Honors Chemistry Midterm Review

This will be counted as a test grade. You may work together, but each student must
turn in their own responses. You may come before/after school to ask questions or
email me at shughes1@hampton.k12.va.us.

Due January 13th for green and January 14th for gold.
If you do not turn the review in by the above dates
you will receive a zero. Again, this is a test grade.

How do you convert from Celsius to Kelvin? Vice versa?

Define directly proportional and inversely proportional.
What are units for density? Volume? Mass?
Convert 18470 seconds to days.
Solve for the density of an object that weights 68.392 g and displaces 3.84 mL
of water. Use rules for SIG FIGS!!
6. What is the volume shown in this graduated cylinder? (Dont forget that you
always get to make a guess at the last digit)

a.
b.
7. What is the formula for percent error?
8. Calculate percent error if a student reports the mass as 36.7 g and the known
value is 38.4 g.
9. Define the separation techniques we discussed- filtration, chromatography,
evaporation, etc.
10. Which piece of glassware will give you the most accurate volume- a beaker,
test tube, graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask? Which would be the least
accurate?
11. Define accuracy and precision.

12. Identify the sets of data as accurate and/or precise.

13. Define independent and dependent variables.

14. A scientist attempts to determine the effect of varying concentrations of
ammonia on a bacterial culture. Several cultures of the same species of
bacteria were grown in culture tubes, each with a different concentration of
ammonia. The cultures were incubated in a 37C incubator and after 24
hours the cultures were examined for the bacterial growth.
a. What is the control group in this experiment?
b. What is the independent variable?
c. What is the dependent variable?
15. How do we calculate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons?
16. List properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Where are they found
on the periodic table?
17. How can number of valence electrons be easily determined?
18. Define mixture.
19. Define homogeneous and heterogeneous. Give an example of each.
20. Define pure substance.
21. Give two examples of a pure substance.
22. How many valence electrons does an atom with the following electron
configuration have: 1s22s22p63s23p5
23. Define chemical property and physical property.
24. Define diatomic? Which elements did we say are found as diatomic elements?
25. What is the electron configuration of aluminum? Al2+? F-?
26. State the three subatomic particles, their masses, and their charges. Where
are they found in the atom?
27. Draw the general shape of the periodic table and label it with the trends we
discussed- electronegativity, electron affinity, first ionization energy,
shielding, atomic radius, and nuclear charge. Define what these properties
mean.
28. One trend we had not discussed was reactivity. Since you just defined
electronegativity, it should make sense that more electronegative elements
are more reactive. Add reactivity to the diagram from 24.
29. What is a family or group on the periodic table? What is a period?
30. Why do groups have similar properties?

31. How many electrons can be added to the first 4 energy levels in a Bohr
diagram?
32. For the element Bromine, draw a Bohr diagram, Lewis dot diagram, electron
configuration, and orbital notation.
33. What are the 4 sublevels? How many orbitals are in each? How many
electrons can fit in each sublevel?
34. What does it mean when it is said an atom is neutral?
35. If an atom of oxygen has 11 electrons, what is its charge? 7 electrons?
36. What were the results of the gold foil experiment? The oil drop experiment?
37. What is the oxidation state of H in H2? In H2O? What is the oxidation state of
oxygen in O2? In H2O? In H2O2?
38. What do X, Y, A, and Z represent in the following diagram?
39. Write all the prefixes 1-10 used in naming binary molecular compounds.
40. Define ionic compound and ionic bond.
41. How are ionic compounds named? What if theres a polyatomic ion?
42. Define covalent compound and covalent bond.
43. How are binary covalent compounds named?
44. Define molecular and empirical formulas.
45. What is the molecular formula of hydrogen peroxide? What is the empirical
formula?
46. An element has three isotopes. Their weights are 23 amu, 24 amu, and 25
amu. If the relative abundance of each is 10%, 50%, and 40%, respectively,
then what is the average atomic mass?
