Environmental Engineering

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 40 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Energy/mole






2. Photochemical reaction; photochemical dissociation; or simply photolysis






3. Mass (g)/molecular weight






4. >100 -000; there is no natural decay cycle for them


5. First balance the chemical reaction - then for each species multiply the number of moles by the standard enthalpy to find total enthalpy






6. 6.02x10^23 molecules






7. Ortho: side by side - meta: one point away - forms an M - para: opposite each other






8. Change in enthalpy (H2-H1); the sum of the enthalpies of the reaction products minus the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants






9. E=hv=(hc)/wavelength where: E=energy of a photon (J) h=planck's constant (6.6x10^-34 Js) v=frequency (hertz - ie. cycles per second) c=speed of light (3.0x10^8 m/s) gamma=wavelength (m)






10. 1 atm and 298 K (kj/mol)






11. Organic matter - silt - clay - sand






12. Natural waste






13. Number of protons in the nucleus






14. Vector sum of all bond dipoles in a structure






15. Atoms containing the same number of protons but differing amounts of neutrons are __________ of each other






16. Unsaturated - has double bonds!






17. When change in H (enthalpy) is positive - heat is _____________ and the reaction is said to be _____________






18. 1 mole of a substance dissolved into enough water to make the mixture have a volume of 1 L.






19. The sum of the atomic weight of all the constituent atoms






20. If we divide the mass of a substance by its molecular weight - the result is the mass expressed in ________.






21. Groups linked by straight or branched carbon chains






22. Wavelength </= hc/E






23. The heat released when water condenses to liquid form - also known as the gross heat of combustion






24. Molecules cannot store up energy from a series of photon encounters (waiting until enough energy is accumulated to cause photolysis...






25. All single bonds






26. Circle (hexagonal if we'z gon get technical hurr) alkenes with double bonds at every other joint.






27. Benzene; graphite






28. The more molecules of benzene - the more hydrophilic/hydrophobic the compound






29. The mass of the atom measured in atomic mass units (1 proton=1 amu)






30. Ring structures: - enes (double bonds); - anes (single bonds)






31. Organic - carbonates (they're inorganic)






32. Inorganic






33. The flow of electrons goes to...






34. The heat of reaction when water is assumed to remain in a vapor state; also called the net heat of combustion






35. Electrons are free to cycle around arrangements of atoms which are alternatively single- and double- bonded to one another. These bonds may be seen as a hybrid of a single bond and a double bond - each bond in the ring identical to every other






36. H=U+PV; H2-H1=change in H=Q






37. At standard STP (corresponding to __ degrees celsius and __ atm) - 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies ___ L and contains ___ molecules.






38. The process of going from one phase to another






39. The number of moles of substance per liter of solution






40. For a photon to be able to cause photolysis - it must have at least as much energy as...
