High Yield GRE Chemistry Questions and Detailed Explanations
Question 1
Which of the following compounds has the highest electronegativity?
- LiF
- NaCl
- KCl
- RbCl
Electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period and from bottom to top within a group. Among the given compounds, fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element. Therefore, LiF has the highest electronegativity.
Question 2
What is the hybridization of the carbon atom in the following molecule: CH2=CH2?
- sp
- sp2
- sp3
- sp3d
The carbon atom in CH2=CH2 is bonded to two other carbon atoms through double bonds. Each double bond consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. The carbon atom also has two hydrogen atoms attached to it. Therefore, the carbon atom has a total of three sigma bonds and two pi bonds. This corresponds to the sp2 hybridization.
Question 3
What is the product of the following reaction: CH3CH2OH + HBr → ?
- CH3CH2Br
- CH3CH2O
- CH3CH2Br + H2O
- CH3CH2O + H2
This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction, where the hydroxide ion (OH-) from CH3CH2OH attacks the electrophilic carbon atom of HBr. The product is CH3CH2Br, formed by the displacement of the bromide ion (Br-) by the hydroxide ion.
Question 4
Which of the following solutions has the highest pH?
- [H+] = 1 x 10-7 M
- [H+] = 1 x 10-8 M
- [H+] = 1 x 10-9 M
- [H+] = 1 x 10-10 M
pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is calculated as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration: pH = -log[H+]. Therefore, the solution with the lowest hydrogen ion concentration will have the highest pH. In this case, [H+] = 1 x 10-7 M has the lowest hydrogen ion concentration and therefore the highest pH.
Question 5
What is the rate law for the following reaction: 2NO + 2H2 → N2 + 2H2O?
- Rate = k[NO][H2]
- Rate = k[NO][H2]2
- Rate = k[NO]2[H2]
- Rate = k[NO]2[H2]2
The rate law for a reaction is determined experimentally. The rate law for this reaction is found to be Rate = k[NO][H2]2. This means that the rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the square of the hydrogen concentration and directly proportional to the concentration of nitric oxide.
These high yield GRE Chemistry questions and detailed explanations provide a solid foundation for your preparation. By thoroughly understanding these concepts, you will significantly enhance your chances of excelling in the Chemistry section of the GRE. Remember to practice regularly, review the explanations carefully, and identify your areas of improvement. With determination and a strategic approach, you can conquer the GRE Chemistry section and achieve your desired score.
