Final Review Practice
- Why is water a liquid, sugar a solid, and oxygen a gas at room temperature?
The intermolecular forces of attraction in sugar than that of water which in turns are stronger than those of oxygen.
- What is conduction? How is heat transferred through a metal frying pan to an egg?
The particles of a substance (solid) gain kinetic energy causing an increase in vibration that is passed on to adjacent particles by contact. Metal of the pan touching egg conducts heat by vibration of particles and passing the energy from the heat source to the egg.
- Name the following phase changes and indicate whether the change is an endothermic or an exothermic process.
‐gas to liquidCondensation/ Exo
‐solid to gasSublimation /Endo
‐liquid to gasEvaporation/Endo
‐solid to liquidMelting/Endo
- Using the heating curve below:
‐what change is happening from point B to point C? what is occurring on the molecular level?
The intermolecular forces that are holding the solids together are breaking apart using the energy provided.
‐explain whether or not it takes longer to melt or to boil this substance, and explain why.
It takes more energy to separate particles in a liquid to form gas than it does to separate the particles in a solid to form liquid.
- How do the amount of [H+] and [OH‐] compare in acid, base and neutral solutions?
Acid more [H+]
Base more [OH‐]
Neutral Equal amounts of [H+] and [OH‐]
- What are the pH ranges for acids and bases?
Acid: 0-7
Base:7-14
Neutral: 7
- Identify the following substances by their pH.
urine 6.6 Acidsaliva ‐ 7Neutralbeer – 4.5Acid
pumpkin juice ‐5 Acideggs – 7.8 Basebread – 5.5Acid
- Describes three tests you could perform to identify an acid, and three tests for identifying a base.

- What are the products of an acid reacting with a base?
Salt and Water
- Predict the products for the following reactions and balance each equation.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl →2H2O +CaCl2
H3PO4 +3NaOH→3H2O+ Na3PO4
- How is acid rain formed?
By Burning fossil fuelssulfuric and nitric acid areformedresulting toacid rain
- Why are some lakes unaffected by acid rain, while others are affected by it?
Lakes with Limestone and calcium carbonates experience less effects form acid rain because they neutralize the acid.
- What is temperature?
Temperatureis a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the particles in a substance.
- From each of the graphs below about gases, indicate the relationship between the variables andwhich variable is being held constant?
As the volume increases the Pressure decreases.
As the Temperature increases the Pressure increases.
As the volume increases the Temperature decreases.
