Which of the following is true about H2S?
It is monoprotic
It is diprotic
It is polyprotic
Cannot be determined
How does increasing temperature generally affect an exothermic reaction at equilibrium?
It decreases both forward and reverse reaction rates equally with no net shift in position.
It shifts equilibrium toward products due to increased kinetic energy overcoming activation energy barriers more easily.
It increases both forward and reverse reaction rates equally with no net shift in position.
It shifts the equilibrium toward reactants because heat acts as a product.
If sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide at high temperatures, what change would favor production according to Le Chatelier's principle?
Decreasing temperature
Removing O2
Adding more SO2
Increasing pressure
In terms of molecular behavior, how does increasing pressure influence gas-phase reactions according to Le Chatelier's principle?
Increasing pressure has no effect on gas-phase reactions at equilibrium.
Increased pressure slows down all gas-phase reactions due to decreased volume available for collisions.
Increasing pressure shifts equilibrium toward fewer moles of gas if possible.
Increasing pressure always results in equal adjustments among all gases present.
When comparing HCl and HBr, which will have stronger hydrogen bonding capabilities in solution?
HBr because it has a larger atomic radius.
HCl because it has a higher electronegativity difference.
They have equal hydrogen bonding capabilities due to their similar structures.
Neither; they do not form hydrogen bonds.
In the context of acid rain, which molecular structure change in water could lead to increased acidity when exposed to industrial pollutants?
Forming hydronium ions () after reacting with sulfur dioxide.
Breaking of hydrogen bonds between water molecules.
Formation of covalent bonds between water and nitrogen gas.
Ionization of water into hydroxide ions () and isolated protons ().
Which of the following is false?
CH3OH2 is stronger than CH3OH
For a strong acid-weak base titration, the pH at equiv. point is less than 7.
For a strong acid-base titration, the equiv. point occurs when the pH is 7.
HBr is more acidic than HI.

What role do solvent molecules play in determining whether a substance acts as an Arrhenius acid or base?
Thermal stability provided to reactants, having no significant impact on proton exchange
Increasing solvent viscosity thereby slowing down ion movement, reducing reactivity
Increasing substance’s ability to donate or accept protons through solvation effects
Tendency to form complexes with ions, changing only reaction kinetics but not mechanism
Which of the following is NOT a common acid structure?
Binary acid
Oxyacid
Carboxylic acids
Metal hydroxides.
How does the molecular structure of formaldehyde (HCHO) give it acidic properties compared to ethanol (C₂H₅OH)?
Formaldehyde can release a positive hydrogen ion, forming a resonance-stabilized hydroxide ion.
Ethanol is more effective as an acid than formaldehyde due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules in the solution.
Formaldehyde is more reactive than ethanol owing to its simple structure and absence of a hydrocarbon chain.
Both formaldehyde and ethanol are unable to act as acids because they lack carboxylic groups incorporating hydrogen.
