The Ideal Gas Law is as follows:
is pressure as measured in Pascals, 
is volume as measured in cubic meters, 
is the number of moles of the gas, 
is the gas constant known as 8.314 Joules per mole times Kelvin, and 
is the temperature measured in Kelvin.
A class of students began studying the Ideal Gas Law and how the Pressure and the Volume relate to one another. They took 20 moles of a sample gas and kept the room at a temperature of 300 Kelvin. They then used different sized containers of the gas to limit and expand the volume. At each different volume, they measure the pressure of the gas on its container. The table they made from their results is seen in table 1.

The rate of a reversible chemical reaction depends on many factors, including concentrations of the reactants and products, temperature, and presence of enzymes called catalysts. In the forward reaction, two reactants combine to form one product. However, in a reverse reaction, the product is broken down into the two reactants.
In order for a forward reaction to occur, the reactants moving around in the test tube must physically interact with each other. The more often reactants interact with each other, the more produce is formed in the same amount of time. The speed at which reactants combine into products (the rate of the reaction) can be calculated by dividing the amount of a chemical produced in a reaction (often measured in moles) by the time it takes to produce that amount.
In order to determine the effects of reactant and product concentration, temperature, and presence of catalysts on the rate of a reaction, a scientist studied the following reaction:
The scientist varied the conditions of the experiment and measured the rate of the reaction. The results are outlined in Table 1. The units of concentration are moles per liter.

The question asks us to determine the best way to show the relationship between the moles of a certain reactant, H+, and the rate of the reaction. The most logical way would be to plot the moles versus the rate, providing a line or bar graph that would show how the rate increased with increasing concentration of the reactant. The other plot set ups do not provide a clear way to show how increasing or decreasing the concentration of a reactant would change the rate.

In the forward reaction, two reactants combine to form one product. However, in a reverse reaction, the product is broken down into the two reactants.
In order for a forward reaction to occur, the reactants moving around in the test tube must physically interact with each other. The more often reactants interact with each other, the more produce is formed in the same amount of time. The speed at which reactants combine into products (the rate of the reaction) can be calculated by dividing the amount of a chemical produced in a reaction (often measured in moles) by the time it takes to produce that amount.
In order to determine the effects of reactant and product concentration, temperature, and presence of catalysts on the rate of a reaction, a scientist studied the following reaction:
The scientist varied the conditions of the experiment and measured the rate of the reaction. The results are outlined in Table 1. The units of concentration are moles per liter.
The direction of the reaction most likely depends on:
The passage and Table 1 only describe the rate of formation of HCl, not whether the reaction primarily forms HCl or whether HCl is broken down into H+ and Cl-. Unless the passage described in more detail how HCl was formed, we cannot assume that the direction of the reaction is solely dependent on one of the factors listed in the table. While we can see that the rate of the reaction slows down when more HCl is initially present at the start of the reaction, we do not know if the reaction rate becomes negative at some point (meaning that more HCl is being broken down than formed).

The rate of a reversible chemical reaction depends on many factors, including concentrations of the reactants and products, temperature, and presence of enzymes called catalysts.

This question asks us to consider what the effect of doubling the moles of H+ would be on the rate of the reaction. However, we must take into consideration that Experiment 8 has a doubled temperature, making the base rate 100. If we consider Experiments 1 and 4, we can see that doubling the H+ concentration doubles the rate. Thus, we could predict that the rate would be somewhere around 200. The only option that fits the predicted value is a rate > 100.

Chemists can model how solids, liquids, and gases behave at different temperatures and pressures with a graph called a phase diagram. When the pressure and temperature are simultaneously known, a scientist can predict whether the material will be in a specific state. The diagram is divided into sections depending on the phase and the lines between sections represent phase transitions occurring between two or more separate phases.
In general, solids of neatly stacked molecules exist when temperatures are low and pressures are intermediate. These values decrease the kinetic energy of the molecules enough to allow for attractive forces to begin the stacking process. Liquids, by contrast, are found at intermediate pressures and temperatures. The temperature is high enough to impart enough kinetic energy to prevent solid formation and the pressure is high enough to prevent the liquid from becoming a gas. Finally, a gas forms at low pressures and high temperatures. The high level of kinetic energy prevents molecules from associating with one another.
Materials can undergo processes called phase transitions, meaning they can transition from one phase to another. The transition from a solid to a liquid is called melting, while the reverse transition is called freezing. Vaporization occurs when a liquid becomes a gas, while condensation occurs when a gas becomes a liquid. Finally, in a process called sublimation, a solid can directly become a gas without passing through a liquid phase. Additionally, when a gas directly becomes a solid, this is known as deposition.
The process as a substance goes from its phase in area one to its new phase in area two is called __________.

The last sentence of the first paragraph gives us an indication of what Point D may represent. We are told that the lines between sections represents a phase transition occuring between those respective phases. At Point D, however, we see that all three phases intersect, implying that all phase transitions are occuring simulaneously at this point and thus all states of the material may be present.

This question asks us to look at the figure to see what would happen if we keep the pressure constant but increase the temperature of the room storing the dry ice. We can see that as we move left to right across the figure, without changing pressure, that we cross the phase transition line for sublimation/deposition. Becasue the temperature is warming, we know we are going from a solid directly to a gas by the process of sublimation.
