

    14)Balance the following equations:

    A:

    Q2 (4.14) State whether each of the statements below is true or false. Justify your
    answer in each case.
    (a) When acetic acid, CH 3COOH, dissolves in water, the solution is strongly conducting
    and acidic in nature.
    (b) When ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is dissolved in water, a conducting solution results.
    A: (a)False. Acetic acid is a weak electrolyte. (b) False. Ethanol does not disassociate in
    water. Electrolytes have no impact on the flow of ions, and so they cannot increase or
    inhibit conductivity.

    Q3(4.35) Label each of the following substances as an acid, base, salt, or none of the
    above. Indicate whether the substance exists in aqueous solution entirely in molecular
    form, entirely as ions, or as a mixture of molecules and ions. (a) HI, (b) acetone,
    CH3COCH3, (c) KBrO4, (d) NH3.
    A: (a) HI: acid, entirely ions (strong electrolyte )

    (b) Acetone, CH3COCH3, entirely molecules (nonelectrolyte)

    (c) KBrO4 : salt, entirely ions (strong electrolyte)

    (d) NH3 : base, mixture of molecules and ions (weak electrolyte)

    Q4(4.46)True or false:
    (a) Oxidation can occur without oxygen.
    A: (a) True. Oxidation is loss of electrons; it can occur in the presence of any electron
    acceptor, not just oxygen.

    (b) Oxidation can occur without reduction.


    A: (b) False. Oxidation and reduction can only occur together, not separately. When a
    substance is oxidized, it loses electrons, but free electrons do not exist under normal
    conditions. If electrons are lost by one substance they must be gained by another, and
    vice versa.

    Q5(4.47) (a) Which region of the periodic table shown here contains elements that are
    easiest to oxidize? (b) Which region contains the least readily oxidized elements?

    A: Analyze. Given the labeled periodic chart, determine which regions are most and least
    easily oxidized.

    Plan. Review the definition of oxidation and apply it to the properties of elements in the
    indicated regions of the chart.

    Solve. Oxidation is loss of electrons. Elements easily oxidized form positive ions; these
    are metals. Elements not readily oxidized tend to gain electrons and form negative ions;
    these are nonmetals. Elements in regions A and B are metals, and their ease of oxidation
    is shown in Table 4.5. Metals in region A, Na, Mg, K, and Ca are most easily oxidized.
    Elements in region D are nonmetals and are least easily oxidized.

    Q6(4.105) Suppose you have 5.00 g of powdered magnesium metal, 1.00 L of 2.00 M
    potassium nitrate solution, and 1.00 L of 2.00 M silver nitrate solution. (a) Which one of
    the solutions will react with the magnesium powder? (b) What is the net ionic equation
    that describes this reaction? (c) What volume of solution is needed to completely react
    with the magnesium? (d) What is the molarity of the Mg2+ ions in the resulting solution?
    Q7(3.85) Hydrogen sulfide is an impurity in natural gas that must be removed. One
    common removal method is called the Claus process, which relies on the reaction:

    Under optimal conditions the Claus process gives 98% yield of S 8 from H2S. If you started
    with 30.0 grams of H2S and 50.0 grams of O2, how many grams of S8 would be produced,
    assuming 98% yield?
    A:
    Q8(4.6) We have seen that ions in aqueous solution are stabilized by the attractions
    between the ions and the water molecules. Why then do some pairs of ions in solution
    form precipitates?
    A: Certain pairs of ions form precipitates because their attraction is so strong that they
    cannot be surrounded and separated by solvent molecules. That is, the attraction
    between solute particles is greater than the stabilization offered by interaction of
    individual ions with solvent molecules. These precipitates are insoluble ionic solids.
