I haven't finished studying Bio so I'm not gonna say anything lol although most of them aren't that hard. But I can talk about GC #22:

V2 = V1 (P1/P2)(T2/T1) which you derive from the original formula PV = nRT
So compare the scenario you have to STP:

V2 = (.11L)(.9atm/1atm)(273K/373K)
V2 = 0.073L
Density = .10g / 0.073L = 1.37 g/mol
M.W. = (1.37 g/mol)(22.4 L/mol) = 30.7 mol which is the same thing as you got! lol but a different approach! lol

24. two hundred grams of a hydrogen halid is added to a liter of water. If the boiling point of the solution is 102.5 C, what is the identity of the halide? Kb=0.51c/m

the basic eequation is bp elevation: dT=(m)(kb)(i), since its a hydrogen halid (HCl for example it will dissociate into 2 molecules) because we are talking about colligative properties...so the equation will look like this: 102.5-100=(200g/MW)(.51)(2)...you get 80.1 or something like that and its closes to Br-

Why did you guys put Hydrolysis for formation of peptide bonds....isnt it condensation cause your losing a water molecule to form a peptide chain...hydrolysis is the break down of the peptide chain....when water is reacted and therefore it breaks the bonds
 
Agree with osmos on last Q atomic radii is right.Dumb mistake!!!!!
 
hey, how did you get 22.4. if pressure doubles, does not the volume become 1/2. can you explain this please. thank.

At STP so:

(22.4)(1)/273=(V)(2)/546 --> (22.4)(1)(546)/(2)(273)=V2=22.4

yes your right the volume is halfed but then they say the temperature is doubled so then volume is doubled from half to 1....so it goes from 22.4 to 11.2 when you double the pressure and then it goes again to 22.4 when you double the temp...

Osims,I'm working on it.Wiki it to see what is the right answer,my reasoning was that when you are forming a peptide bond you are losing water.But,I might be completely wrong.Let me find out or if you can elaborate your reasoning would be great.Thanks

osims, where does it say that the temp doubles up? if we use PV=nRT then doubling the pressure 1/2 the volume, just like you said. but then i just don't understand where you came up with doubling the temp.

guys, what about the other question, anyone found any answer to it?

At STP T = 273 K. In this question the given T = 273 C = 273 + 273 = 546 = which is twice the STP
 
Duh!! I was thinking the same way as glycogen, that's why I chose hydrolysis. Thanks osims!

25. one mole of helium at STp is heated to 273 C. if the pressure doubles as a result, find the volume occupied by the heated gas.

In the question is tells you it was first at STP (temp=273K at stp and pressure=1atm) and then it was heated to 273C...which is what: 273+273= 546) thats doubling the temperature right...so it would cancel out the affect of the pressure being doubled...
 
Your pressure got double and also tem and so
volume doesnot change.



it says that the pressure is doubled. but how do u know that the temp is also doubled?? i'm missing this - it says that the gas is heated (so obvi is its gonna be more than 273 K) but how do u know its doubled and why?

you guys are missing the big picture...it says its first at STP then heated to 273C....

STP=273K
After it is heated to 273C= 273C convert to Kelvin so you add 273 right...which is 546K

Now whats the difference between 546k and 273K...doubling the temperature...

22. a 0.10 gram sample of gas occupies 110mL at 100 C and 0.9 atm. What is the molecular weight?
(just set up the calculation)

pv=nRT so (.9)(.110)=n(.0821)(373) n= .00323mol so .10g/.00323mol= 30.93g/mol


Guys I thought we do the following calculation:

PV=nRT for n we can right mass/molecular weight so

PV=(mass/molecular weight) RT and here we just substitute P and V for MW so we get

MW = (mass)(R)(T)/PV which would be MW= (0.10)(0.0821)(373)/(0.9)(.110) is this right?

  • Nerves produce hormones and endocrine glands produce nerotransmitters.
  • Tissues in the endocrine system are myelinated while those in the nervous system are not.
  • The endocrine system uses chemicals, and the nervous system does not.


18. what type of reaction in involved in the assembly of peptiede bond?


  • condensation rxn
  • hydrolysis rxn
  • catabolic rxn
  • fermentation rxn
  • metabolic rxn

19. genetic recombination during meiosis results from


  • synapsis
  • crossing over
  • linkage

20. the functional unit of vertebrate skeletal muscle consists of


  • one muscle fiber and the motor end plate.
  • An entire muscle
  • A single motor neuron and the group of muscle cells innervated by its axon.
  • All of the muscle fibers linked by a spinal nerves
  • A group of myofibrils and their myofilaments

21. at low temp and high pressures, the measured pressure of a gas is


  • less than the calculated pressure, because intermolecular forces reduce the avg. force of the collisions with a unit area of the container.
  • Less than the calculated pressure, because the avg. size of the gas molecules increase
  • Less than the calculated pressure, because the avg. molecular speed increase.
  • Greater than the calculated pressure, because the avg. molecular speed increase.
  • Greater than the calculated pressure, because intermolecular forces increase the frequency of the collisions with a unit area of the container.

22. a 0.10 gram sample of gas occupies 110mL at 100 C and 0.9 atm. What is the molecular weight?
(just set up the calculation)

Guys I thought we do the following calculation:

PV=nRT for n we can right mass/molecular weight so

PV=(mass/molecular weight) RT and here we just substitute P and V for MW so we get

MW = (mass)(R)(T)/PV which would be MW= (0.10)(0.0821)(373)/(0.9)(.110) is this right?

23. a substance is nonconducting in both the solid and liquid phases. It is hard at room temp but becomes soft enough when heated to be molded into various shapes. It is not water soluble. This substance would be characterized best by which of the following?


  • ionic
  • metallic
  • catalytic
  • isotopic
  • polymeric

24. two hundred grams of a hydrogen halid is added to a liter of water. If the boiling point of the solution is 102.5 C, what is the identity of the halide? Kb=0.51c/m


  • fluoride
  • chloride
  • bromide
  • iodide
  • astatide

25. one mole of helium at STp is heated to 273 C. if the pressure doubles as a result, find the volume occupied by the heated gas.


  • 5.6L
  • 11.2L
  • 22.4L
  • 67.2L
  • 89.6L
My answer is B. what do you say?

26. which of the following reagents would increase the solubility of calcium fluoride?


  • HF
  • HCl
  • CaCl2
  • NaF
  • CH3CH2OH


27. Which of the following properties increases with atomic number in group 15?


  • oxidation state
  • ionization energy
  • electronegativity
  • electron affinity
  • atomic radius

28. a 147 gram sample of K2Cr2 O7 (294.2g/mol) contains:


  • 2 mole of potassium
  • 104.0gram of chromium
  • 2.5 mole of oxygen
  • 1 mole of molecules
  • 5.5 mole of atoms

I am not sure about this one.

104.0gram of chromium
2.5 mole of oxygen
1 mole of molecules
5.5 mole of atoms

For this last one, if you take the 147gx(mole/294.2g) you get .5 moles of the molecule...so the amount of moles of oxygen has to be 7/2=3.5moles so cant be that one

It isnt 2 moles of potassium cuz we calculated it to be half a mole of the whole molecule so K would have 1 mole not 2...

we would only have 1 mole of chromium which is 52 grams...

It has to be 5.5 moles of atoms because if you divide K2Cr2O7 by 2 (because we found that the molecule only contains half the mole not the full mole) it would be KCrO3.5 when you add up all of those atoms and their respective moles...you will get K1Cr1O3.5, so its 1+1+3.5=5.5 moles of atoms...
 
thanks for the explanation for #25!

btw, why isnt #16's answer osmosis and not simple diffusion???

cuz simple or passive diffusion could be either passive diffusion without a carrier protein: this is usually when small polar substances like H20, CO2 cross the membrane and also nonpolar small substances like O2. When you have larger molecules that are polar you have to use a protein carrier...this is facillitated diffusion...

you prob already know this....But overall here it is:

Simple Diffusion:
-passive
-facilitated

Active Transport/Diffusion:
-Proton pump (like Na+/K+ proton pump)
-needs energy

Osmosis:
-only thing is water movement which is simple diffusion of a small polar molecule through membranes...

So basically osmosis is simple diffusion but without a protein carrier so its the answer...haha that was long but hopefully you understand the reasoning behind choosing that answer...
