Heavy water, symbolized D2O (D = 2H) finds use as a neutron moderator in nuclear reactors. In a mixture with ordinary water, exchange of isotopes occurs according to the following equation: H2O+D2O⇌2HDO Kc = 3.86 at 298 K. When 1.50 mol of H2O is combined with 1.50 mol of D2O, what are the equilibrium amount of H2O (in moles) at 298 K? Assume the density of the mixture is constant at 1.05 g/cm3.

A scientist measured the properties of a newly synthesized gas molecule. At 55.00 degrees C and 2.090 atm, the specific volume is found to be 0.4947 L/g.
A) Using the ideal gas law, find the molar mass of this molecule.
B) After conducting additional experiments, this scientist measures the critical temperature and pressure of this gas as 308.3 K and 61.4 bar. Was it a good idea in part (A) to assume that the gas was ideal at those conditions?
C) Comparing the physical properties in A and B to known compounds, what molecule do you think this scientist synthesized?

Upon graduation, in a misguided attempt to pay off your student loans more quickly you become involved in the trade of illicit narcotics. Your usual supplier gets eliminated by the competition and you are forced to procure your product from a new supplier. You purchase what your new supplier claims to be codeine (C18H23NO3) of >99% purity but a simple (and ill-advised) taste test leaves you suspicious that it has been thinned with sucrose (C12H22O11). You look up the heat of combustion of codeine (2327 kcal/g) and that of sucrose (2222 kJ/mole). You then take 1.0g of your product and find that it releases 2095 kcal upon combustion. What is the purity of your sample, assuming it contains only codeine and sucrose?

Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false. If the statement is false, modify and rewrite it so that it is a true statement.
a. When a molecule has two, degenerate, “infrared active”, vibrational modes, the two vibrational modes will show absorptions at different frequencies in the infrared spectrum.
b. For a given substance, strong intermolecular forces between molecules of the substance can cause peak broadening of some of the absorptions in the infrared spectrum of the substance.

Bonding is at the heart of chemistry. In chemical reactions, bonds are broken and new bonds are made. Individual atoms break free from their original bonding partners and interact and form bonds with a new bonding partner. All this happens nearly instantaneously. The interaction between the orbitals in two bonding atoms leads to molecular orbitals.
After thoroughly reviewing atomic orbital theory and molecular orbital theory, respond to the following:

In a calorimeter, we added 50 mL of 1M HCl to 50 mL of 1.1 M NH3 which produces NH4Cl. If the temperature increased 5.0 degrees Celsius, what is the molar enthalpy? We weren't given a heat capacity for the calorimeter but it was made out of a glass beaker and the heat capacity of glass is 0.840 J/goC found on google.
