PROBLEMS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18 DURING

LECTURE
1. A 45.7 mL solution of 0.500 M sulfuric acid is required to react completely with a
20.0 mL sample of the sodium hydroxide solution. What is the molar concentration
of the sodium hydroxide solution?
















































2. A fuel mixture used in the early days of rocketry is composed of two liquids, dinitrogen
tetrahydride and dinitrogen tetraoxide, which ignite on contact to form nitrogen gas and
water vapor.







a) If 1.50 10
2
g of dinitrogen tetrahydride and 2.00 10
2
g of dinitrogen tetraoxide are
mixed, which is the limiting reactant?










b) What is the theoretical yield (in grams) of nitrogen that can be produced?


c) If 155 g of nitrogen are actually obtained from the reaction, what is the percent yield?









d) What is the amount of excess reactant remaining after the reaction?











3. Write the net ionic equation the reaction between lead(II) nitrate and potassium sulfate?
































4. If 31.0 mL of silver(I) nitrate solution reacts with excess potassium chloride solution to yield
0.595 g of precipitate, what is the molarity of silver ion in the original solution?

6. A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury. If each mercury atom
in the lamp were to emit a single photon of wavelength 254 nm, how many joules of
energy would be emitted?
























7. Use the Rydberg equation to calculate the frequency of a photon absorbed when the
hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from n = 2 to 4. (R = 1.10 10
