Accepted Answer

The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Question 5

Which of the following is a functional group commonly found in organic compounds and is responsible for acidic properties?

Accepted Answer

Carboxyl group ($$-COOH)$$

Question 6

A buffer solution is prepared by mixing acetic acid ($$CH_3COOH) $$and sodium acetate ($$CH_3COONa). $$What is the primary function of this buffer in a biological system?

Accepted Answer

To maintain a constant pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.

Question 7

Which equation correctly represents the stoichiometry of the combustion of methane ($$CH_4) in $$oxygen?

Accepted Answer

$$CH_4 + 2O_2$$ \rightarrow $$CO_2 + 2H_2O$

Question 8

A patient’s blood pH drops from 7.4 to 7.1. Which term best describes this condition?

Accepted Answer

Acidosis

Question 9

Which of the following best explains the role of enzymes in biological reactions?

Accepted Answer

Enzymes act as catalysts, lowering the activation energy and increasing reaction rates.

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating the molarity ($$M) of a $$solution?

Accepted Answer

$$M = \dfrac{	ext{moles of solute}}{	ext{liters of solution}}$$

Question 11

A student mixes 0.50 mol of $$NaOH$$ with 0.50 mol of $$HCl in $$water. What is the final pH of the solution?

Accepted Answer

pH $$= 7$$

Question 12

Which of the following is a correct example of dimensional analysis for converting 100 mL to liters?

Accepted Answer

$$100 \ mL 	imes \dfrac{1 \ L}{1000 \ mL} = 0.1 \ L$$

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the role of nucleic acids in living organisms?

Accepted Answer

They store and transmit genetic information.

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT a carbohydrate?

Accepted Answer

Glycine

Question 15

A solution contains 0.2 mol of $$KCl$$ dissolved in 500 mL of water. What is the molarity of the solution?

Accepted Answer

$$0.4 \ M$$

Question 16

Which of the following statements about equilibrium is correct?

Accepted Answer

At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products do not change over time.

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct example of a chemical reaction involving an enzyme?

Accepted Answer

Catalase catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide ($$2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2$).

Question 18

Which of the following best describes the concept of bioenergetics?

Accepted Answer

The study of how organisms obtain and use energy for biological processes.

Question 19

A student is asked to predict the outcome of mixing 0.1 mol $$H_2SO_4$$ with 0.1 mol $$NaOH. $$What is the resulting solution's pH likely to be?

Accepted Answer

Slightly acidic, because $$H_2SO_4 is a $$strong diprotic acid and only one mole of $$NaOH is $$present.
