Sample Midterm Examination
The midterm examination is two (2) hours long. In the actual
examination you would not be allowed consult your books or notes;
however, you would be able to use a calculator. We strongly recommend
that you sit this examination as if you were writing it in an invigilated
setting. You will get a much better idea of your degree of preparedness
for the actual examination.
Part A: Short-answer Questions (1 mark each)
1. In the chemical reaction A + B → 2C, the rate of decrease in [A] was
measured to be 2.0 Ms-1. What was the rate of increase in [C]?
2. A given reaction was found to follow first order kinetics, with a rate
constant k = 8.3 × 10-2 s-1. What is the half–life of this reaction?
3. If the reaction between atomic chlorine with ozone,
Cl + O3 → ClO + O2, is an elementary reaction, what is the rate law
for this reaction?
4. In a study of the effects of temperature on the rate of reaction
Cl + O3 → ClO + O2, the following equation for the rate constant was
found:

5. For the equilibrium reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), write the
expression for Kc.
6. For the equilibrium reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), write the
expression for Kp in terms of Kc.
7. For the reversible reaction 2A + B 2C, the equilibrium constant
Kc = 1.85. If a mixture of A, B, and C has concentrations [A] = 0.40 M,
[B] = 0.40 M, and [C] = 0.30 M, will the reaction mixture shift to the
left (to reactants) or the right (to the product)?
8. A 1.0 L vessel was initially filled with pure NOBr(g) to a pressure of
4.0 atm. The final partial pressure of NOBr was 2.5 atm after the
following equilibrium was established: 2NOBr(g) 2NO(g) + Br2(g).
What is the value of Kp?
9. What is the pH of 0.25 M formic acid (Ka = 1.8 × 10-4)?
10. What is the percent ionization of 0.25 M formic acid?
