Multiple choice questions

For some of these questions, you need data from the appendices of Inorganic Chemistry, third edition by C.E. Housecroft and A.G. Sharpe. On opening the book cover you will find a periodic table and a list of elements and atomic masses. Physical constants are listed on the back inside cover of the book.

Multiple choice questions by Catherine E. Housecroft.

16 What symmetry does an SO3 molecule possess?
 
End of Question 16


Question 17
17 One method of manufacturing SO2 is by roasting iron sulfide:
4FeS2 + 11O2 → 2Fe2O3 + 8SO2
Which of the following statements is correct about this reaction?
 
End of Question 17


Question 18
18 The following data are for solutions at pH 0:
[S2O8]2- + 2e- = 2[SO4]2- Eo = +2.01 V
[Cr2O7]2- + 14H+ + 6e- = 2Cr3+ + 7H2O Eo = +1.33 V
[MnO4]- + 8H+ + 5e- = Mn2+ + 4H2O Eo = +1.51 V
From the data, you can deduce that, at pH 0:
