A steady current of 1.00 ampere is passed through an electrolytic cell containing a 1-molar
solution of AgNO3 and having a silver anode and a platinum cathode until 1.54 grams of silver is
deposited.
(a) How long does the current flow to obtain this deposit?
(b) What weight of chromium would be deposited in a second cell containing 1-molar
chromium(III) nitrate and having a chromium anode and a platinum cathode by the same current
in the same time as was used in the silver cell?
(c) If both electrodes were platinum in this second cell, what volume of O2 gas measured at
standard temperature and pressure would be released at the anode while the chromium is being
deposited at the cathode? The current and the time are the same as in (b).

4-12) Use apppropriate ionic and molecular formulas to show the reactants and the products for
the following, each of which results in a reaction occurring in a aqueous solution except as
indicated. Omit formulas for any ionic or molecular species that do not take part in the reaction.
You need not balance. In all cases a reaction occurs.

5) Water is added to a sample of pure phosphorus tribromide.
6) Hydrogen peroxide is added to an acidified solution of potassium dichromate.
7) Calcium metal is added to a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.
8) A solution of sulfuric acid is added to a solution of barium hydroxide until the same number
of moles of each compound has been added.
9) Excess dilute nitric acid is added to a solution containing the tetramminecadmium(II) ion.
10) Sulfur dioxide gas is bubbled through an acidified solution of potassium permanganate.
11) Pellets of aluminum metal are added to a solution containing an excess of sodium hydroxide.

the same number of moles of each compound has been added.
13)
The boiling points of the following compounds increase in the order in which they are listed
below:
CH4 < H2S < NH3
Discuss the theoretical considerations involved and use them to account for this order.
14)
The possible structures for the compound dinitrogen oxide are NNO and NON. By experiment it
has been found that the molecule of dinitrogen oxide has a non-zero dipole moment and that ions
of mass 44, 30, 28, 16, and 14 are obtained in the mass spectrometer. Which of the structures is
supported by these data? Show how the data are consistent with this structure.
15)
The heat liberated when 1.00 mole of acetic acid, HC2H3O2, reacts with 1.00 mole of sodium
hydroxide, NaOH, is 53.1 kilojoules. Describe how this value can be determined in a general
chemistry laboratory.
16)
Briefly discuss the following statement:
"The functional group concept is important in organizing the information of organic chemistry."
Support your discussion by giving two chemical equations to illlustrate the application of this
concept for each of two functional groups.
17)
A measure of the rate of a reaction is its half-life. One method of determining the half-life of a
first order reaction is to plot certain appropriate data. Sketch a graph that illustrates the
application of such a method. Label each axis with its name and appropriate units, and show how
the half-life can be obtained from the graph.
18)
Two beakers, one containing 100 milliliters of a 0.10-molal solution of sucrose (a nonvolatile
nonelectrolyte) and the other containing 100 milliliters of pure water, are placed side by side in a
closed system, such as under a bell jar. Explain in terms of the principles involved what changes,
if any, occur to bring the system to equilibrium.
