Question 11

Which of the following is a correct statement about the common ion effect?

Accepted Answer

Adding a common ion decreases the solubility of a salt.

Question 12

Which of the following best explains why ice floats on water?

Accepted Answer

Ice is less dense than liquid water because its molecules form an open hexagonal structure due to hydrogen bonding.

Question 13

Which of the following is the correct formula for the equilibrium constant $$K_c$$ for the reaction $$\ce{2NO_2(g)  N_2O_4(g)}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$K_c = \dfrac{[N_2O_4]}{[NO_2$]^2}$$

Question 14

A patient is given a saline IV solution that is hypotonic relative to their blood plasma. What is the most likely effect on the patient's red blood cells?

Accepted Answer

The cells will swell and may burst due to water entering the cells.

Question 15

Which of the following is a correct statement about transition metal complexes?

Accepted Answer

The color of a transition metal complex is due to d-d electron transitions.

Question 16

Which of the following functional groups is present in all amino acids?

Accepted Answer

A carboxyl group ($$-\ce{COOH}) $$and an amino group ($$-\ce{NH_2$})$$

Question 17

Which of the following best describes the role of DNA in living organisms?

Accepted Answer

DNA stores genetic information and directs the synthesis of proteins.

Question 18

Which of the following statements about polymers is correct?

Accepted Answer

Polymers are large molecules made by linking together many small repeating units called monomers.

Question 19

Which of the following best explains why increasing the temperature generally increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

Accepted Answer

Higher temperature increases the number of effective collisions between reactant molecules.

Question 20

Which of the following is a correct application of Le Châtelier's Principle in a real-world scenario?

Accepted Answer
