3. What is the O-O bond order for O2?

A. 1/2
B. 1
C. 1 1/2
D. 2
E. 2 1/2
F. 3
4. Which of the following species is paramagnetic?

O2+  O2  O2-  O2-2

A. only O2+
B. O2, O2-, and O2-2
C. O2+, O2, and O2-
D. O2+, O2, O2- and O2-2
E. none of the above


5. The boiling points for nitrogen and oxygen are -218 oC and -196 oC, not not necessarily in that order.  From what you observed in laboratory, which is the correct assignment of the boiling points of nitrogen and oxygen?

A.  Nitrogen is -218 oC and oxygen is -196 oC
B. Oxygen is -218 oC and nitrogen is -196 oC
C. Both gases have essentially the same boiling points.
D. Nothing we observed in laboratory would allow us to predict the relative order of boiling points.


6. Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid

A. increases with an increase in pressure.
B. decreases with an increase in pressure.
C. increases with an increase in temperature.
D. decreases with an increase in temperature.
E. depends on the intermolecular forces present between the gas and the liquid.
7. The O—O single bond such as in peroxides is
A. one of the strongest s-bonds known.
B. unstable due to formal charge problems.
C. unusually weak because the single bond is formed between a s- and p-orbital.
D. unusually weak because the single bond is formed between a p- and p-orbital.
E. especially strong due to oxygen's large electronegativity.


8. Which anhydride is correctly described?

A. SO2 — base anhydride
B. CaO — acid anhydride
C. Al2O3 — acid anhydride
D. P2O5 — amphoteric anhydride
E. Na2O — base anhydride


9. Sketch the Lewis dot structure for ozone.  Given that the O—O single and double bond strengths are 146 kJ/mol 495 kJ/mol, respectively, estimate the heat of formation, DHf, for ozone.

B. -204 kJ
C. -102 kJ
D. +204 kJ
E. -901 kJ
