Question 3

Which of the following is a correct classification of matter according to the diagram?

Accepted Answer

A solution is a homogeneous mixture.

Question 4

Which property of water makes it the 'universal solvent'?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Hexane ($$\mathrm{C_6H_{14}})$$

Question 6

What happens when NaCl is dissolved in water?

Accepted Answer

NaCl dissociates into $$\mathrm{Na^+}$$ and $$\mathrm{Cl^-}$$ ions.

Question 7

Which of the following solutions is saturated at 40°C if the solubility of KBr is 80 g/100 g H$$_2O$$?

Accepted Answer

200 g KBr in 200 g H$$_2O$$

Question 8

Why does a carbonated drink potentially burst when left in the hot sun?

Accepted Answer

The solubility of the gas decreases with temperature, causing CO$$_2 to $$escape.

Question 9

According to Henry’s law, what happens to the solubility of a gas in a liquid as the pressure of the gas above the liquid increases?

Accepted Answer

Solubility increases.

Question 10

Which of the following compounds is soluble in water according to the solubility rules?

Accepted Answer

NH$$_4NO$_3$$

Question 11

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Ag^+ (aq) + PO_4$^{3-} (aq) \rightarrow Ag_3PO_4 (s)}$$

Question 12

Which of the following is a strong electrolyte?

Accepted Answer

NaCl (aq)

Question 13

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 0.066 moles of potassium chloride in 0.022 L of water?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{0.066}{0.022} = 3.0\ \mathrm{M}$$

Question 14
