In what kind of reaction do two or more substances combine to form a new compound?
-
Decomposition reaction
-
Combustion reaction
-
Double-displacement reaction
-
Synthesis reaction
Correct Answer
A. Synthesis reactionExplanation
A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more substances combine to form a new compound. In this reaction, the reactants come together to create a single product. This is the opposite of a decomposition reaction, where a compound breaks down into its individual elements. Combustion reactions involve the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen, resulting in the release of energy. Double-displacement reactions occur when the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Therefore, the correct answer is synthesis reaction.Rate this question:

What is the measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction?
-
Mole ratio
-
Percentage yield
-
Theoretical yield
-
Actual yield
Correct Answer
A. Actual yieldExplanation
The actual yield is the measured amount of a product obtained from a chemical reaction. It represents the amount of product that is actually produced in the reaction, taking into account any limitations or inefficiencies in the process. The actual yield is often compared to the theoretical yield, which is the amount of product that would be obtained if the reaction proceeded perfectly according to stoichiometry. The percentage yield is then calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100. The mole ratio, on the other hand, is a ratio that relates the number of moles of one substance to another in a balanced chemical equation.Rate this question:

Pressure is the force per unit
-
Volume
-
Surface area
-
Length
-
Depth
Correct Answer
A. Surface areaExplanation
Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area. In this context, the correct answer is surface area because pressure is the force per unit surface area. It is a measure of how much force is applied over a given area. The larger the surface area, the lower the pressure, as the force is spread out over a larger area. Conversely, a smaller surface area will result in higher pressure, as the force is concentrated on a smaller area. Therefore, surface area is directly related to pressure.Rate this question:

If force is held cosntant as surface area decreases, pressure
-
Remains constant
-
Decreases
-
Increases
-
Increases or decreases, depending on the volume change
Correct Answer
A. IncreasesExplanation
As the surface area decreases while the force remains constant, the same force is applied over a smaller area. This results in a higher pressure because pressure is defined as force per unit area. So, as the area decreases, the force is distributed over a smaller area, leading to an increase in pressure.Rate this question:

What does the constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produce?
-
Temperature
-
Density
-
Pressure
-
Diffusion
Correct Answer
A. PressureExplanation
The constant bombardment of gas molecules against the inside walls of a container produces pressure. When gas molecules collide with the walls of the container, they exert a force, which creates pressure. The more frequently and forcefully the molecules collide, the higher the pressure. Pressure is a measure of the force exerted per unit area, and it is a result of the random motion of gas molecules.Rate this question:

Which instrument measures atomospheric pressure?
-
Barometer
-
Manometer
-
Vacuum pump
-
Torrometer
Correct Answer
A. BarometerExplanation
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It works by balancing the pressure exerted by the atmosphere with the pressure exerted by a column of liquid, usually mercury or water. Changes in atmospheric pressure cause the liquid level in the barometer to rise or fall, indicating changes in weather conditions. A manometer, on the other hand, measures pressure in closed systems, such as gas tanks or pipes, while a vacuum pump is used to create a vacuum by removing air or gas from a sealed space. A torrometer is not a valid instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. ManometerExplanation
A manometer is an instrument used to measure the pressure of an enclosed gas. It consists of a U-shaped tube filled with a liquid, such as mercury or water, and the gas pressure is measured by the difference in height of the liquid in the two arms of the tube. This device is commonly used in various applications, such as monitoring gas pressure in pipes, tanks, or other closed systems. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, a vacuum pump creates a vacuum, and a torrometer is not a recognized instrument.Rate this question:

-
760 cm high
-
1.00 m high
Correct Answer
A. 760 mm highExplanation
Standard pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 760 mm high. This is because the unit of pressure, called the torr, is based on the height of a column of mercury in a barometer. At sea level, the average atmospheric pressure is equal to the weight of a column of mercury that is 760 mm high. Therefore, 760 mm is the standard height used to measure pressure in this context.Rate this question:

-
760 mm high
-
760 cm high
-
1.00 m high
Correct Answer
A. 760 mm highExplanation
Standard pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a column of mercury exactly 760 mm high. This is because the unit of pressure, called the atmosphere (atm), was originally defined as the average pressure at sea level. To measure this pressure, a barometer is used, which consists of a column of mercury in a tube. When the height of the mercury column is 760 mm, it balances the atmospheric pressure and is considered the standard reference point for pressure measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is 760 mm high.Rate this question:

A sample of oxygen occupies 560. mL when the pressure is 800.00 mm Hg. At constant temperature, what volume does the gas occupy when the pressure decreases to 700.0 mm Hg
-
80.0 mL
-
490 mL
-
600 mL
-
640 mL
Correct Answer
A. 640 mLExplanation
According to Boyle's Law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when the temperature is constant. In this case, the initial volume of the oxygen is 560 mL and the initial pressure is 800.0 mm Hg. When the pressure decreases to 700.0 mm Hg, the volume of the gas will increase. Using the formula P1V1 = P2V2, we can calculate the final volume of the gas. Rearranging the formula, we get V2 = (P1V1)/P2. Plugging in the values, we get V2 = (800.0 mm Hg * 560 mL) / 700.0 mm Hg = 640 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 640 mL.Rate this question:

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
-
The number of gas molecules is increased
-
The number of gas molecules is decreased
-
The temperature is increased
-
The number of molecules is increased and the temperature is increased
Correct Answer
A. The number of gas molecules is decreasedExplanation
When the number of gas molecules is decreased, the gas pressure inside a container decreases. This is because with fewer gas molecules, there are fewer collisions between the molecules and the walls of the container, resulting in less force exerted on the walls. As a result, the gas pressure decreases.Rate this question:
