Diagram 2 shows the set up of apparatus to investigate the diffusion in a liquid. After a few hours, the whole test tube of water becomes purple in colour Which of the following statements explain the observation?
-
Potassium manganate(VII) is denser than water.
-
Matter is made up of particles that expand uniformly
-
Matter is made up of particles that are moving randomly
-
Particles in potassium manganate(VII) move faster in water
Correct Answer
A. Matter is made up of particles that are moving randomlyExplanation
The observation that the whole test tube of water becomes purple in color indicates that the particles of potassium manganate(VII) are spreading out and mixing with the water particles. This can only happen if the particles are moving randomly, as stated in the correct answer. If the particles were moving uniformly or if potassium manganate(VII) was denser than water, the color would not have spread throughout the entire test tube. Additionally, the speed of the particles is not relevant to the observation.Rate this question:

-
Lead(II) iodide
-
Silicon dioxide
-
Ammonium chloride
-
Copper(II) carbonate
Correct Answer
A. Ammonium chlorideExplanation
Ammonium chloride changes to a gaseous state when it is heated. This is because ammonium chloride is a compound that undergoes sublimation, which is the process of transitioning directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state. When heated, the solid ammonium chloride sublimes and turns into a gas, without forming a liquid phase in between.Rate this question:

Which of the following isotopes is used in archaeology?
-
Cobalt-60
-
Carbon-14
-
Iodine-131
-
Phosphorus-32
Correct Answer
A. Carbon-14Explanation
Carbon-14 is used in archaeology because it is a radioactive isotope of carbon that is present in the atmosphere and absorbed by living organisms. When an organism dies, it no longer takes in carbon-14, and the amount of carbon-14 in its remains gradually decreases over time through radioactive decay. By measuring the remaining amount of carbon-14 in archaeological artifacts, scientists can determine their age and gain insights into past civilizations and events.Rate this question:

The atomic size decreases across the Period 3 because the
-
Proton number increases
-
Nucleon number decreases
-
Number of neutrons increases
-
Number of shell occupies electron decreases
Correct Answer
A. Proton number increasesExplanation
As you move across Period 3 of the periodic table, the atomic size decreases because the proton number increases. The atomic size is determined by the balance between the attractive force of the protons in the nucleus and the repulsive force of the electrons in the electron cloud. As the number of protons increases, the attractive force becomes stronger, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus and reducing the atomic size. Therefore, the increase in proton number is the reason for the decreasing atomic size across Period 3.Rate this question:

-
Hydrogen chloride.
-
Tetrachloromethane.
-

-
Potassium iodide solution
Correct Answer
A. Potassium iodide solutionExplanation
The bulb lights up when potassium iodide solution is used because potassium iodide is an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water or in a molten state. When potassium iodide is dissolved in water, it dissociates into potassium ions (K+) and iodide ions (I-), which are free to move and carry electric charge. This movement of ions allows the flow of electric current, causing the bulb to light up.Rate this question:

-
120
-
90
-
64
-
32
Correct Answer
A. 32Explanation
The relative molecular mass of a compound is the sum of the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in the compound. In this case, the compound has two sodium atoms (Na) and two X atoms, along with three oxygen atoms (O). Given that the relative atomic mass of sodium is 23 and the relative atomic mass of oxygen is 16, we can calculate the relative molecular mass as follows: (2 * 23) + (2 * X) + (3 * 16) = 158. Simplifying the equation, we get 46 + 2X + 48 = 158. Solving for X, we find that X = 32. Therefore, the relative atomic mass of element X is 32.Rate this question:
