Atomic Structure and Properties
What effect does increasing temperature have on the solubility of CO2 gas in a soda can under pressure?
Decreases solubility leading to more effervescence upon opening
Increases solubility resulting in flatter soda when opened
No effect on solubility since CO2(g)'s behavior is independent of temperature
Empties faster due to increased vapor pressure inside
Which process will result in an increase in entropy?
Melting ice, since changing from solid to liquid decreases disorder.
Evaporation of water, as the change from liquid to gas increases disorder.
Condensation of steam, since the change from gas to liquid decreases disorder.
Freezing water, since changing from liquid to solid decreases randomness.
If a chemist needs to determine the concentration of ethanol in an aqueous solution using gas chromatography, which calibration method would produce the most accurate results considering the potential interactions between molecules?
Employing a single-point calibration with pure ethanol.
Utilizing external standards without considering molecular interactions.
Using an internal standard with similar volatility and polarity as ethanol.
Measuring the response factor for ethanol alone at various temperatures.

If given only initial concentration data for reactants A and B along with final concentrations after equilibrium was reached in two separate experiments where [A]>[B] initially in one trial while [B]>[A] initially in another trial showed si...
Seeing altered speed profile despite constant equilibrium constants suggesting increased complexity beyond simple elementary steps.
Observations that the rate of the reaction was independent of concentration ratios suggesting a rate-limited step is not influenced by the initial reactant concentrations are unlikely to occur.
Detectability based upon variations within equilibria constant values between trials implying differing kinetic orders associated therewithal.
Noticing distinct activation energy measurements from one experiment versus another denoting divergent molecular collisions impacting overall process speeds across varied conditions.
Which state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container?
