Unit10 Nomenclature of Hydrocarbons碳氢化合物的命名Alkanes烷烃理想的,每一种化合物都应该由一个明确描述它的结构的名称,并且通过这一名称能够画出它的结构式。
为了这一目的,全世界的化学家接受了世界纯粹与应用化学会(IUPAC)建立的一系列规则。
这个系统就是IUPAC系统,或称为日内瓦系统,因为IUPAC的第一次会议是在瑞士日内瓦召开的。
不含支链的烷烃的IUPAC命名包括两部分(1)表明链中碳原子数目的前缀;(2)后缀-ane,表明化合物是烷烃。
用于表示1至20个碳原子的前缀见表10.1表10.1中前4个前缀是由IUPAC选择的,因为它们早已在有机化学中确定了。
实际上,它们甚至早在它们成为规则之下的结构理论的暗示之前,它们的地位就确定了。
例如,在丁酸中出现的前缀but-,一种表示在白脱脂中存在的四个碳原子的化合物(拉丁语butyrum白脱(黄油))。
表示5个或更多碳原子的词根来源于希腊或拉丁词根。
含取代基的烷烃的IUPAC名称由母体名称和取代基名称组成,母体名称代表化合物的最长碳链,取代基名称代表连接在主链上的基团。
来源于烷烃的取代基称为烷基。
字母R-被广泛用来表示烷烃的存在.烷烃的命名是去掉原烷基名称中的-ane加上后缀-yl。
例如,烷基CH3CH2-称为乙基。
CH3-CH3乙烷(原碳氢化合物)CH3CH2-乙基(一个烷基)下面是IUPAC的烷烃命名规则:1. 饱和碳氢化合物称为烷烃。
2. 对有支链的碳氢化合物,最长的碳链作为主链,IUPAC命名按此主链命名。
3. 连接在主链上的基团称为取代基。
每一取代基有一名称和一数字.这一数字表示取代基连接在主链上的碳原子的位置。
4. 如果有多于一个的相同取代基,要给出表示支链位置的每个数字。
而且,表示支链数目的数字由前缀di-,tri-,tetra-,penta-等表示。
5. 如果有一个取代基,主链碳原子编号从靠近支链的一端开始,使支链位号最小。
剑桥雅思阅读5test2翻译及答案剑桥雅思阅读5原文(test2)1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.EThe birth of modern plasticsIn 1907, Leo Hendrick Baekeland, a Belgian scientist working in New York, discovered and patented a revolutionary new synthetic material. His invention, which he named ‘Bakelite,’ was of enormous technological importance, and effectively launched the modernplastics industry.The term ‘plastic’ comes from the Greek plassein, meaning ‘to mould’. Some plastics are derived from natural sources, some are semi-synthetic (the result of chemical action on a natural substance), and some are entirely synthetic, that is, chemically engineered from the constituents of coal or oil. Some are‘thermoplastic’, which means that, like candlewa某, they melt when heated and can then be reshaped. Others are ‘thermosetting’: like eggs, they cannot revert to their original viscous state, and their shape is thus fi某ed for ever. Bakelite had the distinction of being the first totally synthetic thermosetting plastic.The history of today’s plastics begins with the discovery of a series of semi-synthetic thermoplastic materials in the mid-nineteenth century. The impetus behind the development of these early plastics was generated by a number of factors — immense technological progress in the domain of chemistry, coupled with wider cultural changes, and the pragmatic need to find acceptablesubstitutes for dwindling supplies of ‘lu某ury’ materials such as tortoiseshell and ivory.Baekeland’s interest in plastics began in 1885 when, as a young chemistry student in Belgium, he embarked on research into phenolic resins, the group of sticky substances produced when phenol (carbolic acid) combines with an aldehyde (a volatile fluid similar to alcohol). He soon abandoned the subject, however, only returning toit some years later. By 1905 he was a wealthy New Yorker, having recently made his fortune with the invention of a new photographic paper. While Baekeland had been busily amassing dollars, some advances had been made in the development of plastics. The years 1899 and 1900 had seen the patenting of the first semi-synthetic thermosetting material that could be manufactured on an industrial scale. In purely scientific terms, Baekeland’s major contribution to the field is not so much the actual discovery of the material to which he gave his name, but rather the method by which a reaction between phenol and formaldehyde could be controlled, thus making possible its preparation on a commercial basis. On 13 July 1907, Baekeland took out his famous patent describing this preparation, the essential features of which are still in use today.The original patent outlined a three-stage process, in which phenol and formaldehyde (from wood or coal) were initially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped kettle. The result was a resin known as Novalak which became soluble and malleable when heated. The resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened, and then broken up and ground into powder. Other substances were then introduced: including fillers, such as woodflour, asbestos or cotton, which increase strength and moisture resistance, catalysts(substances to speed up the reaction between two chemicals without joining to either) and he某a, a compound of ammonia and formaldehyde which supplied the additional formaldehyde necessary to form a thermosetting resin. This resin was then left to cool and harden, and ground up a second time. The resulting granular powder was raw Bakelite, ready to be made into a vast range of manufactured objects. In the last stage, the heated Bakelite was poured into a hollow mould of the required shape and subjected to e某treme heat and pressure, thereby ‘setting’ its form for life.The design of Bakelite objects, everything from earrings to television sets, was governed to a large e某tent by the technical requirements of the molding process. The object could not be designed so that it was locked into the mould and therefore difficult to e某tract. A common general rule was that objects should taper towards the deepest part of the mould, and if necessary the product was molded in separate pieces. Moulds had to be carefully designed sothat the molten Bakelite would flow evenly and completely into the mould. Sharp corners proved impractical and were thus avoided, giving rise to the smooth, ‘streamlined’ style pop ular in the 1930s. The thickness of the walls of the mould was also crucial: thick walls took longer to cool and harden, a factor which had to be considered by the designer in order to make the most efficient use of machines.Baekeland’s invention, al though treated with disdain in its early years, went on to enjoy an unparalleled popularity which lasted throughout the first half of the twentieth century. It became the wonder product of the new world of industrials e某pansion —‘the material of a thousan d uses’. Being both non-porous and heat-resistant, Bakelite kitchen goods were promoted as being germ-freeand sterilisable. Electrical manufacturers seized on its insulating properties, and consumers everywhere relished its dazzling array of shades, delighted that they were now, at last, no longer restricted to the wood tones and drab browns of the preplastic era. It then fell from favour again during the 1950s, and was despised and destroyed in vast quantities. Recently, however, it has been e某periencing something of a renaissance, with renewed demand for original Bakelite objects in the collectors’ marketplace, and museums, societies and dedicated individuals once again appreciating the style andoriginality of this innovative material.Questions 1-3Complete the summary.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in bo某es 1-3 on your answer sheet.Some plastics behave in a similar way to 1……… in that they melt under heat and can be moulded into new forms.

The left.’ No, not funny. Try again. ‘Which side of a dog has the most hair? The outside.’ Hah! T he punchline is silly yet fitting, tempting a smile, even a laugh. Laughter has always struck people as deeply mysterious, perhaps pointless. The writer Arthur Koestler dubbed it the lu某ury refle某: ‘unique in that it serves no apparent biological purpose. ’Theories about humour have an ancient pedigree. Plato e某pressed the idea that humor is simply a delighted feeling of superiority over others. Kant and Freud felt that joke-telling relies on building up a psychic tension which is safely punctured by the ludicrousness of the punchline. But most modern humor theorists have settled on some version of Aristotle’s belief that jokes are based on a reaction to or resolution of incongruity, when the punchline is either a nonsense or, though appearing silly, has a clever second meaning.Graeme Ritchie, a computational linguist in Edinburgh, studies the linguistic structure of jokes in order to understand not only humor but language understanding and reasoning in machines. He says that while there is no single format for jokes, many revolve around a sudden and surprising conceptual shift. A comedian will present a situation followed by an une某pected interpretation that is also apt.So even if a punchline sounds silly, the listener can see thereis a cle ver semantic fit and that sudden mental ‘Aha!’ is the buzz that makes us laugh. Viewed from this angle, humor is just a form of creative insight, a sudden leap to a new perspective.However, there is another type of laughter, the laughter ofsocial appeasement and it is important to understand this too. Playis a crucial part of development in most young mammals. Rats produce ultrasonic squeaks to prevent their scuffles turning nasty. Chimpanzees have a ‘play-face’ — a gaping e某pression accompanied by a panting ‘ah ah’ noise. In humans, these signals have mutated into smiles and laughs. Researchers believe social situations, rather than cognitive events such as jokes, trigger these instinctual markers of play or appeasement. People laugh on fairground rides or when tickled to flag a play situation, whether they feel amused or not.Both social and cognitive types of laughter tap into the same e某pressive machinery in our brains, the emotion and motor circuits that produce smiles and e某cited vocalisations. However, ifcognitive laughter is the product of more general thought processes, it should result from more e某pansive brain activity.Psychologist Vinod Goel investigated humour using the new technique of ‘single event’ functional magnetic resona nce imaging (fMRI). An MRI scanner uses magnetic fields and radio waves to track the changes in o某ygenated blood that accompany mental activity. Until recently, MRI scanners needed several minutes of activity and so could not be used to track rapid thought processes such as comprehending a joke. New developments now allow half-second‘snapshots’ of all sorts of reasoning and problem-solving activities.Although Goel felt being inside a brain scanner was hardly the ideal place for appreciating a joke, he found evidence that understanding a joke involves a widespread mental shift. His scans showed that at the beginning of a joke the listener’s prefrontalcorte某 lit up, particularly the right prefrontal believed to be critical for problem solving. But there was also activity in the temporal lobes at the side of the head (consistent with attempts to rouse stored knowledge) and in many other brain areas. Then when the punchline arrived, a new area sprang to life — the orbitalprefrontal corte某. This patch of brain tucked behind the orbits of the eyes is associated with evaluating information.Making a rapid emotional assessment of the events of the momentis an e某tremely demanding job for the brain, animal or human. Energy and arousal levels may need to be retuned in the blink of an eye. These abrupt changes will produce either positive or negative feelings. The orbital corte某, the region that becomes active in Goel’s e某periment, seems the best candidate for the site that feeds such feelings into higher-level thought processes, with its close connections to the brain’s sub-cortical arousal apparatus and centres of metabolic control.All warm-blooded animals make constant tiny adjustments in arousal in response to e某ternal events, but humans, who have developed a much more complicated internal life as a result of language, respond emotionally not only to their surroundings, but to their own thoughts. Whenever a sought-for answer snaps into place, there is a shudder of pleased recognition. Creative discovery being pleasurable, humans have learned to find ways of milking this natural response. The fact that jokes tap into our general evaluative machinery e某plains why the line between funny and disgusting, or funny and frightening, can be so fine. Whether a joke gives pleasure or pain depends on a person’s outlook.Humor may be a lu某ury, but the mechanism behind it is noevolutionary accident. As Peter Derks, a psychologist at William and Mary College in Virginia, says: ‘I like to think of humour as the distorted mirror of the mind. It’s creative, perceptual, analytical and lingual. If we can figure out how the mind processes humor, then we’ll have a pretty good handle on how it works in general.’Questions 14-20Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?In bo某es 14-20 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this14 Arthur Koestler considered laughter biologically important in several ways.15 Plato believed humour to be a sign of above-average intelligence.16 Kant believed that a successful joke involves the controlled release of nervous energy.17 Current thinking on humour has largely ignored Aristotle’s view on the subject.18 Graeme Ritchie’s work links jokes to artificial intelligence.19 Most comedians use personal situations as a source of humour.20 Chimpanzees make particular noises when they are playing.Questions 21-23The diagram below shows the areas of the brain activated by jokes.Label the diagram.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in bo某es 21-23 on your answer sheet.Questions 24-27Complete each sentence with the correct ending A-G below.Write the correct letter A-G in bo某es 24-27 on your answer sheet.24 One of the brain’s most difficult tasks is to25 Because of the language they have developed, humans26 Individual responses to humour27 Peter Derks believes that humourA react to their own thoughts.B helped create language in humans.C respond instantly to whatever is happening.D may provide valuable information about the operation of the brain.E cope with difficult situations.F relate to a person’s subjective views.G led our ancestors to smile and then laugh.3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 28-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.The Birth of Scientific EnglishWorld science is dominated today by a small number of languages, including Japanese, German and French, but it is English which is probably the most popular global language of science. This is notjust because of the importance of English-speaking countries such as the USA in scientific research; the scientists of many non-English-speaking countries find that they need to write their research papers in English to reach a wide international audience. Given theprominence of scientific English today, it may seem surprising that no one really knew how to write science in English before the 17th century. Before that, Latin was regarded as the lingua franca1 for European intellectuals.The European Renaissance (c. 14th-16th century) is sometimes called the ‘revival of learning’, a time of renewed interest in the ‘lost knowledge’ of classical times. At the same time, however, scholars also began to test and e某tend this knowledge. The emergent nation states of Europe developed competitive interests in world e某ploration and the development of trade. Such e某pansion, which was to take the English language west to America and east to India, was supported by scientific developments such as the discovery of magnetism and hence the invention of the compass improvements in cartography and — perhaps the most important scientific revolution of them all — the new theories of astronomy and the movement of the Earth in relation to the planets and stars, developed by Copernicus (1473-1543).England was one of the first countries where scientists adopted and publicised Copernican ideas with enthusiasm. Some of these scholars, including two with interests in language — John Wallis and John Wilkins — helped found the Royal Society in 1660 in order to promote empirical scientific research.Across Europe similar academies and societies arose, creating new national traditions of science. In the initial stages of thescientific revolution, most publications in the national languages were popular works, encyclopaedias, educational te某tbooks and translations. Original science was not done in English until the second half of the 17th century. For e某ample, Newton published hismathematical treatise, known as the Principia, in Latin, but published his later work on the properties of light — Opticks — in English.There were several reasons why original science continued to be written in Latin. The first was simply a matter of audience. Latin was suitable for an international audience of scholars, whereas English reached a socially wider, but more local, audience. Hence, popular science was written in English.A second reason for writing in Latin may, perversely, have been a concern for secrecy. Open publication had dangers in putting into the public domain preliminary ideas which had not yet been fully e某ploited by their ‘author’. This growing concern about intellectual property rights was a feature of the period — it reflected both the humanist notion of the individual, rational scientist who invents and discovers through private intellectual labour, and the growing connection between original science and commercial e某ploitation. There was something of a social distinction b etween ‘scholars and gentlemen’ who understood Latin, and men of trade who lacked a classical education. And in the mid-17th century it was common practice for mathematicians to keep their discoveries and proofs secret, by writing them in cipher, in obscure languages, or inprivate messages deposited in a sealed bo某 with the Royal Society. Some scientists might have felt more comfortable with Latin precisely because its audience, though international, was socially restricted. Doctors clung the most keenly t o Latin as an ‘insider language’.A third reason why the writing of original science in English was delayed may have been to do with the linguistic inadequacy of English in the early modern period. English was not well equipped to dealwith scientific argument. First it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Second, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world in an objective and impersonal way, and to discuss the relations, such as cause and effect, that might hold between comple某 and hypothetical entities.Fortunately, several members of the Royal Society possessed an interest in Language and became engaged in various linguistic projects. Although a proposal in 1664 to establish a committee for improving the English lan guage came to little, the society’s members did a great deal to foster the publication of science in English and to encourage the development of a suitable writing style. Many members of the Royal Society also published monographs in English. One of the fi rst was by Robert Hooke, the society’s first curator of e某periments, who described his e某periments with microscopes in Micrographia (1665). This work is largely narrative in style, based on a transcript of oral demonstrations and lectures.In 1665 a new scientific journal, Philosophical Transactions, was inaugurated. Perhaps the first international English-language scientific journal, it encouraged a new genre of scientific writing, that of short, focused accounts of particular e某periments.The 17th century was thus a formative period in the establishment of scientific English. In the following century much of this momentum was lost as German established itself as the leading European language of science. It is estimated that by the end of the 18th century 401 German scientific journals had been established as opposed to 96 in France and 50 in England. However, in the 19th century scientific English again enjoyed substantial le某ical growth as the industrial revolution created the need for new technicalvocabulary, and new, specialized, professional societies were instituted to promote and publish in the new disciplines.lingua franca: a language which is used for communication between groups of people who speak different languagesQuestions 28-34Complete the summary.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.

认知诊断中的Q 矩阵简述江西师范大学心理学院 邱瑾摘要:作为新一代的心理测量理论,在教育测量领域认知诊断受到越来越多的青睐。
它不仅能在细粒度的层面上,评估个体在学科能力上的知识掌握状态,而且可以根据评估结果,给教师提供个体接下来的发展学习的道路。
在运用认知诊断理论作认知诊断评估的过程中,Q矩阵起着至关重要的作用。
关键词:认知诊断;Q矩阵;知识状态中图出版号:B842.1文献标识码:A文章编号:2096-4595(2020)28-0261-0001认知诊断是一项通过评估被试者的认知技能或特定知识(属性)集合的掌握情况的技术。
正如Tasuka 所说,它至少包含“Q 矩阵理论”和“诊断分类”两大部分。
在目前的认知诊断的领域中,有相当多的研究正把热点集中于Q 矩阵的修正和估计研究上。
这一研究热点不仅仅只存在于Q 矩阵修正方法开发研究、Q 矩阵估计方法开发研究,国内同样还存在着对Q 矩阵相关研究的综述上。
例如,王晓军,丁树良和罗芬(2019)作了Q 矩阵的综述,存在层级属性关系的Q 矩阵的算法、作用,刘永和涂冬波(2015)讨论的是根据被试反应估计Q 矩阵的6种方法。
一、认知诊断的目的在认知诊断的过程中,Q 矩阵是必不可少的一部分。
在认识Q 矩阵的概念和作用之前,我们应该了解认知诊断的目的。
Leighton 和Gierl(2007)指出,认知诊断致力于评估受测者的特定知识结构和加工技能的掌握情况,它是基于个人的认知过程上的诊断。
在认知过程中加工技能也可称之为属性,认知诊断评估最后会给出受测者在多个属性上的属性掌握状态用以表示被试的知识状态。
关键的问题是,如何通过被试作答项目的反应来判断被试的属性掌握状态?重点在于Q 矩阵的建立。
Q 矩阵理论主要是确定测验项目所测的间接观察的认知属性,并把它转化为可直接监测的理想反应模式,将被试在“黑箱子”里的认知状态与在项目上直观的作答反应联系起来,进而为了解并推测被试的认知状态提供基础。
basic solution化学英文回答:What is a basic solution?A basic solution is a solution that has a pH greater than 7.0. This means that the solution contains more hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+). Basic solutions are also known as alkaline solutions.What are the properties of basic solutions?Basic solutions have a number of characteristic properties, including:They are slippery to the touch.They taste bitter.They turn red litmus paper blue.They react with acids to form salts and water.What are the uses of basic solutions?Basic solutions are used in a variety of applications, including:Cleaning agents: Basic solutions are often used as cleaning agents because they can dissolve grease and dirt.Deodorants: Basic solutions can be used as deodorants because they can neutralize acids that cause body odor.Medicines: Basic solutions are used in a number of medicines, such as antacids and cough syrups.How can you make a basic solution?There are a number of ways to make a basic solution, including:Dissolving a base in water: The most common way to make a basic solution is to dissolve a base in water. Some common bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).Mixing an acid and a base: You can also make a basic solution by mixing an acid and a base. When an acid and a base react, they form a salt and water. The salt will be basic if the base is stronger than the acid.Safety precautions.Basic solutions can be harmful if they are not handled properly. It is important to wear gloves and eye protection when working with basic solutions. Basic solutions should also be stored in a safe place away from children and pets.中文回答:什么是碱性溶液?碱性溶液是pH值大于7.0的溶液。

Difficulty: 2Choice (C) is correct. To answer this question, you mustrecognize which of the choices above are acid solutions.Only choices (A) and (C) satisfy this requirement. Choice(B) refers to a neutral salt solution, choice (D) is a solutionof an alcohol, and choice (E) is a basic solution. Choices(A) and (C) are both acidic solutions, but choice (A) is astrong acid that is completely ionized in aqueous solution, whereas choice (C) is only partially ionized in aqueoussolution. Since the concentrations of all the solutions are the same, you do not need to consider this factor. The hydrogen ion concentration of a 0.1 molar acetic acid solution isconsiderably smaller than 0.1 molar. The hydrogen ionconcentration in choice (A) is equal to 0.1 molar. Thus, the correct choice is choice (C), a weakly acidic solution.2. Difficulty: 3Choice (E) is correct. To answer this question, you needto understand the pH scale, which is a measure of thehydrogen ion concentration in solution and is defined aspH = -log [H+]. The higher the pH, the lower the hydrogen ion concentration and the more basic the solution. Among the choices given above, choice (E) is the most basic solution.3. Difficulty: 4Choice (A) is correct. To answer this question, you needto know that acids react with bases to form salts andwater. Since the question refers to equal volumes of eachsolution, assume 1 liter of each solution is available.Barium hydroxide solution is a strong base (i.e., it iscompletely ionized in water), and 1 liter of 0.05 M Ba(OH)2 provides 0.1 mole of OH- ions in solution. When 1 liter of this solution is added to 1 liter of either 0.1 M NaCl,0.1 M CH3OH or 0.1 M KOH, no reactions occur and theresulting solutions remain basic; that is, the pH will begreater than 7 in each case. When 0.1 mole of OH- ionsreacts with 0.1 mole of acetic acid, the resulting solutionwill also be basic and have a pH greater than 7 becauseacetic acid is a weak acid (i.e., it is incompletely ionized inwater). The acetic acid reacts with the OH- ions as follows: HC2H3O2 + OH- C2H3O2- + H2OThe acetate ion produced is a strong base, which hydrolyzes in water to yield a solution containing more OH- ions than H+ ions. When 1 liter of 0.05 M Ba(OH)2 reacts with1 liter of 0.1 M HCl, there is a reaction between 0.1 mole ofOH- ions and 0.1 mole of H+ to form 0.1 mole of H2O. The resulting solution contains Ba2+ ions and Cl- ions and equal concentrations of OH- and H+ ions. The solution formed is neutral, and the pH is 7; therefore choice (A) is the correct answer.4. Difficulty: 3Choice (A) is correct. The chemical formula of sodiumacetate is NaC2H3O2. The sodium ion is Na+, and theacetate ion is C2H3O2-. The Na+ ion has the form X+.5. Difficulty: 1Choice (C) is correct. The chemical formula of aluminumoxide is Al2O3. The aluminum ion is Al3+, and the oxide ion is O2-. The Al3+ ion has the form X3+.6. Difficulty: 2Choice (A) is correct. The chemical formula of potassiumphosphate is K3PO4. The potassium ion is K+, and thephosphate ion is PO43-. The K+ ion has the form X+, andthe phosphate ion has the form XO43- ; therefore the correct answer is choice (A).7. Difficulty: 3Choice (C) is correct. The highest principal quantum number in this electron configuration is 3 (valence electrons 3s2 3p4), so the element is in the third period of the periodic table. The atom has two s and four p valence electrons, so it is in theoxygen group. The atom is therefore an atom of sulfur.8. Difficulty: 3Choice (A) is correct. The Ca2+ ion is a Ca atom that haslost two electrons. Ca has an atomic number of 20 and has20 electrons, so Ca2+ must have 18 electrons. The neutralatom with 18 electrons (and 18 protons) is Ar. Note thatAr is two elements before Ca in the periodic table.9. Difficulty: 2Choice (E) is correct. The element with the lowest atomicnumber that has any electrons in an f orbital is cerium(atomic number 58), which has the electron configuration[Xe] 4f 1 5d1 6s2. All elements with an atomic numberequal to or greater than 58 have ground-state atoms withelectrons in f orbitals. Uranium has an atomic number of92; therefore, the correct answer is (E).10. Difficulty: 2Choice (A) is correct. Argon is a noble gas, and noble gases are relatively unreactive.101. Difficulty: 3Both statements are true, and statement II gives the reason that statement I is correct. The correct answer is therefore true, true, correct explanation.102. Difficulty: 3It is true that diamond melts at a very high temperature(over 3,500°C). Substances with ionic bonding do have high melting points, but the bonding in diamond is network covalent, not ionic. (Note that unless both statements aretrue, it is not necessary to determine whether the secondstatement is a correct explanation of the first statement.) 103. Difficulty: 3Ionization energy depends on effective nuclear chargeand the distance of the electron from the nucleus. Outerelectrons are partially shielded from the nucleus by innerelectrons, so the effective nuclear charge is about the same for atoms of elements in the same group of the periodictable. Potassium (K) and lithium (Li) are in the samegroup of the periodic table, but the lithium atom has fewer occupied shells and a smaller atomic radius. The outermost electron in Li is in a shell that is close to the nucleus, and the outermost electron in K is in a shell that is relatively far from the nucleus. Therefore, there is less attraction between the outermost electron in a K atom and its nucleus thanbetween the outermost electron in a Li atom and its nucleus, and it is easier to remove an electron from a K atom, resulting in a lower first ionization energy for K than for Li.It is true that K (atomic number 19) has more protons inits nucleus than does Li (atomic number 3), but this is notthe reason for the relative ionization energies. (Note, forexample, that Ca has more protons in its nucleus than does K, but Ca has a higher first ionization energy than does K.) The correct answer is true, true, not a correct explanation. 104. Difficulty: 4In the activity series, Zn is relatively easy to oxidize to Zn2+, while Cu is relatively inactive. Therefore, if Zn metal were placed in a solution containing Cu2+ ions, Zn would beoxidized to Zn2+ ions, and Cu2+ would be reduced to Cumetal. Both statements are true, and statement II gives the reason that statement I is correct. The correct answer istherefore true, true, correct explanation.105. Difficulty: 5When a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the systemwill shift in a way that partially offsets the effect of thedisturbance (LeChatelier’s principle). Thus, when HC2H3O2 is added to the equilibrium mixture, the equilibriumwill shift to the right. This increases the concentration ofC2H3O2- and H3O+. Statement I is therefore false. Changes in the concentrations of reactants and products do not affect thevalue of the equilibrium constant; if the temperature does not change, the value of the equilibrium constantdoes not change. Statement II is therefore false. The correct answer is false, false.11. Difficulty: 3Choice (C) is correct. This is a question that concernsthe concentration of a diluted solution. One way to solvethe problem is through the use of ratios. In this question,a solution of nitric acid is diluted 10-fold; therefore, theconcentration of the solution will decrease by a factor of 10, that is, from 0.100 molar to 0.010 molar. Alternatively, you could calculate the number of moles of H+ ions present and divide this value by 0.50 liter: (0.100 × 0.050)/0.5 = M of the diluted solution.12. Difficulty: 2Choice (D) is correct. This question pertains to thebalancing of chemical equations. To answer this questioncorrectly, you need to recognize that both mass and charge must be conserved in any chemical equation. With this in mind, the chemical equation is correctly written as2 Cu2+(aq) + 4 I-(aq) → 2 CuI(s) + I2(s)The coefficient for I-(aq) is 4.13. Difficulty: 4Choice (C) is correct. This is a laboratory-orientedquestion pertaining to the measurement of gas pressures. It demands higher-level analytical skills that involve drawing conclusions from results obtained in an experiment. To answer this question correctly, you must first understandthat, in an open type of manometer, the air exerts pressure on the column of liquid in the open side of the U-tube, andthe gas being studied exerts pressure on the other side of the U-tube. It is clear, then, that statement I is true sincethe data given show that the manometer is open-ended,and its right side is exposed to the atmosphere. Statement II is also true because the level of liquid mercury is higherin the right side, which is exposed to the atmosphere, than in the left side, which is exposed to the gas. Thus the gaspressure is greater than atmospheric pressure. StatementIII is not correct because the pressure of the gas in thebulb, expressed in millimeters of mercury, is equal to thedifference in height, h, of the two mercury levels, plus theatmospheric pressure. Thus only statements I and II aretrue, and the correct answer is choice (C).14. Difficulty: 3Choice (B) is correct. This is a question on states ofmatter. Y ou must convert the description of the physicalphenomenon given in the question to graphical form.When a liquid is cooled slowly, its temperature will decrease with time. Thus the first portion of a graph depicting this phenomenon must show a decrease when temperature isplotted against time. When a pure liquid substance reaches its fusion (melting) point, continued cooling will release heat with time as the substance solidifies. During thisperiod, there is no drop in temperature. After the substance has completely solidified, further cooling will cause an additional drop in temperature. The only graph shown that accurately depicts the events described is choice (B), which is the correct answer.15. Difficulty: 3Choice (A) is correct. This is a question on chemicalbonding that requires you to apply the principles ofmolecular bonding. Each of the molecules given is correctly paired with the term describing its molecular geometry except choice (A). The geometry of PF3 is not trigonalplanar but trigonal pyramidal because this geometrycorresponds to a maximum possible separation of theelectron pairs around the central atom, phosphorus, andtherefore yields the most stable configuration; the centralatom of the molecule is surrounded by the three singlebonds and one unshared electron pair. Thus, the correctanswer is choice (A). Note that this is the type of questionthat asks you to identify the one solution to the problemthat is inappropriate.16. Difficulty: 2Choice (C) is correct. This question tests your ability tobalance chemical equations. The stoichiometry of thecorrectly balanced equation indicates that 2 moles of SO2(g) are needed to react completely with 1 mole of O2(g) to form2 moles of SO3.17. Difficulty: 3Choice (B) is correct. This is a question on stoichiometrythat tests the important skill of scientific reasoning basedon experimental evidence. The question indicates that 100 percent of the composition of the compound analyzed can be accounted for with the elements hydrogen and carbon.Thus, this compound is a hydrocarbon and choice (A)is a correct statement. It is not the correct answer to thequestion, however, because you can deduce more specific conclusions about this compound from the informationgiven. The relative percentage composition providesevidence that the atomic ratio of carbon to hydrogenin the compound must be 86/12 : 14/1.0, or about 1 : 2.Therefore, you can conclude that the empirical formula for the compound is CH2. Thus choice (B) is a better answer than choice (A). Since you do not know the total numberof moles of the compound used for analysis, you cannotcalculate the molar mass or derive the molecular formulafor this compound. Therefore choices (C) and (D) cannotbe determined from the information given and thus are not correct answers to the question. It is known, however, that a substance with an empirical formula of CH2 cannot have a triple bond. Therefore choice (E) is incorrect.18. Difficulty: 2Choice (D) is correct. The molar mass of C3H8 is 44.0 g/mol.According to the equation, four moles of water are formed for each mole of propane combusted. The molar massof water is 18.0 g/mol, so the mass of water formed is18.0 g × 4 = 72.0 g.19. Difficulty: 1Choice (D) is correct. Each mole of KHSO4 contains fourmoles of oxygen atoms, so 0.50 mol of KHSO4 containstwo moles of oxygen atoms. One mole is 6.0 × 1023, and2 (6.0 × 1023) = 12 × 1023 = 1.2 × 1024.20. Difficulty: 3Choice (E) is correct. Air contains mostly N2 (molar mass28 g/mol) and O2 (molar mass 32 g/mol). The molar mass ofcarbon dioxide is 44 g/mol, so carbon dioxide is more dense than air. The other statements are true and are not correct choices.21. Difficulty: 3Choice (D) is correct. Going down a group of the periodictable, atomic radius and atomic mass increase. Becauseeffective nuclear charge is about the same within a groupand radius increases going down a group, ionization energy decreases going down a group.22. Difficulty: 4Choice (E) is correct. In aqueous solution, HI can donate aproton and form I-, NH4+ can donate a proton to form NH3, HCO3- can donate a proton to form CO32-, and H2S can donate a proton to form HS-. NH3 does not donate a proton in aqueous solution to form NH2-; therefore, choice (E) is the correct answer.2011 The College Board.

AQualitative thermodynamics questions can be answered by applying the definitions of the various state functions. This question asks about entropy, which can be defined as the energetic equivalent of randomness, or disorder. The question thus translates into “Which of the following will have an increase in disorder as the reaction proceeds from left to right?” Recall that the general order of increasing entropy goes: solid<liquid<ions in solution<gas. Choice A is thus correct since it shows one mole of a highly ordered, crystalline solid, metallic sodium, and one mole of a somewhat well-ordered, hydrogen-bonding liquid, water, transforming into two moles of aqueous ions, Na + and OH -, and one mole of gas, H 2. The relatively well-ordered reactants are replaced by highly disordered products as the reaction proceeds, and a net increase in disorder, or entropy, is the result. As for the wrong choices, choice B shows the deposition of gaseous iodine. This represents a large decrease in entropy as the random motion of the gas phase molecules is replaced by the highly ordered crystal structure of the solid phase. Choice C shows a reaction between aqueous sulfuric acid and aqueous barium hydroxide; this reaction is simultaneously a precipitation, as the barium ions combine with the sulfate ions to form the ionic solid, barium sulfate, and a neutralization, as the aqueous acid reacts with the aqueous base to form water.Precipitation takes aqueous ions to ionic solid and thus represents a decrease in entropy. Neutralization takes aqueous ions to molecules of liquid and is accompanied by a net decrease in disorder, therefore C is accompanied by a decrease in entropy. Choice D shows the formation of liquid water or, alternatively, the combustion of gaseous hydrogen. By either description, this reaction proceeds with a large decrease in entropy as the mole and a half of mixed gas phase molecules transform into one mole of pure liquid.2. EIn general, a cation is smaller than a neutral atom of the same element since the removal of an electron or electrons to form the cation leaves fewer electrons to shield one another from the attractive force of the nucleus and to repel one another. The remaining electrons on the cation are drawn closer to the nucleus, resulting in a reduction in size. By this same reasoning, it follows that the greater the positive charge, the smaller the ion. Conversely, anions are generally larger than the corresponding neutral atoms due to an increased number of electrons. A size trend is also observed in ions of equal charge: as one moves down a group, or column of the Periodic Table, the atomic and ionic radii increase due to the larger size of the highest occupied orbital. Therefore sodium atoms are smaller than potassium atoms, and Na + ions are smaller than K + ions. If we apply these facts and place the ions into a partial order by size, we have:K + > Na + > Mg 2+ > Al 3+Thus choices A, C, and D can be eliminated, and we must now compare the remaining species, K + and Cl -. When potassium, atomic number 19, gives up an electron to form the cation K +, it is left with 18 electrons and is thus isoelectronic to argon, atomic number 18. Chlorine, atomic number 17, takes on an electron to form Cl -, and thus it likewise becomes isoelectronic to argon. Each species is isoelectronic to the other, and the relative radii will be affected most by the attractive force exerted on the outer electrons by the positive charge of the nucleus. It follows that the more protons the nucleus contains, i.e., the larger the atomic number is, the smaller the ionic radius will be. The final comparison is thus Cl - > K +, verifying choice E as the credited choice.3.EThis question combines some basic stoichiometry with thermodynamic values for a reaction. We are given the ∆H comb per mole of ammonia and the mass of ammonia in grams. Applying dimensional analysis, we must convert the mass of ammonia into moles, then multiply by kcal/mol to find the total number of kcal. Ammonia has a formula weight of 14 + 3(1) = 17 g/mol, therefore: (34 g)/(17 g/mol) = 2 mol (2 mol).(81 kcal/mol) = 162 kcal.Note that it is not necessary to come up with a balanced equation for the combustion reaction to do this problem._________________________________________________________G E N E R A L C H E M I S T R Y S U B J E C T T E S T 2K A P L A N ________________________________________________________________________________________94. CThe percent by mass of an element in a compound is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of that element by the number of atoms of that element in one formula of the compound, then dividing by the total formula weight of the compound and, finally, converting the result to a percentage. In this example there are two atoms of aluminum (atomic weight 27) and three sulfate ions (formula weight = 32 + 4(16) = 96) per formula of aluminum sulfate, so the calculation goes:2(27)/(2(27) + 3(96)) = 54/342.which rounds off and converts to 15.8%. Calculation can, as usual, be avoided by noticing that 54/342 will beapproximately equal to 50/350, or roughly 15%. Choice A is the result of inserting one aluminum atomic weight into the top of the calculation, while choices B, D, and E are the results of other random errors in calculation.5.EThis question simultaneously tests the basic definition of combustion and thermodynamic calculations involving heats of formation, along with a bit of basic organic nomenclature. To calculate thermodynamic values for a reaction or process from given heats of formation, we must set up a correctly balanced equation for the process and then subtract the sum of the heats of formation, ∆H f , of the reactants from the sum of the heats of formation of the products. To do so for this problem, we must first identify ethylene as the C 2H 4(g ) entry in the table and then write a balanced equation for its combustion:C 2H 4(g ) + 3 O 2(g ) ∅ 2 CO 2(g ) + 2 H 2O (l )Adding the values for the ∆H f (products) = 2 ∆H f (CO 2(g )) + 2 ∆H f (H 2O (l )) and subtracting the sum of the ∆H f (reactants) = ∆H f (C 2H 4(g )) + 3 ∆H f (O 2(g )), the result is :∆H comb (C 2H 4(g )) = ∆H f (products) - ∆H f (reactants) =[2 ∆H f (CO 2(g )) + 2 ∆H f (H 2O (l ))]- [∆H f (C 2H 4(g )) + 3 ∆H f (O 2(g )) = 2(-94) + 2(-68.4) -(12.5) -3(0) = -337.3 kcal/mol(Recall that the heat of formation of any standard state element, like O 2(g ) here, is zero.) As for the wrong choices, notice first that choices A and B could have been immediately eliminated sincecombustion, by nature, is exothermic; a correct answer to this question must therefore be negative. Choice D results from using the heat of formation of gaseous water rather than that of the liquid water that should be expected at 25o C, and choice C is the result obtained by adding 12.5 (when it should have been subtracted) in addition to using the value for gaseous rather than liquid water.6.BWe can calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction by setting up the reaction quotient in terms of theconcentrations of the reactants and products, then solving based on the numbers given in the problem. Since we are told that the vessel is at equilibrium the reaction quotient is the equilibrium constant. For the given reaction, the reaction quotient is:Q c = K eq = [NO]2[N 2][O 2]Since the reaction takes place in a 2.0 liter container, we can convert the given numbers of moles into moles per literby dividing each by two, then plug the results into the expression for Q c : [NO] = 8 mol/2 L = 4 mol/L [N 2] = 2 mol/2 L = 1 mol/L [O 2] = 4 mol/2 L = 2 mol/l∴ K eq = [NO]2[N2][O2] =42(1)(2) = 87. AThis question can be answered based on fundamental definitions; the rate-determining step is simply the slowest step in a proposed mechanism. Of the three steps shown, only step I is labeled as 'slow' and must therefore be thebottleneck in the overall process. As such, it must be the rate-determining step.8. CTellurium, Te, is a Group VIA element, found below oxygen and sulfur in the Periodic Table. It should thus have six valence electrons available for bonding. If the central Te atom uses two of its valence electrons to form sigma bonds to the two hydrogens in H2Te, it will still have two pairs of nonbonding electrons remaining. According to VSEPR theory H2Te fits the general formula AB2U2 and will have tetrahedral electronic geometry and angular molecular geometry, with bond angles of 109.5_. VSEPR theory makes the same prediction for H2O and H2S, and similar predictions for other tetrahedral electronic species such as methane and ammonia.(Note: In reality, the bond angles generally vary from those predicted by the theory because of differences in repulsion between bonded and nonbonded electron pairs and because of orientational differences in the orbitals involved in the bonding.)9. AThis question about gas volumes and pressures can best be answered by applying Dalton's law of partial pressures, which states that the pressure exerted by any one gas in a mixture of ideal gases is the same as it would be if the gas were to occupy the same volume alone. If we focus on the nitrogen we can approach this problem as if the volume increases from the initial 300 mL to the combined 500 mL and apply Boyle's law: P1V1 = P2V2 (at constant temperature ). Since an increase in volume will lead to a decrease in pressure, the final pressure must be less than 100 torr. Thus we canautomatically eliminate choices C, D, and E before completing the calculation as follows:P2 = P1V1/V2 = (100 torr)(300 mL)/(500 mL) =3/5(100 torr) = 60 torr.10. CThis question is probably best approached by examining the answer choices in search of the one true statement required. Choice A is false; it appears from the reaction coordinate diagram provided that W and Y are at approximately the same level while U is lower in energy than is X. It will thus take more energy to go from the lower energy state U to the W/Y level than it will to go from the higher X energy level to that of W/Y. In other words, the activation energy forthe reaction U ∅ X is larger than the activation energy for the reaction X ∅ Z. Choice B is essentially equivalent to choice A, since a reaction "occurs more readily" if and only if its activation energy is smaller. Choice C is true. In theforward direction, X ∅ Z has a smaller energy of activation (and is therefore a faster reaction) than does U ∅ X.Meanwhile, the free energy of activation for Z ∅ X, that is, the energy required to go from Z to Y, is larger than the energy required to move from X to W. Therefore, in the reverse direction, the reaction Z ∅ X will be slower than the reaction X ∅ U. Choices D and E are both wrong for two reasons. First, the diagram shown is a free energy diagram (∆G on the vertical axis) rather than an enthalpy diagram (∆H on the vertical axis); as such we cannot directly determinechanges in enthalpy to which the terms exothermic and endothermic apply. What we can determine from a free energy diagram is whether a given reaction is spontaneous or not. Secondly, even if we did attempt to infer that enthalpy and free energy were following parallel trends, the reaction U ∅ X is an uphill move on the diagram and would thus beendothermic (making choice D wrong) while the reaction U ∅ Z results in a net decrease in energy and would thus be exothermic (disqualifying choice E).11. DElectronegativity increases toward the upper right-hand corner of the Periodic Table, with fluorine, F, the most electronegative element and cesium, Cs, the least. Electronegativity is a property of atoms in bonds, i.e., it is actually a molecular property, therefore rare gases like helium, He, which do not form compounds, are not included in theelectronegativity scale. (Heavier elements like francium, Fr, are not included because their half-lives are so short that their compounds can not be isolated.) The question can therefore be translated as "Which of the following is closest to the lower left-hand corner of the Periodic Table?" Choice D, potassium, lies far to the left of the other entries and as such is the least electronegative.12. EIonization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a gas phase atom or ion, and increases toward the upper right-hand corner of the Periodic Table, with helium, He, having the largest such energy requirement of any neutral atom. This question can therefore be reworded as "Which of the following configurations corresponds to the element which is closest to the upper right-hand corner of the Periodic Table?" We can count the total number of electrons and, given that these are atoms rather than ions, thereby translate the answer choices into theircorresponding elemental symbols:A. total number of electrons = atomic number = 11 _ NaB. total number of electrons = atomic number = 47 _ AgC. total number of electrons = atomic number = 53 _ ID. total number of electrons = atomic number = 17 _ ClE. total number of electrons = atomic number = 18 _ ArWe can then see that choice E, argon, lies furthest to the upper right and therefore has the greatest ionization energy.It is not necessary to convert the electron configurations into the atoms which they represent if one notices that choice E is the only one with all its subshells filled and would therefore be the hardest to remove an electron from.13. ATwo species with the same number of electrons are said to be isoelectronic; this question can thus be reworded to read "Which of the following is an isoelectronic pair?" Calcium has atomic number 20. This means that a neutral atom of calcium has twenty protons in its nucleus and twenty electrons around its nucleus. Positive charges result from theremoval of outer electrons, thus to acquire a charge of positive one, calcium would need to lose one electron from its outermost, or 4s, orbital, leaving Ca+ with a total of 19 electrons. Potassium, meanwhile, has atomic number 19 and thus also has 19 electrons as a neutral atom. These two species are then seen to be isoelectronic, verifying choice A as the correct choice. The species in each of the other choices do not have the same number of electrons; H+ has no electrons while He has two, Cl has 17 while F has 9, and O- has 9 electrons while S+ has 15. These choices, along with choice E, can thus be eliminated.14. CIonization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from a given species. Ionization energy is usually expressed in energy per particle (as it is here) or in energy per mole, and energy, in turn, is usuallyexpressed in electron volts (eV), joules, or kilojoules. The first ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom of that element, while the second ionization energy is the energy required toremove a second electron, i.e., to remove an electron from the +1 cation. A particularly useful piece of logic/knowledgehere is that it will be more difficult to remove an electron from a positively-charged species than it will be to remove an electron from a neutral version of the same species. In other words, the second ionization energy of an element is always greater than its first ionization energy. Based on this fact alone, choices A, D, and E can be eliminated. To choosebetween the remaining two choices, we must reason out that a small value for ionization energy corresponds to relative ease of removal of the electron. A Group IA metal atom will lose its first electron with relative ease, but after that it will possess an electronic configuration similar to that of a noble gas. It will therefore be difficult to remove another electron, implying a high second ionization energy. Looking at the numbers in the table, we see that both remaining choices have relatively small values for first ionization energy, but that X has a much higher second ionization energy. It follows that element V is most likely a Group IIA element (e.g., Mg, Ca) while element X is most likely a member of Group IA (e.g., Na, K). Choice C, as indicated above, is thus the best choice.15. BAccording to the balanced equation, the complete reaction of two moles of HCl should result in the formation of one mole of CO2. We are given that 36 grams, or one mole, of HCl reacts; there should thus be half a mole of CO2 formed.Assuming that the gas formed behaves ideally, and recalling that one mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP, this half a mole of CO2 should occupy a volume of 11.2 liters as stated in choice B.16. DReading from left to right across the Periodic Table, metallic character decreases as electronegativity increases. The most reactive combinations of elements are those with the greatest differences in electronegativity, and this difference can be most easily predicted by observing the distance between the elements on the Periodic Table. This question can thus be translated to read: "Which of the following lies furthest from F on the Periodic Table?" Lithium, in Group IA, is therefore the correct answer. Titanium, choice B, would be the second most reactive of the options offered, while choices C and E, chlorine and iodine, are Group VIIA elements like fluorine, and thus would be only slightly reactive with it. Choice A, argon, is an inert gas and would not be reactive at all.17. EThe rate law for any reaction, A + B ∅ C, is given by:rate = k[A]x[B]ywhere k is the rate constant at the temperature at which the reaction is carried out, [A] and [B] are the concentrations of the two reactants, and x and y are the reaction orders with respect to A and B respectively. This question asks us to find x from the experimental rate data provided. To simplify the tabulated rate data, we can rewrite the table as small whole number multiples of the smallest entry in each column:line # [A]o [B]o rate1 1 1121 2 42 4 163Looking at lines 1 and 2, where the concentration of reactant A is held constant, we see that a doubling in the concentration of B results in a quadrupling of the rate, therefore the reaction is second order with respect to B. We can now look at lines 2 and 3 (or 1 and 3) to determine the required reaction order. From line 2 to line 3, the concentration ofB is doubled; the reaction rate should thus quadruple due to the influence of the concentration increase of second orderreactant B. We can divide out this quadrupling effect and create a hypothetical line 4:。
