Question 1

A solution is prepared by dissolving 25 g of sugar in 100 g of water. Which of the following correctly identifies the solute and the solvent?

Accepted Answer

Sugar is the solute; water is the solvent.

Question 2

Which statement best explains the phrase 'like dissolves like' in chemistry?

Accepted Answer

Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

Question 3

Will oil (a nonpolar substance) dissolve in water (a polar substance)? Why or why not?

Accepted Answer

No, because nonpolar substances do not interact favorably with polar solvents like water.

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct formula for calculating pH from $$[H^+]$$?

Accepted Answer
