    When vinegar and baking soda are reacted, the mass of the products are

    • More than the starting materials

    • Less than the starting materials

    • Same as starting materials

    Correct Answer
    A. Same as starting materials
    Explanation
    When vinegar and baking soda are reacted, a chemical reaction takes place, resulting in the formation of new products. However, the law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the mass of the products should be the same as the mass of the starting materials.

    A redox reaction shows the flow of _________.

    • Protons

    • Neutrons

    • Electrons

    • Antimatter

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons
    Explanation
    A redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons between species. In these reactions, one species loses electrons (oxidation) while another species gains electrons (reduction). The flow of electrons is what drives the chemical changes in the reaction. Protons and neutrons are not involved in the transfer of electrons during a redox reaction. Antimatter, although it can participate in reactions, is not specifically associated with redox reactions. Therefore, the correct answer is electrons.

    An exothermic reaction would feel _____ to the touch.

    • Hot

    • Cold

    • Fuzzy

    • Smooth

    Correct Answer
    A. Hot
    Explanation
    An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat. Therefore, if you were to touch an object or substance undergoing an exothermic reaction, it would feel hot to the touch.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    When water freezes (liquid to solid) , entropy

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Stays the same

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreases
    Explanation
    When water freezes, the molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a rigid, ordered structure. This decrease in molecular motion and randomness leads to a decrease in entropy. Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system, so as the water transitions from a liquid to a solid state, the level of disorder decreases, resulting in a decrease in entropy.

    To balance the reaction ____Fe + ___O2 --> ___Fe2O3 the correct coefficients are

    • 4, 3, 2

    • 4, 2, 3

    • 3, 2, 4

    • 3, 4, 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 4, 3, 2
    Explanation
    The balanced equation for the reaction is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3. This means that for every 4 iron (Fe) atoms and 3 oxygen (O2) molecules, 2 iron oxide (Fe2O3) molecules are formed. The coefficients in the answer choice 4, 3, 2 match the balanced equation, indicating that 4 moles of Fe, 3 moles of O2, and 2 moles of Fe2O3 are needed to balance the reaction.

    • 1

    • 3

    • 12

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 12
    Explanation
    The formula 4 C3H5(NO3)3 indicates that there are four molecules of C3H5(NO3)3. Each molecule contains three nitrogen atoms (N), so to find the total number of N's, we multiply the number of molecules (4) by the number of N's per molecule (3), which gives us a total of 12 N's.

    In the metal activity series, Mg is ABOVE Zn. If I want a reaction to occur between Mg & Zn, the solid would have to be

    • Mg

    • Zn

    • Both Mg & Zn

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. Mg
    Explanation
    Mg is above Zn in the metal activity series, indicating that Mg is more reactive than Zn. This means that Mg has a higher tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions compared to Zn. In order for a reaction to occur between Mg and Zn, Mg needs to be in the solid state because it is more reactive. Therefore, the solid in the reaction would have to be Mg.

  • 9. 

    When atoms absorb energy, the electrons move to a(n) __________ state.

    • Excited

    • Ground

    • Middle

    Correct Answer
    A. Excited
    Explanation
    When atoms absorb energy, the electrons gain enough energy to move to a higher energy level or orbital. This higher energy level is known as the excited state. In this state, the electrons are not in their usual stable configuration and can eventually release the excess energy by emitting light or heat and returning to their ground state. The ground state refers to the lowest energy level that an electron can occupy in an atom. The middle state is not a term used to describe the electron's energy levels.

    Rate this question:

    The smaller wavelengths of light have a ___________ energy level.

    • Lower

    • Higher

    • Non-existent

    Correct Answer
    A. Higher
    Explanation
    Smaller wavelengths of light have a higher energy level. This is because the energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, and inversely proportional to its wavelength. Since smaller wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, they also have higher energy levels.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What happens to the temperature of a material while it boils?

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Stays the same

    • Takes an absolute value

    Correct Answer
    A. Stays the same
    Explanation
    When a material boils, it undergoes a phase change from a liquid to a gas. During this phase change, the temperature of the material remains constant. This is because the heat energy being supplied to the material is being used to break the intermolecular bonds holding the molecules together, rather than increasing the temperature. Once all the molecules have enough energy to overcome these bonds, the material can transition into a gas state, and only then will the temperature start to increase again.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Reduction is when ___________ are ___________.

    • Electrons, gained

    • Electrons, lost

    • Protons, gained

    • Protons, lost

    Correct Answer
    A. Electrons, gained
    Explanation
    Reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are gained. This means that during reduction, a species accepts or gains electrons, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation state. In other words, reduction involves the addition of negatively charged electrons to a species, leading to a more negative charge or a lower oxidation state.

    To be conduction, a solution must have ions that

    • Are electrons

    • Are protons

    • Can move

    • Can glow

    Correct Answer
    A. Can move
    Explanation
    For a solution to be conductive, it must have ions that can move. In a conductive solution, the ions are able to freely move and carry an electric charge. This movement of ions allows for the flow of electric current through the solution. Therefore, the ability of ions to move is a crucial characteristic for a solution to exhibit conductivity.

    • Are clear

    • Are mostly odorless

    • Move in constant rapid random motion

    • Have no mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Move in constant rapid random motion
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "move in constant rapid random motion." This statement is a fundamental principle of the Kinetic Molecular Theory, which describes the behavior of gases. According to this theory, gas particles are in constant motion, moving rapidly and randomly in all directions. This motion is what gives gases their ability to fill a container and diffuse throughout a space.

    The dissolved salt in the ocean is an example of

    • A distillation

    • A filtration

    • A solute

    • A solvent

    Correct Answer
    A. A solute
    Explanation
    The dissolved salt in the ocean is an example of a solute because it is the substance that is being dissolved in the solvent, which in this case is water. The solute particles are dispersed throughout the solvent, forming a solution. In the case of the ocean, the salt particles are spread out in the water, making it a saline solution.

    When the amount of gas and pressure are constant, when the temperature decreases the volume of the balloon

    • Goes up

    • Goes down

    • Stays constant

    Correct Answer
    A. Goes down
    Explanation
    When the amount of gas and pressure are constant, according to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. Therefore, when the temperature decreases, the volume of the balloon decreases as well. This can be explained by the fact that as the temperature decreases, the gas molecules have less kinetic energy and move slower, causing them to occupy less space and resulting in a decrease in volume.

    The difference in charges on the atoms in a water molecule causes OTHER water molecules to bond through a

    • Polar-covalent bond

    • Covalent bond

    • Polar bond

    • Hydrogen bond

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen bond
    Explanation
    The difference in charges on the atoms in a water molecule causes other water molecules to bond through a hydrogen bond. In a water molecule, the oxygen atom is slightly negative due to its higher electronegativity, while the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive. This creates a polarity in the molecule, with the oxygen atom having a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms having partial positive charges. These opposite charges allow the oxygen atom of one water molecule to attract the hydrogen atoms of neighboring water molecules, forming a hydrogen bond. This bond is weaker than a covalent bond but still strong enough to give water its unique properties such as high boiling point and surface tension.

  • 19. 

    What are  2 requirements for a combustion reaction to occur?

    • Fuel & oxygen

    • Fuel & hydrogens

    • Carbon dioxide & oxygen

    • Water & oxygen

    Correct Answer
    A. Fuel & oxygen
    Explanation
    A combustion reaction occurs when fuel and oxygen are present. Fuel provides the necessary energy source, while oxygen acts as the oxidizing agent. Without fuel, there would be no source of energy to initiate the reaction, and without oxygen, there would be no oxidizing agent to support the reaction. Therefore, both fuel and oxygen are required for a combustion reaction to occur.

    Three ways to denature proteins include:

    • Heat, water & salt

    • Heat, water & pectin

    • Heat, acid & salt

    • Heat, salt & pectin

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat, acid & salt
    Explanation
    Proteins can be denatured through various methods, including heat, acid, and salt. Heat disrupts the hydrogen bonds and weakens the protein's structure. Acidic conditions alter the protein's charge distribution, causing it to unfold. Salt disrupts the electrostatic interactions within the protein. Therefore, when heat, acid, and salt are combined, they collectively denature the protein by breaking its bonds and altering its structure.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    When proteins are denature, they ______________.

    • Clump up like a glob

    • Become cystalline

    • Unravel

    • Break all bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Unravel
    Explanation
    When proteins are denatured, they lose their shape and structure, causing them to unravel. This is typically due to factors such as heat, pH changes, or exposure to certain chemicals. Denaturation disrupts the weak bonds that hold the protein's structure together, leading to the unfolding and loss of its biological function.

    Heat is defined as

    • The amount of kinetic energy

    • The amount of potential energy

    • The amount of hotness

    • The amount of coldness

    Correct Answer
    A. The amount of kinetic energy
    Explanation
    Heat is defined as the amount of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. When the particles of a substance move faster, they have higher kinetic energy, which results in an increase in temperature. Therefore, heat can be understood as the measure of the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

    Food coloring mixes easily with water because it is

    • Hot

    • Cold

    • Hydrophobic

    • Hydrophillic

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrophillic
    Explanation
    Food coloring mixes easily with water because it is hydrophilic. Hydrophilic substances have an affinity for water, meaning they are attracted to and can easily dissolve in water. Food coloring molecules are polar, which allows them to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, facilitating their dispersion and even distribution throughout the water. This property makes food coloring an ideal additive for coloring water-based solutions, such as beverages or icing.

    material Specific heat (cal/goC) Copper 0.09 Iron 0.107 Aluminum 0.17 Glass 0.20 Which of the above materials, given the same mass, would be the HOTTEST 5 minutes after being removed from a burner?

    • Copper

    • Iron

    • Aluminum

    • Glass

    Correct Answer
    A. Glass
    Explanation
    Glass has the highest specific heat among the given materials. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. Since glass has a higher specific heat, it can absorb more heat energy compared to the other materials for the same mass. Therefore, when removed from a burner, glass would retain more heat and remain hotter after 5 minutes compared to copper, iron, and aluminum.

  • 27. 

    Metals readily ____________ electrons to form _______________ charged particles.

    • Lose, negatively

    • Lose, positively

    • Gain, negatively

    • Gain, postively

    Correct Answer
    A. Lose, positively
    Explanation
    Metals readily lose electrons to form positively charged particles. This is because metals have a tendency to have fewer electrons in their outermost energy level, making it easier for them to lose those electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration. The loss of electrons results in the formation of positively charged ions, also known as cations. These cations are attracted to negatively charged particles or anions, creating an overall neutral charge in a compound or molecule.

    In the water cycle, water _____________ from oceans, lakes and streams and forms condensation in the clouds.

    • Accumulates

    • Condenses

    • Evaporates

    • Transpires

    Correct Answer
    A. Evaporates
    Explanation
    In the water cycle, water undergoes a process called evaporation, where it changes from a liquid state to a gas state. This occurs when heat energy from the sun causes the water molecules to gain enough energy to escape from the surface of oceans, lakes, and streams. The water vapor then rises into the atmosphere and forms condensation in the clouds, leading to the formation of rain or other forms of precipitation.
