What is adhesion?
- A.
Waters ability to stick to other materials
- B.
Waters ability to stick to itself
- C.
Covalent bonds in water
- D.
Capillary Action
Correct Answer
A. Waters ability to stick to other materialsExplanation
Adhesion refers to water's ability to stick to other materials. This property is due to the cohesive forces between water molecules and the molecules of other substances. When water comes into contact with a different material, such as glass or paper, the water molecules adhere to the surface of that material. This adhesion allows water to spread out and wet the surface, forming droplets or creating capillary action.Rate this question:

The water and air pressure lab:If the lab were done while climbing Mt. Everest, as altitude increases what happens?
- A.
As altitude increases, air becomes less dense and the air pressure decreases. The water would not shoot out of the container.
- B.
As altitude increases, air becomes more dense and the air pressure decreases. The water would not shoot out of the container.
- C.
As altitude increases, air becomes more dense and the air pressure increases. The water would shoot out of the container farther than in the classroom.
- D.
As altitude increases, air becomes less dense and the air pressure increases. The water would shoot out of the container farther than in the classroom.
Correct Answer
A. As altitude increases, air becomes less dense and the air pressure decreases. The water would not shoot out of the container.Explanation
As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense because there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on it. This decrease in air density also leads to a decrease in air pressure. Since the water in the container is subjected to the surrounding air pressure, which is now lower, it would not shoot out of the container. This is because there is less force pushing the water out due to the decreased air pressure at higher altitudes.Rate this question:

Think about Mt. Everest. Complete this statement: As altitude increases, air becomes.......
- A.
less dense, decreasing atmospheric pressure.
- B.
More dense, increasing atmospheric pressure.
- C.
less dense, increasing atmospheric pressure.
- D.
More dense, decreasing atmospheric pressure.
Correct Answer
A. less dense, decreasing atmospheric pressure.Explanation
As altitude increases, the air becomes less dense because the air molecules are more spread out. This decrease in density leads to a decrease in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, there is less air above, exerting less pressure on the surroundings. This is why climbers and pilots at high altitudes may experience difficulty breathing due to the reduced amount of oxygen in the air.Rate this question:

In the water pressure lab:What do you predict would happen to the water coming out of the container if the container holes were larger?
- A.
If the holes were larger, the volume of water flowing is greater, but slower with less pressure.
- B.
If the holes were larger, the volume of water flowing is less, but faster with more pressure.
- C.
If the holes were larger, the volume of water flowing is greater, faster and with more pressure.
- D.
If the holes were larger, the volume of water flowing is greater, faster and with less pressure.
Correct Answer
A. If the holes were larger, the volume of water flowing is greater, but slower with less pressure.Explanation
If the holes in the container were larger, it would allow more water to flow out of the container. However, because the holes are larger, the water would flow at a slower rate. This is because the larger holes would result in a decrease in pressure, causing the water to flow with less force. Therefore, if the holes were larger, the volume of water flowing would be greater, but the flow rate would be slower, and the pressure would be less.Rate this question:

In the water pressure labs:What would you predict about the water coming out of the container if the container holes were made smaller?
- A.
Water comes out of the container faster, is under greater pressure and there is less volume of water in the flow.
- B.
Water comes out of the container faster, is under less pressure and there is greater volume of water in the flow.
- C.
Water comes out of the container slower, is under greater pressure and there is less volume of water in the flow.
- D.
Water comes out of the container slower, is under less pressure and there is less volume of water in the flow.
Correct Answer
A. Water comes out of the container faster, is under greater pressure and there is less volume of water in the flow.Explanation
If the holes in the container are made smaller, the water will come out of the container faster because the smaller holes create a higher velocity for the water to flow through. Additionally, the water will be under greater pressure because the smaller holes create more resistance, causing the pressure to build up. Lastly, there will be less volume of water in the flow because the smaller holes restrict the amount of water that can pass through at a given time.Rate this question:

- A.
Cohesion and adhesion.
- B.
Surface tension and adhesion.
- C.
Cohesion and capillary action.
- D.
Adhesion and capillary action.
Correct Answer
A. Cohesion and adhesion.Explanation
The "Follow the String" activity demonstrates both cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion refers to the attraction between molecules of the same substance, while adhesion refers to the attraction between molecules of different substances. In this activity, the string is able to "follow" the water because the water molecules stick together (cohesion) and also stick to the surface of the string (adhesion). Therefore, both cohesion and adhesion are demonstrated in this activity.Rate this question:

A material that pulls moisture through by capillary action
- B.
Adhesion of water
- C.
Cohesion of water
- D.
Capillary Action of water
Correct Answer
A. A material that pulls moisture through by capillary actionExplanation
Wicking refers to the process in which a material draws moisture through by capillary action. Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow against gravity in a narrow space, such as through the tiny gaps between fibers in a fabric. When a material has good wicking properties, it can effectively absorb and transport moisture away from the surface, keeping the area dry and comfortable. This is commonly seen in clothing and textiles designed for sports or outdoor activities, where moisture management is crucial for maintaining comfort and preventing moisture-related issues such as sweat buildup or dampness.Rate this question:

Identify which property of water allows water to move against gravity.
- A.
Capillary Action allows water to move against gravity.
- B.
Surface tension allows water to move against gravity.
- C.
Cohesion allows water to move against gravity.
- D.
Universal solvency allows water to move against gravity.
Correct Answer
A. Capillary Action allows water to move against gravity.Explanation
Capillary action is the property of water that allows it to move against gravity. This phenomenon occurs due to the combination of cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules, causing them to stick together. Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances, such as the walls of a narrow tube. In capillary action, water molecules adhere to the walls of a narrow tube, and cohesion pulls other water molecules along, allowing water to move against gravity. Surface tension, on the other hand, is the force that causes the surface of a liquid to behave like a stretched elastic sheet, but it does not directly allow water to move against gravity. Universal solvency refers to water's ability to dissolve a wide range of substances and is not related to its ability to move against gravity.Rate this question:

Look at the diagram of capillary action in the tubes. Why does the water rise at different levels in each tube?
- A.
Capillary action causes the water to rise at different levels in the tubes because the rise depends on the diameter of the tube. The smaller the tube diameter the greater the rise of the water column in the tube.
- B.
Capillary action causes the water to rise at different levels in the tubes because the rise depends on the surface tension within the tube.
- C.
Capillary action causes the water to rise at different levels in the tubes because the rise depends on the pull of gravity on the tube.
- D.
Capillary action causes the water to rise at different levels in the tubes because the rise depends on the cohesion of adhered water to and among other water molecules to the surface.
Correct Answer
A. Capillary action causes the water to rise at different levels in the tubes because the rise depends on the diameter of the tube. The smaller the tube diameter the greater the rise of the water column in the tube.Explanation
The explanation for the given answer is that capillary action is the phenomenon in which liquids are pulled upward against gravity in narrow tubes or channels. This is due to the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube's surface. In the case of water rising in capillary tubes, the rise of the water column depends on the diameter of the tube. The smaller the diameter, the greater the rise of the water column because the cohesive forces are stronger, allowing the water to overcome gravity and climb higher in the tube.Rate this question:

What caused the water to climb higher on the paper towel than the oil?
- A.
The water climbs higher than the oil on the paper towel because oil is non-polar and its molecules don't easily cohere. Water has polar molecules that cohere to one another and adhere to surface of the paper towel allowing it to climb and pull other water molecules along.
- B.
The water climbs higher than the oil on the paper towel because oil is polar and does not attract to the paper towel which is non-polar. Water's non-polar molecules adhere to the paper towel.
- C.
The water climbs higher than the oil on the paper towel because oil is non-polar, its molecules cohere tightly to each other and and do not want to adhere to the polar paper towel.
- D.
The water climbs higher than the oil on the paper towel because the oil is hydrophilic and repels the paper towel.
Correct Answer
A. The water climbs higher than the oil on the paper towel because oil is non-polar and its molecules don't easily cohere. Water has polar molecules that cohere to one another and adhere to surface of the paper towel allowing it to climb and pull other water molecules along.Explanation
The correct answer is that water climbs higher than oil on a paper towel because oil is non-polar and its molecules do not easily stick together. On the other hand, water has polar molecules that attract and stick to each other, as well as to the surface of the paper towel. This cohesive and adhesive property of water allows it to climb and pull other water molecules along, resulting in a higher climb compared to oil.Rate this question:

Wicking Paper Towel Rope:How does water flow from cup A to cup B?
- A.
Water flows from cup A to cup B by capillary action.
- B.
Water flows from cup A to cup B by surface tension.
- C.
Water flows from cup A to cup B by polarity.
- D.
Water flows from cup A to cup B by gravity.
Correct Answer
A. Water flows from cup A to cup B by capillary action.Explanation
Capillary action is the process by which water is able to flow against gravity in narrow spaces, such as the fibers of a paper towel rope. This occurs due to the cohesive forces between water molecules, which allows them to "stick" together and move as a continuous column. As the water molecules are drawn into the small spaces between the fibers, they pull other water molecules along, resulting in the flow of water from cup A to cup B. Surface tension and polarity also play a role in capillary action, but the main driving force is the cohesive forces between water molecules. Gravity, on the other hand, would cause water to flow downward, not upward against gravity.Rate this question:

- A.
Some food coloring color pigments (purple for example) separated from the water and brokedown to its basic components while being wicked by the paper towel. Those colors (like purple) did not transfer but their base colors did transfer.
- B.
Some food coloring color pigments (purple for example) absorbed the color from the paper towel rope. This added to its basic color components and transferred a different color.
- C.
Some food coloring color pigments (purple for example) reflected the color of the paper towel rope. This caused the color that was transferred to be brighter.
- D.
Some food coloring color pigments (purple for example) were left behind completely causing the water in cup A to be purple and the water in cup B to be clear.
Correct Answer
A. Some food coloring color pigments (purple for example) separated from the water and brokedown to its basic components while being wicked by the paper towel. Those colors (like purple) did not transfer but their base colors did transfer.Explanation
When the food coloring is wicked by the paper towel, some color pigments (such as purple) separate from the water and break down into their basic components. These colors do not transfer to cup B, but their base colors do transfer. This means that while the original color (purple) does not transfer, the underlying colors that make up purple (such as red and blue) do transfer, resulting in a different color in cup B.Rate this question:

Magic Milk: What causes the food coloring to burst away from the drop of soap?
- A.
Milk is mostly water, but it also contains tiny droplets of fat (lipid) suspended in the milk. Fats and proteins are sensitive to changes in the surrounding solution (the milk). Like other oils, milk fat is a non-polar molecule. It doesn’t dissolve in water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to break up and collect the fat molecules in the milk. Soap micelles surround the milk fat. As the soap molecules race around, bending and twisting to join up with the molecules of milk fat, it sends a ripple through the milk in all directions. The food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere. As the soap joins up with as many molecules as it can the action slows down and eventually stops. This is why milk with a higher fat content produces a better explosion of color—there’s just more fat to combine with all of those soap molecules.

The fat molecules in milk are non-polar and do not dissolve in water. When a drop of soap is added to the milk, it breaks up and collects the fat molecules. Soap micelles surround the milk fat and as they move around, they cause a ripple effect through the milk. This movement of the soap molecules bumps and shoves the food coloring molecules, resulting in the burst of color. The more fat content in the milk, the better the explosion of color, as there are more fat molecules to combine with the soap molecules.Rate this question:

This is because oil is less dense than water, so the oil sits on top of the water. The food coloring, being water-based, is more dense than the oil and slowly sinks through it. When it reaches the intersection of the oil and water, it sinks through and the bead of food coloring bursts apart, dissolving in the water.Rate this question:

A general rule in chemistry is that "like dissolves like". This rule means that a solvent will dissolve substances that are covalently bonded.
Correct Answer
A. A general rule in chemistry is that "like dissolves like". This rule means that a solvent will dissolve substances that have similar molecular structures.Explanation
The correct answer is that a solvent will dissolve substances that have similar molecular structures. This is because the phrase "like dissolves like" refers to the idea that substances with similar chemical properties and intermolecular forces are more likely to dissolve in each other. Therefore, a solvent with a similar molecular structure to a solute will have compatible intermolecular forces and be able to dissolve the solute.Rate this question:

- C.
When a molecular compound dissolves, the molecules move toward the Hydrogen and the individual molecules break apart.
- D.
When a molecular compound dissolves, the molecules separate and are distributed evenly over the whole water molecule.
Correct Answer
A. When a molecular compound dissolves, the molecules move toward the water molecules and away from one another, the individual molecules do not break apart.Explanation
When a molecular compound dissolves, the molecules move towards the water molecules and away from one another, indicating that the individual molecules do not break apart. This explanation suggests that the intermolecular forces between the solute molecules and the solvent (water) molecules are stronger than the forces holding the solute molecules together. As a result, the solute molecules disperse throughout the solvent, but their chemical structure remains intact.Rate this question:
