Final Exam Practice Set and Solutions
Final Note:
First off, I’d like to apologize for the longer delay. Word was being very stubborn
about not saving my work properly. In the limited amount of time I had, I put
together the computationally heavy problems and solutions in this last quarter of
the class. There is no review from the previous sections from the course mainly
because the resources for those sections are still available. That’s pretty much all I
have to say about this practice set. I really enjoyed meeting many of you during
this semester and hope to see you guys again, on Sproul or wherever. This will
probably also be the last practice set and student review sessions that I’ll hold for
the rest of my college career since my time in the upcoming years will be devoted
towards club officer duties in NSU. With that, I wish all of you the best of luck for
all your finals and hope you guys also have a great summer vacation given that
you’re not attending summer sessions like I am ^_^ .

The review session has already past, but I will be
available through the bSpace chatroom and email.
Since the reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium, we cannot assume that the reaction goes
to completion. Moreover, it will be shown that it is actually the reverse. Using the “ICE”
method to solve for equilibrium concentrations.

Fortunately, the above equation will be provided on the exam, so you don’t have to worry
about deriving it every time you need to use it. This was just for informational purposes.
First off we should solve for the ratio of the concentrations required for the particular
buffer pH.

Next, we’ll calculate the moles of present in the solution.

Since concentrations of both compounds will be in the same solution, the volumes cancel
21 Balance the following skeletal equation of the reaction between permanganate ions and
sulfide ions within a basic solution using half‐reactions.
Oxidation Half‐Reaction:
No hydrogen or oxygen atoms to take care of, thus only balance the charges:

Reduction Half‐Reaction:
Balance oxygen atoms using water molecules

Rebalance the hydrogen atoms by adding water to the side requiring additional hydrogen
atoms and adding a hydroxide ion on the other side

With such a large K value, this reaction essentially goes to completion.
24 A silver electrode in 0.032M Ag NO3 is connected to a hydrogen electrode in which the
pressure is 3.5 bar. If the cell potential is 0.081V at 25°C, what is the pH of the electrolyte?
