Answer 2:
(C) Elements in the group with (C) have a possible oxidation number of -2.

Answer 3:
(B) Elements in the group with (B) react in a 1:1 ratio with elements in the group with (D), since one has an electron to lose and the other one needs an electron to complete its outer energy level.

Answer 4:
(A) (A) loses 2 electrons to form an ion whose remaining electrons, being close to the nucleus, are pulled in closer than what occurs in (D) because of a greater number of protons.

Answer 5:
(B) Since (B) has only one electron in the outer 4s orbital, it can more easily be removed than can an electron from the 3s orbital of (A), which is closer to the positive nucleus.

Answer 6:
(E) All Group VIII elements have a complete p orbital as the outer energy level. This explains why these elements are “inert.”

Answer 7:

Answer 112:
(F, F) Both the statement and the reason are false.

Answer 113:
(T, T, CE)
In going from 100°C to 0°C, the volume decreases as the gas gets colder; therefore, the temperature fraction expressed in kelvins must be 273/373 to decrease the volume. To go from 600 mm to 760 mm of pressure increases the pressure, thus causing the gas to contract. The fraction must then be 600/700 to cause the volume to decrease. You could use the formula
sat-chemistry-subject-test-practice-test-1-(337-113)

Answer 114:
(T, T)
Since HCl is a strong acid and ionizes completely in dilute solution of water (the [H+] and [H3O+] are the same thing), the molar concentration of a 0.01 molar solution is 1 × 10-2 mol/L.
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log[1 × 10-2 ]
pH = -(-2) = 2
The pH is 2, but the reason, although true, does not explain the statement.

Answer 115:
(T, T, CE) Both statements are true, and the reason explains the assertion.

Answer 116:
(T, T) The water molecule is polar because its molecular structure has the more elec-tronegative oxygen molecule at the one end and the two hydrogen molecules 105° apart. This causes the oxygen end to be more negatively charged than the hydrogen side of the molecule. The radius of the oxygen atom is greater than that of a hydrogen atom, but that has nothing to do with the polar nature of the water molecule.

Answer 41:
(C) I and II are correct. The equation is 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2(g). The coefficients include a 1 and a 2.

Answer 42:
(B) 2CO + O2 -> 2CO2 indicates 2 volumes of CO react with 1 volume of O2 to form 2 volumes of CO2. Therefore, 10 L of CO form 10 L of CO2.

Answer 43:
(D)
H2SO4 + 2NaOH -> 2H2O + Na2SO4 is the equation for this reaction. 1 mol H2SO4 = 98 g. 1 mol NaOH = 40 g. Then 49 g of H2SO4 = 1/2 mol H2SO4. The equation shows that 1 mol of H2SO4 reacts with 2 mol of NaOH for a ratio of 1:2. Therefore,  1/2 mol of H2SO4 reacts with 1 mol of NaOH in this reaction. Since 1 mol of NaOH equals 40. g, and 80. g of NaOH is given, 40. g of it will remain after the reaction has gone to completion.

Answer 47:
(A)
Gibbs free energy combines the overall energy changes and the entropy change. The formula is ΔG = ΔH- TΔS. Only if ΔG is negative will the reaction be spontaneous in the forward direction.

Answer 48:
(C)
When silver oxide decomposes, the oxidation states of the silver and the oxygen change from +1 to 0 and from -2 to 0, respectively. Therefore, the decomposition of silver oxide is a redox reaction.

Answer 49:
(B)
Since the mass of the silver oxide (4.64 g), the mass of the oxygen released upon heating (0.32 g), and the mass of the silver remaining in the crucible (4.32 g) can all be calculated, the percent composition of the silver oxide can be found. In other words, (0.32 g/4.64 g) × 100% = 6.9% oxygen in silver oxide. Similarly, (4.32 g/4.64 g) × 100% = 93.1% silver in silver oxide.

Answer 50:
(A)
The mass of oxygen released from the silver oxide can be converted into moles by using dimensional analysis.

Because the numbers in the problem are easily relatable to each other, this problem could be solved without a calculator!

Answer 51:
(E)
The purpose of the second heating is to ensure that all of the oxygen is removed from the silver oxide. Since the mass after the second heating is only 0.01 g different from that of the first heating, the experimenter could feel confident that all of the oxygen has been practically removed because the difference is so small.

Answer 52:
(D)
A splint of wood with an ember placed into a container where oxygen may have been produced offers evidence of the production of oxygen if the splint starts burning. This is called the “glowing splint” test.

Answer 53:
(A)
The phenomenon is the formation of the white ring, which is NH4Cl. Although the distance traveled by each gas could be measured to verify Graham’s Law of Gaseous Diffusion, this was not asked. The relationship is that the diffusion rate is inversely proportional to the square root of the gas’s molar mass.

Answer 54:
(C) Since Ca2+ and HSO4- combine, the formula is Ca(HSO4)2.

Answer 55:
(C) NaOH is 40 g/mol. 40 g in 1 L makes a 1 M solution.

Answer 56:
(C) A saturated solution represents a condition where the solute is going into solution as rapidly as some solute is coming out of the solution.

Answer 57:
(D) II and III are correct since the double-bonded carbons in the alkene and the triple bonded carbons in the alkyne series have pi bonds.

Answer 58:
(B) The thistle tube is not below the level of the liquid in the generator and the gas would escape into the air. (Vinegar is an acid and would produce hydrogen.)

Answer 59:
(D) NH3 is very soluble and could not be collected in this manner. All others are not sufficiently soluble to hamper this method of collection.

Answer 60:
(C) The formula (mass) is the total of (Ca =) 40 + (2N =) 28 + (60 =) 96, or 164. Since oxygen is 96 amu of 164 total, the percentage is 96/164 × 100 = 58.5%.

Answer 61:
(D) The Keq expression consists of the concentration(s) of the products over those of the reactants, with the coefficients becoming exponents:

Answer 63:
(C)
In dilution problems, the expressions M× V1 = M2 × V2 can be used. Substituting (6.0 M) (0.50 L) = (2.0 M) (x L) gives x = 1.5 L total volume. Since there was 0.50 L to begin with, an additional 1L must be added.

Answer 64:
(C) The reaction equation and information given can be set up like this:

Answer 65:
(E) The functional group of an ester is

Answer 66:
(C) The thistle tube serves both these purposes.

Answer 67:
(D) The empirical formula is a representation of the elements in their simplest ratio. Therefore, CH2 is the simplest ratio of the molecular formula C3H6.

Answer 68:
(E)
Synthesis reactions contain only one product. This reaction contains two products. Therefore, it can’t be described as a synthesis reaction. It is, however, both combustion and redox. All combustion reactions are redox reactions because the elemental oxygen (with an oxidation state of 0) will enter into compounds and change its oxidation state.

Answer 69:
(A)
In the equation, 2 mol of Na release 822 kj of heat. If only 0.5 mol of Na is consumed, only one-fourth as much heat will be released: 1/4 × 822 = 205k.
CALCULATING YOUR SCORE
Your score on practice Test 1 can now be computed manually. The actual test is scored by i machine, but the same method is used to arrive at the raw score. You get one point for each correct answer. For each wrong answer, you lose one-fourth of a point. Questions that you k omit or that have more than one answer are not counted. On your answer sheet mark all correct answers with a “C” and all incorrect answers with an “X.”
Determining Your Raw Test Score
Total the number of correct answers you have recorded on your answer sheet. It should be the same as the total of all the numbers you place in the block in the lower left corner of each area of the Subject Area summary in the next section.
A. Enter the total number of correct answers here: ________
Now count the number of wrong answers you recorded on your answer sheet.
B. Enter the total number of wrong answers here: _________
Multiply the number of wrong answers in B by 0.25.
C. Enter that product here: _________
Subtract the result in C from the total number of right answers in A.
D. Enter the result of your subtraction here: _________
E. Round the result in D to the nearest whole number: _________.
This is your raw test score.
Conversion of Raw Scores to Scaled Scores
Your raw score is converted by the College Board into a scaled score. The College Board scores
range from 200 to 800. This conversion is done to ensure that a score earned on any edition I of a particular SAT Subject Test in Chemistry is comparable to the same scaled score earned on any other edition of the same test. Because some editions of the tests may be slightly easier or more difficult than others, scaled scores are adjusted so that they indicate the same level of performance regardless of the edition of the test taken and the ability of the group that
takes it. Consequently, a specific raw score on one edition of a particular test will not necessarily translate to the same scaled score on another edition of the same test.
Because the practice tests in this book have no large population of scores with which they can be scaled, scaled scores cannot be determined.
Results from previous SAT Chemistry tests appear to indicate that the conversion of raw
scores to scaled scores GENERALLY follows this pattern:
sat-chemistry-subject-test-practice-test-1-(342-tb)
Note that this scale provides only a general idea of what a raw score may translate into on a scaled score range of 800-200. Scaling on every test is usually slightly different. Some students who had taken the SAT Subject Test in Chemistry after using this book had reported that they have scored slightly higher on the SAT test than on the practice tests in this book. They all reported that preparing well for the test paid off in a better score!
DIAGNOSING YOUR NEEDS
After taking Practice Test 1, check your answers against the correct ones. Then fill in the chart below.
In the space under each question number, place a check if you answered that question correctly.
Example______________________________________________________
If your answer to question 5 was correct, place a check in the appropriate box.
Next, total the check marks for each section and insert the number in the designated block. Now do the arithmetic indicated, and insert your percent for each area.
