The Burette (in the hands of a student):
accurate
precise
accurate and precise
(i.e. the student’s inexperience is the cause of the imprecision, not the burette)
Accurate since the average is close to 7.00 which is the pH of neutral water
The pH Meter is:
accurate
precise
accurate and precise
Very repeatable (small error between measurements) but systematically off by a lot: 5 parts out
of 65 or 7% even thought it reports four sig figs)

(4 pts) As a bicycle tire is inflated with 125 Joules of work, the surroundings absorb 180 Joules of
heat. The change in the internal energy is:
w = +125 Joules as work is done TO the tire
q = -180 Joules heat since heat LEAVES the system
ΔE = q+w = 125-180 = -55 Joules

35) (6 pts) If you have 200 g of CaCl2, how many grams of a 20.% (m/m) solution can your prepare? How
much water do you need to use (mL)? Show ALL of your work for credit
20% (m/m)
20. g CaCl2
100 g soln
and 200 g CaCl2
flip over the conversion factor and mult
200x(100/20) = 1000 g soln
Then, solution = solvent + solute or 1000 g = x + 200g so 800 g H2O needed or 800
mL since the density of water is 1.00 at room temperature.
36) (6 pts)
What is the molecule with this molecular orbital diagram? O2
What is the bond order ? (8-4)/2=2

(6 pts) Derive deBroglie’s relationship for the wavelength of matter
Combine E=h
Set
c=
E=hc/ equal to
or (6-2)/2 = 2
= ? remember to convert c to v
and get E=hc/
E=mc2
and hc/
= mc2
solve for
= h/(mc)
Since matter can’t travel at the speed of light, change c to v for velocity
= h/(mv)
