    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 materials
    Explanation
    Adhesion refers to the ability of water to stick to other materials. This means that water molecules can form attractive forces with the molecules of other substances, allowing them to adhere or cling together. This property is essential for various biological processes, such as the movement of water through plants and the ability of water to wet surfaces. Adhesion is different from cohesion, which refers to the ability of water molecules to stick to each other.

    Identify the property of water that allows a water strider insect to walk on the water.

    • A. 

      Surface Tension

    • B. 

      Polarity

    • C. 

      Capillary Action

    • D. 

      Specific Heat

    Correct Answer
    A. Surface Tension
    Explanation
    Water has a property called surface tension, which is the force that allows it to resist external forces and form a "skin" on its surface. This property is what allows water strider insects to walk on water. The surface tension of water creates a thin layer on the surface that can support the weight of the insect. As the insect distributes its weight across multiple legs, it can effectively "float" on the surface of the water without sinking.

    Ionic Bonding satisfies both atoms because.....

    • A. 

      Ionic bonding is the trading or transfer of electrons from one atom to another that enables the atoms to have complete outer shells.

    • B. 

      Ionic bonding removes weak electrons from one atom enabling another atom to have strong electronegativity in its outer shell.

    • C. 

      Ionic bonding enables one atom to release an electron and vacate its outer shell.

    • D. 

      Ionic bonding is the sharing of electrons of atoms that enable the atoms to have complete outer shells.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ionic bonding is the trading or transfer of electrons from one atom to another that enables the atoms to have complete outer shells.
    Explanation
    Ionic bonding is the process of transferring electrons from one atom to another, resulting in both atoms having complete outer shells. This satisfies both atoms because having a complete outer shell is energetically favorable and stable. By transferring electrons, one atom gains a positive charge (cation) while the other gains a negative charge (anion), creating an electrostatic attraction between the two oppositely charged ions. This attraction holds the ions together in a solid lattice, forming an ionic compound.

    What do these symbols​ mean?     or  

    • A. 

      These symbols​ mean that the atom has either a slight (partial) positive or negative charge.

    • B. 

      These symbols​ mean that the molecule has either a slight (partial) positive or negative charge.

    • C. 

      These symbols​ mean that the atom has a positive or negative electronegativity.

    • D. 

      These symbols​ mean that the atom is polar.

    Correct Answer
    A. These symbols​ mean that the atom has either a slight (partial) positive or negative charge.
    Explanation
    The symbols "    or  " are commonly used in chemistry to represent a partial charge on an atom. It indicates that the atom has either a slight positive or negative charge. This notation is often used in molecular structures to show the distribution of electron density within a molecule. The positive or negative charge can result from differences in electronegativity between atoms, causing an unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. Therefore, the correct answer is that these symbols mean that the atom has either a slight (partial) positive or negative charge.

       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. This means that there are fewer air molecules in a given volume of space. As a result, the air pressure decreases. In the context of the water and air pressure lab, this decrease in air pressure would prevent the water from shooting out of the container. This is because the pressure inside the container would be greater than the surrounding air pressure, causing the water to stay inside rather than being forced out.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    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. This means that there are fewer air molecules in a given volume of space, resulting in a decrease in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower because there is less air above pushing down. This is why climbers experience difficulty breathing at high altitudes, as there is less oxygen available due to the decreased density of the air.

    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. 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, the volume of water flowing would be greater, but the speed of the flow would be slower, and the pressure would be lower.

  • 12. 

    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, it would result in an increased pressure inside the container. This increased pressure would cause the water to come out of the container faster. Additionally, the smaller holes would restrict the flow, resulting in less volume of water in the flow. Therefore, the correct answer is that the water comes out of the container faster, is under greater pressure, and there is less volume of water in the flow.

    Water Pressure Lab: Observe these containers:Identify: when is the bottle of water under the greatest pressure?

    • A. 

      Bottle with the cap off

    • B. 

      Bottle with the cap-on

    • C. 

      Cap-on, bottle with the narrowest opening

    • D. 

      Cap-on, bottle with the widest opening

    Correct Answer
    A. Bottle with the cap off
    Explanation
    The bottle of water is under the greatest pressure when the cap is off because there is no barrier to prevent the water from flowing out freely. When the cap is on, the pressure inside the bottle is reduced because the cap restricts the flow of water. Therefore, the bottle with the cap off has the highest pressure compared to the other options.

    • B. 

      Uncapped, top hole

    • C. 

      Uncapped, middle hole

    • D. 

      Capped, middle hole

    Correct Answer
    A. Capped, top hole
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer is that when the hole is un-taped, the capped top hole will have the least amount of water coming out. This is because the cap prevents water from flowing out freely, reducing the water pressure and resulting in a lower amount of water coming out compared to the other holes.

    Explanation
    The meniscus formed in a graduated cylinder is caused by adhesion, which is the attraction between the water molecules and the glass surface of the cylinder. Adhesion allows the water molecules to cling to the sides of the cylinder, causing the curved shape of the meniscus. Cohesion, on the other hand, refers to the attraction between water molecules themselves. Surface tension is the result of cohesive forces, creating a "skin" on the surface of the water. Capillary action is the ability of water to move against gravity in narrow spaces, also due to cohesive and adhesive forces.

    • 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 process by which water is able to move against gravity in narrow spaces, such as small tubes or gaps in soil. This is due to the cohesive forces between water molecules and the adhesive forces between water and the surfaces of the narrow spaces. These forces allow water to "climb" up the narrow spaces, defying the force of gravity. Surface tension, cohesion, and universal solvency are properties of water, but they do not specifically enable water to move against gravity.

    • 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
    Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces against the force of gravity. It occurs due to the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the surface of the tube. In the case of capillary action, the rise of water in the tube depends on the diameter of the tube. The smaller the diameter, the greater the rise of the water column because the cohesive forces between the water molecules are stronger in a narrower space, allowing the water to climb higher against gravity.

    The food coloring pigments in cup A separated from the water and broke down into their basic components while being absorbed by the paper towel. These pigments, such as purple, did not transfer to cup B, but their base colors did transfer. This explains why cup B had a different color than cup A.

    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.

    • B. 

      Milk is mostly water, but it also contains tiny droplets of fat (lipid) suspended in the milk. Fats are sensitive to changes in the milk. Milk fat is a non-polar molecule. It doesn’t dissolve in water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to break the surface tension of the fat. The soap micelles surround the milk fat and form big color beads that roll around and bump the food coloring in all directions. The food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere.

    • C. 

      Milk is all fat with a little water. Milk is sensitive to changes in the water. The tiny drop of soap is enough to turn the fat into a polar molecule and attract the water and food coloring. This causes the ripple of color in the milk.

    • D. 

      Water is non-polar. Milk has fat and is non-polar and polar. When soap is introduced, the surface tension of the milk is broken and the milk fats chase the food coloring molecules to attach to them. This causes the ripple of color in the milk.

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.
    Explanation
    The correct answer explains that milk contains tiny droplets of fat suspended in the water. These fat molecules are non-polar and do not dissolve in water. When a drop of soap is added to the milk, it collects and breaks up the fat molecules. Soap molecules surround the fat, causing a ripple effect through the milk. This movement bumps and shoves the food coloring molecules, creating a burst of color. The more fat content in the milk, the more fat molecules there are to combine with the soap, resulting in a better explosion of color.

      This photo shows celery has a healthy stalk.

    Correct Answer
    A. This photo shows one of the red dyed celery stalk capillary tubes.
    Explanation
    This photo shows one of the red dyed celery stalk capillary tubes. The image likely depicts a close-up view of a celery stalk that has been dyed red. The capillary tubes in the celery stalk are responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant. By dyeing the celery stalk, the capillary tubes become more visible, allowing for a better understanding of how water and nutrients are transported within the plant.

    Dome-de-Dome What did the Dome-de-Dome activity demonstrate?

    • A. 

      Dome-de-dome demonstrated that on a sheet of wax paper a bead of water is very cohesive and sticks together tightly due to its polarity and that a bead of oil that is non-polar is less cohesive and spreads out further and is flatter on the wax paper.

    • B. 

      Dome-de-dome demonstrated that on a sheet of wax paper a bead of water is very adhesive and sticks to the wax paper because of its polarity and that a bead of oil that is non-polar does not stick to the wax paper.

    • C. 

      Dome-de-dome demonstrated that on a sheet of wax paper a bead of water spreads out further and is flatter on the wax paper than the oil because it is polar.

    • D. 

      Dome-de-dome demonstrated that on a sheet of wax paper a bead of oil is polar and sticks to the wax paper spreading flatter across the wax paper.

    Correct Answer
    A. Dome-de-dome demonstrated that on a sheet of wax paper a bead of water is very cohesive and sticks together tightly due to its polarity and that a bead of oil that is non-polar is less cohesive and spreads out further and is flatter on the wax paper.
    Explanation
    The Dome-de-Dome activity demonstrated that on a sheet of wax paper, a bead of water is very cohesive and sticks together tightly due to its polarity. In contrast, a bead of oil that is non-polar is less cohesive and spreads out further, resulting in a flatter shape on the wax paper.

    Beads of Water and Oil:What do these images show about how water and oil behave on wax paper?

    • A. 

      These images show that on a hydrophobic surface such as wax paper, water will bead up very tightly and be able to roll around. This is because the water is not attracted to the wax paper and does not want to interact with it. It shows that on a hydrophilic surface water will lay flatter because it is attracted to the surface.

    • B. 

      These images show that on a hydrophilic surface such as wax paper, water will bead up very tightly and be able to roll around. This is because the water is attracted to the wax paper and does wants to interact with it. It shows that on a hydrophobic surface water will lay flatter because it is not attracted to the surface.

    • C. 

      These images show that oil will lay flatter on a hydrophilic surface and bead up on a hydrophobic surface.

    • D. 

      These images show that oil is hydrophobic and will be attracted to wax paper.

    Correct Answer
    A. These images show that on a hydrophobic surface such as wax paper, water will bead up very tightly and be able to roll around. This is because the water is not attracted to the wax paper and does not want to interact with it. It shows that on a hydrophilic surface water will lay flatter because it is attracted to the surface.
    Explanation
    The explanation provided in the answer is correct. The images show that on a hydrophobic surface like wax paper, water forms tight beads and can roll around because it is not attracted to the surface and does not want to interact with it. On the other hand, on a hydrophilic surface, water lays flatter because it is attracted to the surface. This behavior is due to the difference in the interaction between water and the surface, which is determined by the surface's hydrophobic or hydrophilic nature.

    You Can't Fix What Won't Mix:What causes the food coloring to behave as it does when it is dropped into the graduated cylinder of oil and water? 

    • A. 

      Since oil is less dense than water, the oil sits on top of the water. When it's dropped into the cylinder and hits the oil first, the food coloring forms a tight bead because it does not want to mix with the oil. Because the food coloring is water based, it 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 then the bead of food coloring bursts apart dissolving in the water.

    • B. 

      Since oil is more dense than water, the water sits on top of the oil. When it's dropped into the cylinder and hits the water first, the food coloring forms a tight bead because it does not want to mix with it. Because the food coloring is oil based, it is more dense than the water and slowly sinks through it. When it reaches the intersection of the oil and water it sinks through and then bursts apart.

    • C. 

      The food coloring is oil based and floats through the water to reach the oil.

    • D. 

      The food coloring is more dense than the oil and the water and floats through the oil to reach the water. When the food coloring reaches the water it absorbs it.

    Correct Answer
    A. Since oil is less dense than water, the oil sits on top of the water. When it's dropped into the cylinder and hits the oil first, the food coloring forms a tight bead because it does not want to mix with the oil. Because the food coloring is water based, it 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 then the bead of food coloring bursts apart dissolving in the water.
    Explanation
    When food coloring is dropped into the graduated cylinder of oil and water, the oil, being less dense than water, sits on top of the water. When the food coloring hits the oil first, it forms a tight bead because it does not want to mix with the oil. However, because the food coloring is water-based and more dense than the oil, it slowly sinks through the oil. Once it reaches the intersection of the oil and water, it sinks through and the bead of food coloring bursts apart, dissolving in the water.

      Polarity

    • B. 

      Specific heat

    • C. 

      Universal solvency

    • D. 

      Surface tension

    Correct Answer
    A. Polarity
    Explanation
    The diagram represents the property of water known as polarity. Polarity refers to the uneven distribution of electrical charge within a molecule. In the case of water, the oxygen atom is slightly negative, while the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other, giving water its unique properties such as high boiling point, surface tension, and the ability to dissolve many substances.
