Question 2

Which of the following is NOT a learning objective for Module 1: Chemistry’s Basics?

Accepted Answer

Identify trends of the periodic table.

Question 3

A student is asked to balance the following chemical reaction: $\mathrm{C_2H_6 + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O}$. What is the correct set of coefficients?

Accepted Answer

$2, 7, 4, 6$

Question 4

Which of the following is a correct application of dimensional analysis for converting 25.0 grams of water to moles? (Molar mass of water = $18.0\ \mathrm{g/mol}$)

Accepted Answer

$25.0\ \mathrm{g} 	imes \frac{1\ \mathrm{mol}}{18.0\ \mathrm{g}}$

Question 5

Which statement best explains why boiling points of compounds increase with stronger intermolecular forces?

Accepted Answer

Stronger intermolecular forces require more energy to break, resulting in higher boiling points.

Question 6

Which of the following is a correct prediction for the solubility of NaCl in water?

Accepted Answer

NaCl is soluble in water because water is a polar solvent and NaCl is an ionic compound.

Question 7

Which equation correctly represents the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature for a gas (Ideal Gas Law)?

Accepted Answer

$PV = nRT$

Question 8

A radioactive isotope decays with a half-life of 10 years. If you start with 80 grams, how much remains after 30 years?

Accepted Answer

20 grams

Question 9

Which of the following is a correct statement about acids and bases in the body?

Accepted Answer

Acids donate protons (H+) and bases accept protons (H+).

Question 10

Which of the following is a product of the neutralization reaction between HCl and NaOH?

Accepted Answer

NaCl and H$_2$O

Question 11

Which of the following best describes the difference between covalent and ionic bonds?

Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, while ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons.

Question 12

Which of the following is a correct statement about the periodic table?

Accepted Answer

Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.

Question 13

Which formula is used to calculate the pH of a solution given the hydrogen ion concentration $[H^+]$?

Accepted Answer

$\mathrm{pH} = -\log_{10}[H^+]$

Question 14

Which of the following is a correct statement about endothermic chemical reactions?

Accepted Answer

Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings.

Question 15

Which of the following is a correct prediction for the effect of increasing temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

The rate of reaction increases as temperature increases.

Question 16

Which of the following is a correct statement about weak acids?

Accepted Answer

Weak acids partially dissociate in water.

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct application of the concept of molarity?

Accepted Answer

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Question 18

Which of the following is a correct statement about organic compounds?

Accepted Answer

Organic compounds are primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen.

Question 19

Which of the following is a correct prediction for the effect of pressure on the solubility of gases in liquids?

Accepted Answer

Increasing pressure increases the solubility of gases in liquids.
