Exercise n. 1
Determine The solidification temperature of a water solution containing 4,52g of NaOH in 200,5
mL of H2O (d= 0,996 g/ml) Knowing that a 0,150 m glucose solution solidifies at -0,279°C. NaOH
is completely dissociated in water solution. Glucose is not dissociated in water solution.

Exercise n. 2
Calculate the value of E of the following galvanic cell
Ag(s)|Ag+(Ag2CrO4sat)||Ag+(0,125M)|Ag(s)
Kps Ag2CrO4=1,1x10-12.

Exercise n.3
A sample of NH4HS(s) is put in a 2,58L vessel containing 0,100 moles of NH3(g). Determine the
total pressure of the gases when the following equilibrium is reached at 25°C:

NH4HS(s) NH3(g) + H2S(g)

Kp=0,108 a 25°C. R = 0,0821 L atm mol-1 K-1

Exercise n. 4
Write the Lewis structure of the following compounds and indicate the chemical name, the
molecular geometry, bond angles, hybridation, s and p bonds and resonance structure:
HCO3- , HNO3 , SO2 , NH4(OH), PCl5

Exercise n. 5
Calcolate the pH of a 0,150 M solution of hypochlorous acid (HClO, Ka= 3.00 x 10-8), before and
after the addition of 120 g of [Ca(ClO)2], completely soluble salt, assuming that the solution
volume, equal to 1,00 L, remains constant upon addition of the salt.
