Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure Questions

Multiple choice
  1. 36.5 g of HCl

  2. 27 g of N2O5

  3. 33 g of CO2

  4. 9 g of H2O

  5. 28 g of N2

C Correct answer
Explanation

33 g of CO2  = 0.75 moles of CO2   = 0.75 x 6.023 x 1023 molecules of CO2 = 3 x 0.75 x 6.023 x 1023 atoms = 2.25 x 6.023 x 1023 atoms.

Multiple choice
  1. Chlorotrianisene, Estrone, Estriol

  2. Diethylstilbestrol, Estrone, Fosfestrol

  3. Estriol, Diethylstilbestrol, Fosfestrol

  4. Chlorotrianisene, Diethylstilbestrol, Fosfestrol

  5. Estrone, Estriol, Fosfestrol

D Correct answer
Explanation

Correct answer. Chlorotrianisene is a non-steroidal synthetic estrogen that was formerly used for the treatment of menopause, deficiencies in the functioning of ovaries and prostate cancer. Diethylstilbestrol is a synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen that was first synthesised in 1938. Fosfestrol is a synthetic estrogen used as an antineoplastic agent.

A Correct answer
Explanation

In H3O+, there are 3 bonding pairs and one 1 pair. The theoretical bond angle for 4 electron domains is "tetrahedral", i.e.109.5.
