Q

Which is the largest?
A. Sulfide
B. Chloride
C. Argon
D. Potassium ion

A

A. Sulfide

Sulfide (S²⁻): When sulfur gains two electrons to become a sulfide ion, its size increases significantly because of electron-electron repulsion in the outer shell.

Chloride (Cl⁻): When chlorine gains one electron to form a chloride ion, its size also increases, but not as much as the sulfide ion because it only gains one electron.

Argon (Ar): Argon is a neutral noble gas with a relatively small atomic radius because it has a full outer shell and no electron-electron repulsion.

Potassium ion (K⁺): When potassium loses one electron to become a 𝐾+ ion, its size shrinks significantly, as it loses its entire outer shell.

Q

In the equilibrium reaction above, the [Co(H2O)]2* exhibits pink color, while [CoCl1]2 exhibits blue color. Which of the following is true?

A. Upon heating, the purple solution turned blue, therefore the reaction is exothermic.
B. Upon heating, the purple solution turns blue, therefore the reaction is endothermic.
C. Upon cooling, the purple solution turns pink, therefore the reaction is exothermic.
D. Upon cooling, the purple solution turned blue, therefore the reaction is endothermic

A

B. Upon heating, the purple solution turns blue, therefore the reaction is endothermic.

When you heat the solution and it turns blue, this means that the reaction is shifting to produce more of the blue species ([CoCl₄]²⁻). According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if heating causes the reaction to shift to the right (producing more blue), it indicates that the forward reaction absorbs heat — meaning the reaction is endothermic.

Q
  1. Uranium-235 is one of the most common fuels used in nuclear power plants. On the other hand, Uranium-238 cannot be used as a fuel in a nuclear power plant. Which of the following best explains why Uranium-238 cannot be used as a fuel?

A. Uranium-238 does not undergo radioactive decay.
B. Uranium-238 does not undergo fission easily enough to be used as a fuel.
C. There is not enough Uranium-238 in naturally occurring uranium to use it as a fuel.
D. Uranium-238 is not a naturally occurring isotope of uranium.

A

B. Uranium-238 does not undergo fission easily enough to be used as a fuel.

Uranium-235 readily undergoes fission when bombarded with thermal neutrons, releasing large amounts of energy. However, Uranium-238 does not undergo fission under the same conditions because it is much more stable and requires fast neutrons to fission, which are harder to control in nuclear reactors.

D. Xe

A

C. SO2

At 0°C and 1 atm, one mole of any ideal gas occupies about 22.4 liters. However, real gases can behave differently.

He (Helium): Ideal behavior, weak forces.
CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide): Heavier, but still close to ideal.
SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide): Stronger forces, behaves less ideally.
Xe (Xenon): Heavy noble gas, behaves similarly to He.

SO₂ has the strongest intermolecular forces, so it will occupy a smaller volume than the others.

Q

At constant T and P, a system will be in equilibrium when which of the following quantities is at minimum?
A. W
B. H
C. A
D. G

A

D. G

At constant temperature and pressure, the Gibbs free energy (G) is a measure of the maximum reversible work that can be performed by a thermodynamic system.

Spontaneity: A reaction happens naturally if it lowers Gibbs free energy (G). If G is at a minimum, small changes will make it go up, meaning the system is stable.

Equilibrium Condition: At equilibrium, reactions go forward and backward at the same rate. This balance happens when G is at its lowest.

Thermodynamic Stability: When G is minimized, the system is stable and won’t change on its own unless something disrupts it.

Q

In which atmosphere are typhoons most likely to occur?
A. Stable
B. Unstable
C. Inversion
D. Isothermal

A

B. Unstable

Typhoons, which are intense tropical cyclones, are most likely to occur in an unstable atmosphere. An unstable atmosphere promotes the vertical development of thunderstorms, which are crucial for the formation and intensification of typhoons.

An unstable atmosphere provides the necessary conditions for rapid vertical movement of air, which is essential for the formation of typhoons. The combination of warm sea surface temperatures, high humidity, and the dynamics of rising air creates a conducive environment for these powerful storms to develop and strengthen.

C. They are stereoisomers having non-identical mirror image configurations.
D. They are stereoisomers that do not have non-identical mirror image configurations.

A

C. They are stereoisomers having non-identical mirror image configurations.

Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. These molecules are chiral, meaning they lack a plane of symmetry and cannot be overlapped onto their mirror images.

Explanations:
A. They are achiral stereoisomers: Enantiomers are chiral, not achiral.
B. They are stereoisomers having a mirror plane of symmetry: Enantiomers do not have a plane of symmetry; this is a feature of achiral molecules.
D. They are stereoisomers that do not have non-identical mirror image configurations: This describes molecules that are not enantiomers, such as meso compounds, which have identical mirror images.

A

D. Hydrogen bonds

Hydrogen bonds are the key stabilizing forces in the alpha-helix. In an alpha-helix, the carbonyl oxygen of one amino acid forms a hydrogen bond with the amide hydrogen of another amino acid that is four residues earlier in the sequence (n to n+4). This pattern of hydrogen bonding is what gives the alpha-helix its helical structure and stability.

Recently scientists reported a bacterium that they believe incorporates arsenic into its DNA by substituting it for another element. Which element in DNA is arsenic most likely to replace?
A. carbon
B. oxygen
C. nitrogen
D. phosphorus

A

D. phosphorus

DNA Structure: DNA is made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group contains phosphorus.

Role of Phosphorus: Phosphorus is a crucial component of the backbone of DNA, connecting the sugar molecules of adjacent nucleotides.

Arsenic Substitution: The reported ability of certain bacteria to incorporate arsenic into their DNA suggests that arsenic can mimic phosphorus due to its similar chemical properties. This allows arsenic to replace phosphorus in the DNA structure.

Before pyruvic acid enters the TCA cycle, it must be converted to
A. acetyl-CoA
B. lactate
C. malate

A

A. acetyl-CoA

Conversion to Acetyl-CoA: Pyruvic acid (pyruvate) is converted to acetyl-CoA by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase. This conversion is crucial as acetyl-CoA is the substrate that enters the TCA cycle (Krebs cycle).
Process: During this conversion, one molecule of carbon dioxide is released (decarboxylation), and NAD+ is reduced to NADH.
