Which of the following best explains why you must 'shake well before using' some liquid medications?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the suspended particles are evenly distributed, forming a suspension.

Question 11

What is the new freezing point of water if $$1$$ mole of $$\mathrm{$$CaCl_2$$} is $$dissolved in $$1 kg of $$water? ($$K_f = 1.86\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}/m)$$

Accepted Answer

$$-5.58\ ^\circ\mathrm{C}$$

Question 12

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the separation of particles in mixtures?

Accepted Answer

$$m = \dfrac{	ext{moles of solute}}{	ext{kilograms of solvent}}$$

Question 19

A water-treatment plant adds aluminum sulfate to untreated water. What is the purpose of this process?

Accepted Answer

To react with impurities and form large suspended particles (floc) that can be filtered out.
