Chemical Reactions
If an element is reduced in a redox reaction, what happens to its oxidation state?
It remains unchanged
It increases
It fluctuates during the reaction
It decreases
What would be formed as the precipitate when solutions of barium nitrate and sodium sulfate are mixed?

When predicting how a catalyst affects an equilibrium reaction, which statement accurately describes its influence?
It decreases both activation energy and overall enthalpy change (ΔH) of the reaction.
It lowers the activation energy without altering the position of equilibrium or thermodynamic properties such as ΔH and ΔS.
It raises activation energy thus shifting equilibrium towards products.
It increases entropy (ΔS), driving non-spontaneous reactions towards spontaneity.

What is a double replacement reaction?
One reactant decomposes into two or more products.
Two reactants fuse to form one product.
A compound reacts with an element causing a switch in elements within the compound.
It involves the exchange of ions between two compounds to form two new compounds.
In designing an experiment that uses calorimetry techniques applied thermodynamics principles determine heat combustion specific hydrocarbon fuel source which factor must considered ensuring accuracy precsion measurements obtained?
Ignoring surrounding temperture variations assuming they negligible effect internal energetics reaction
Assuming constant volume calorimeter adequate despite knowing expansion gases occurs
Accounting potential heat losses surroundings comprehensive system insulation strategies calibration equipment
Focusing soleley quantity hydrocarbon used neglecting purity combusted material
When diluting a concentrated solution containing an equilibrated mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, which statement correctly predicts the pH change?
pH decreases since additional water reduces overall ionic strength, favoring dissociation of the weak acid and lowering the pH.
pH stays the same because the autoprotolysis of water is not significantly impacted by the dilution of low concentrations of weak acid and conjugate base.
No predictable change occurs as unpredictable interactions among various ions weaken predictiveness about the pHydroxide levels.
pH increases due to decreased ratio of acid/base concentration, increasing hydroxide ion concentration and thereby raising the pH.
