Show Answer Key

1. 2 mol

2. $4\text{Al} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$

3. 4 mol C → 4 mol CO₂ → 176 g

4. $-\log(5 \times 10^{-6}) = 5.3$

5. $10^{-11}$ M

6. $10^4 = 10{,}000$ times

7. 3 half-lives → $640/8 = 80$ g

8. $0.0625 = (1/2)^4$ → 4 half-lives

9. $\ln 2/20 \approx 0.0347$ per min

10. $K = \frac{[\text{SO}_3]^2}{[\text{SO}_2]^2[\text{O}_2]}$

11. $14 - 4.5 = 9.5$

12. $0.5 \times 58.44 = 29.22$ g

13. $1000(0.5)^3 = 125$

14. $x/(2-x) = 4$ → $x = 8/5 = 1.6$ M

15. $\text{C}_3\text{H}_8 + 5\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 3\text{CO}_2 + 4\text{H}_2\text{O}$

16. pH = 0

17. $(1/2)^5 = 0.03125$ → 5 half-lives

18. Reactants

19. $1.25/10 = 1/8 = (1/2)^3$ → 3 half-lives

20. Yes
