What type of flask is this?
-
Erlenmeyer
-
Volumetric
Correct Answer
A. VolumetricExplanation
The flask in question is most likely a volumetric flask. This is because an Erlenmeyer flask typically has a conical shape with a wide base and narrow neck, while a volumetric flask has a more cylindrical shape with a narrow neck and a flat bottom. Since the flask in question is not described as having a conical shape, it is more likely to be a volumetric flask.Rate this question:

How do you dilute a strong acid?
-
Add a base to the acid
-
Add water to acid
-
Add acid to water
-
You can't
Correct Answer
A. Add acid to waterExplanation
To dilute a strong acid, it is important to add acid to water. This is because adding water to acid can cause a violent reaction due to the release of heat. By slowly adding acid to water while stirring, the heat generated can be dissipated more effectively, preventing any hazards. This method ensures a safer and controlled dilution process.Rate this question:

Why do we use a fluted filter to filter a solid from a liquid?
-
It allows the liquid to pass through and not the solid.
-
It is more efficient at displacing the air in the vessel where the liquid is filtered.
-
It is faster.
Correct Answer
A. It is more efficient at displacing the air in the vessel where the liquid is filtered.Explanation
The fluted filter is more efficient at displacing the air in the vessel where the liquid is filtered. This is because the fluted design creates more surface area for the liquid to flow through, allowing for better air displacement. As a result, the solid particles are effectively filtered out while the liquid can pass through easily. The other options, such as allowing the liquid to pass through and not the solid or being faster, do not directly relate to the use of a fluted filter for air displacement.Rate this question:

Never heat stoppered
Correct Answer
liquids or solids
solids or liquidsExplanation
The correct answer is "liquids or solids, solids or liquids". This answer suggests that both liquids and solids should not be heated when they are stoppered. This is because stoppering can create pressure buildup inside the container, which can be dangerous when heated. Therefore, it is important to remove the stopper before heating any liquid or solid to avoid any potential accidents or explosions.Rate this question:

Place beakers, flasks, and evaporating dishes on what to spread the heat while using a ring stand
-
Wire gauze
-
Pipstem triangle
Correct Answer
A. Wire gauzeExplanation
Wire gauze is used to spread the heat evenly when using a ring stand. It acts as a support for beakers, flasks, and evaporating dishes, allowing the heat to be distributed more evenly across the bottom of the container. This prevents localized heating and helps to prevent the glassware from cracking or breaking due to sudden temperature changes. The wire gauze also helps to protect the underlying surface from direct contact with the heat source, reducing the risk of damage.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements about transition metal complexes is INCORRECT?
-
They often exhibit vibrant colors due to d-d electron transitions.
-
They can have variable oxidation states.
-
They typically form tetrahedral or square planar complexes.
-
They can exhibit paramagnetism due to unpaired electrons.
Correct Answer
A. They typically form tetrahedral or square planar complexes.Explanation
While transition metal complexes can adopt tetrahedral or square planar geometries, they are more commonly found in octahedral geometries, where the central metal ion is coordinated to six ligands. This preference for octahedral coordination is due to factors like ligand field stabilization energy and steric considerations.Rate this question:

To avoid losing some of your samples due to super heating you
-
Heat on a high temperature
-
Heat gently
Correct Answer
A. Heat gentlyExplanation
Heating gently is the correct answer because when samples are heated on a high temperature, there is a higher chance of super heating, which can cause the samples to boil violently and potentially result in loss of samples. By heating gently, the samples can be heated slowly and evenly, reducing the risk of super heating and ensuring that the samples are not lost.Rate this question:

Use the when evaporating hazardous solvents or materials
Correct Answer
Fume hoodExplanation
A fume hood is used when evaporating hazardous solvents or materials. It is a type of ventilation system that is designed to limit exposure to harmful fumes, vapors, or dusts. It works by drawing air away from the user and into the hood, which is then either filtered or exhausted to the outside. This helps to protect the user from inhaling or coming into contact with potentially dangerous substances.Rate this question:

Should you set the stopper on the table
-
Yes
-
No
Correct Answer
A. NoExplanation
The question is asking whether or not you should set the stopper on the table. The correct answer is "No" because setting the stopper on the table implies that it should be placed there permanently or for an extended period of time, which is not necessary or recommended. The stopper should only be used when needed, such as to stopper a bottle or container temporarily, and then it should be put away in a proper place.Rate this question:
