___ 25. How many grams of NaOH is in 20 mL of a 3 M solution? (1) 2400; (2) 240; (3) 2.4; (4) 0.24; (5) 6 G. ___ 26. Professor Erbie Terbium dissolved 10 G of Co(NO3 )2 in 500 mL of ethanol (C2 H5OH). After the cobalt (II) nitrate had dissolved, he diluted the solution with additional ethanol until the volume was exactly 1 L. What was the concentration of the solution? (1) 2 M; (2) 0.055 M; (3) 0.11; (4) 0.5; (5) 1.0; (1,2) 20 ___ 27. pH was originally defined by Sorensen as the negative log of the hydronium ion concentration. Two years later he discovered that this definition was not entirely correct and redefined pH. His new definition stated that pH was (1) -log of the hydroxide ion concentration; (2) -log of the sodium ion concentration; (3) -log of the concentration of water; (4) +log of the hydronium ion concentration; (5) + log of the hydroxide ion concentration; (1,2) -log of the activity of the hydronium ion concentration. ___ 28. What approximate volume of a 0.1 M solution of sulfuric acid would be needed to obtain 1 gram of sulfuric acid? (1) 25 mL; (2) 50 mL; (3) 75 mL; (4) 100 mL; (5) 125 mL; (6) 150 mL. ___ 29.

Which of the responses in question 29 above is the correct formula for acetic acid? For question 31 you must select two answers, unless you pick answer number 5. ___ 31. A dilute, weak solution is one that (1) is not ionized extensively; (2) is ionized extensively; (3) contains only a small amount of solute; (4) contains a large amount of solute; (5) no two of the above describe this solution. ___ 32. An electron pair donor would be an example of (1) a Lewis acid; (2) an Arrhenius acid; (3) a Lewis base; (4) an Arrhenius base; (5) a Bronsted acid; (1,2) a Bronsted base; (1,3) a Usanovich acid; (1,4) a Usanovich base ___ 33.
