A scientist observed changes in the gas pressure of one mole of a gas in a sealed chamber with a fixed volume.
To identify the source of the changes, the scientist should check for variations in the
a.
air pressure outside the chamber.
c.
b.
molecular formula of the gas
isotopes of the gas
d.
temperature of the chamber
Which of the following has the largest atomic radius?

Copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide solutions react in a test tube as shown below.
Cu(NO3)2 (aq)
+
2NaOH(aq)

Cu(OH)2 (s)
+
2NaNO3(aq)
If nitric acid is added to the test tube, the amount of solid precipitate decreases. The best explanation for
this is that the acid
a.
reacts with the copper (II) nitrate, pulling the equilibrium to the left.
b.
dilutes the solution making the precipitate dissolve.
c.
will dissolve most solids, including sodium nitrate.
d.
will react with the copper (II) hydroxide to form water and soluble copper (II) nitrate.
