PLEASE HELP WITH CHEM QUESTIONS ... some are uni questions

hey all.
i have my uni chem exam coming up.. which involves alot from year 12 chem.

ive done about 300 questions and here are just some that im struggling little bit with.
ive done most of them , however if people could do them i can also get some proper working out + check my answers and id really really appreciate the help.

Question 20 answers
   2.208 L
   1.877 L
   4.086 L
   1.987 L
   17.626 L

Q2:  ans is Fe2+ + 2 OH-→ Fe(OH)2, it is a precipitation reaction in which Fe2+ and OH- come together

Q3: 5; Fe3+ is [Ar]3d^5

Q4: none of these; the actual configuration is [Kr] 5s24d105p4

Q5:    Sr < Na < O < F, Sr is HUGE (easy to rip electron), Na+ is stable, O and F are small and O+ and F+ are unstable, F+ more so than O+ because of higher core charge on F.

Q6: refraction - light can change direction coz of a lens

Q7: the angular momentum quantum number (l) [this determines whether the shell is s, p, d, etc.] although ml is also really important as it can determine orientation...i'd go with ml i think...

Q8: 3 1 +1 -1/2; use Aufbau principle and Hund's Rule. P is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

Q9: N > P > Al > In. The further down and further left of periodic table you go, the electronegativity decreases.

Q10: Al - Cl, use electronegativity values

Q11:  1 single bonded hydrogen and 3 lone pair of electrons. Draw lewis structure of H-Br.

Q12: O - electrons cannot be promoted to a d-subshell as electrons only in first and 2nd shells. For molecules to break octet rule, it must be possible to promote electrons to a d-subshell for the central atom (exceptions include BeCl2 and AlCl3...where metalloids are involved)

Q13: linear. draw Lewis structure, then use VSEPR

Q14: Bent (bond angle about 120°). Draw lewis structure...there are two oxygens and a lone pair around the sulfur.

Q15: 3. double bonds from C to both Os, one bond to one O and 3 to another, and the reverse.

Q16:    polar bonds, and is a polar molecule. Electronegativities are highly different, and molecule is square planar (5 bonding pairs + 1 lone pair around I)

Q17:  the energy state of the bonded atoms is less than when they are separated. Main principle is that atoms want to be at lower energies

last Qn:    2.208 L. Use P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2.

one other question i got is

what volume in literes will 38.0 grams of f2 occupy at stp

now i got 1 mol of f
thus v=vnXn

hence 1 X 22.4 = 22.4

the answers are
24.7
11.2
22.7
44.8
none of the above

is the answer none of the above because the decimal point is wrong?

VCE Chem 3/4 students take no note of this!!!

matt123 IUPAC has changed the definition of STP - it's no longer 1 atm and 273 K, rather 1 bar (100 kPa) and 273 K.
The new molar volume for STP is 22.7 L mol^(-1)

Hence your answer is 22.7.

VCAA is still going by the old definition of STP. If they do change, it'll say so on our data book.

can you please provide a source for that information?

EDIT: nevermind, http://goldbook.iupac.org/S05910.html
Updated in Release 2.0.3, 2009-02-17

So by the dates, I'm guessing VCAA wouldn't really budge this year, considering it's been two years and they haven't done anything about it.
