1. Since nitrogen monoxide plays a significant role in ozone layer formation, some of its certain
properties should be determined. However, the chemist, Chemist A, tasked to do this became
sick after the sample he handled was spontaneously converted to nitric acid. Using your
knowledge in Chem 16, draw the molecular orbital diagram of nitrogen monoxide (15 points)
and determine its bond order (5 points) and magnetic property (2 points).
2. The only reagents available in a Chemist Bs laboratory are ammonia, K4Fe(CN)6, KSCN,
ammonium oxalate, barium nitrate, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid. Show the separation of the
following groups of ions using a schematic diagram and utilizing exactly two reagents for each
group. Include expected results (10 points each).

b) CO32-, SO423. Sulfuric acid (with molecular weight 98.079 g/mol) is a corrosive strong mineral acid that
occasionally decomposes to gaseous sulfur trioxide and water when in solution. Chemist C
needs to investigate the reaction and thus needs the following information
a) corresponding complete and balanced chemical reaction (3 points)
b) all four plausible Lewis and resonance structures of the gaseous product (5 points
each structure)

Several chemists encountered problems. Using your knowledge in Chemistry 16, help them by providing the
information needed.
1.

The name halogen means salt-producing. When they react with other elements, they produce a wide range of
salts or interhalogen compounds. A list of some of the most common halogen-containing compounds is seen
below. However, while Chemist D was preparing the compounds, bromine pentafluoride suddenly reacted with
the silica-contaminated beakers, producing oxygen gas that caused parts of the paper to be burnt. The following
data were left and it is important the lost data be recovered.

Bonding properties of O2, O2+, and O22- were listed by Chemist E in his laboratory gown. However, an aliquot of
the peroxide ion (O22-) was spilled. Because the species has bleaching properties, data gathered were lost. To
proceed with the experiment, the molecular orbital diagrams of each must be drawn. The bond orders, magnetic
properties, and arrangement of bond lengths must also be determined.
