Chemistry flashcards for UVAS DVM Admission Test
21 of 51 cards from the Chemistry deck — real questions with worked answers.
What is the mole, and how many particles does it contain (Avogadro's number)?
A mole is the amount of substance containing as many particles as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12. It contains 6.022 x 10^23 particles (Avogadro's number, NA).
How do you calculate the number of moles from a given mass of a substance?
Moles (n) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol). i.e., n = m / M.
Define molar mass and state its units.
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, numerically equal to its relative atomic/molecular/formula mass. Units: g/mol.
What is the molar volume of any ideal gas at STP (0 degrees C, 1 atm)?
22.4 dm^3 (22.4 L) per mole.
How is the number of particles calculated from the number of moles?
Number of particles = moles (n) x Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23).
What does stoichiometry deal with in chemistry?
Stoichiometry is the quantitative study of the relative amounts (mole ratios) of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation.
What is a limiting reagent?
The limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a reaction; it determines (limits) the maximum amount of product formed.
How is percentage yield calculated?
Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100.
What is an empirical formula?
The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element present in a compound (e.g., CH2O for glucose).
What is a molecular formula, and how is it related to the empirical formula?
The molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule. Molecular formula = (empirical formula) x n, where n = molar mass / empirical formula mass.
Outline the steps to determine an empirical formula from percentage composition.
1) Take percentages as grams; 2) divide each by its atomic mass to get moles; 3) divide all by the smallest mole value to get the ratio; 4) multiply to obtain whole numbers.
What are the three main subatomic particles, their charges and relative masses?
Proton (+1, mass ~1 amu), neutron (0, mass ~1 amu), electron (-1, mass ~1/1836 amu).
What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment conclude about the atom?
That the atom has a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus at its center, with most of the atom being empty space; electrons orbit the nucleus.
What is the main postulate of Bohr's atomic model?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed, quantized energy levels (orbits); they emit or absorb energy only when jumping between levels (E = hv).
Distinguish between atomic number (Z) and mass number (A).
Atomic number (Z) = number of protons (= electrons in a neutral atom). Mass number (A) = number of protons + neutrons.
What are isotopes?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same atomic number (protons) but different mass numbers (different numbers of neutrons).
What are the four quantum numbers and what does each describe?
Principal (n): energy level/size; Azimuthal (l): subshell/shape; Magnetic (m): orbital orientation; Spin (s): electron spin direction (+1/2 or -1/2).
What values can the azimuthal quantum number (l) take, and which subshells do they represent?
l = 0 to (n-1). l=0 is s, l=1 is p, l=2 is d, l=3 is f.
How many orbitals and electrons can s, p, d, and f subshells hold?
s: 1 orbital, 2 e-; p: 3 orbitals, 6 e-; d: 5 orbitals, 10 e-; f: 7 orbitals, 14 e-.
State the Pauli exclusion principle.
No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of all four quantum numbers; an orbital holds at most 2 electrons with opposite spins.
State Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity.
Electrons occupy degenerate (equal-energy) orbitals singly with parallel spins before any orbital is doubly occupied.
Planning Chemistry for UVAS DVM Admission Test
Chemistry is about 28% of the UVAS DVM Admission Test syllabus by topic count — 45 of 159 topics, spread over 14 chapters. At roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic, a first pass runs to about 35 hours.
The heaviest chapters are Chemical Bonding (4 topics), Hydrocarbons (4 topics), Oxygen-Containing Compounds (4 topics) . Front-load those while your energy is high; the short chapters are better revision filler later.
Work top-down: read the chapter, then tick topics off individually rather than marking the whole chapter done. Sub-topics are where silent gaps hide.
