o   breaking of hydrogen bonds requires a lot of energy

o   removing hydrogen from the liquid requires a lot of enegy

o   energy is used to cool the water as it undergoes from liquid to gas

o   energy is consumed to form hydrogen bond

 

 

Question 2 of 10

Before the battery in the car is jumped, the individuals notice the hook-ups on the battery are corroded by acid. What substance can be used to clean the acid?

 

o   orange juice

o   baking soda

o   urine

o   black coffee

o   lemons

 

 

 Question 3 of 10

Normal (homeostatic) pH level of blood serum’s pH is around 7.4. Carbonic acid is released in the blood to help maintain a pH when the blood has high hydroxyl levels. This would cause pH to change from

 

o   basic to acidic

o   basic to neutral

o   neutral to basic

o   acidic to 7.4

o   basic to 7.4

 


Question 4 of 10

Carbon represents less than 1% of the Earth’s crust, but is 18% of the composition of living things. Why?

 

o   Living organisms sequester carbon to lower its toxicity to their cells.

o   Cytoplasm is composed largely of a liquid form of carbon.

o   Cell membranes are composed of layers of graphite.

o   The unique bonding properties of carbon allow it to create a huge variety of biological molecules.

o   This is a measure of waste gases like CO2 and CH4.

 

 

 Question 5 of 10

 In the early years, there were actually multiple ways of graphically representing information about the elements. The scientific community settled on the current one based on Mendeleev’s 1869 periodic table, because it is so useful.

 

Of the following statements about the periodic table, which one is INCORRECT?

 

o   The position of an element in the periodic table gives you a quick indication of what properties it has and how it is likely to behave.

o   The horizontal rows of the table, or periods, indicate chemical reactivity. For instance, the bottom row represents the unreactive noble gases.

o   Often the periodic table is color-coded to indicate similar types of elements. For instance, alkali metals, transition metals, nonmetals, or noble gases

o   As you move across the periodic table, it indicates the gradual filling of electron shells. When the outer shell is full of electrons, the element is a noble gas.

o   The vertical columns, or groups, indicate elements with similar chemical properties.

Question 8 of 10

Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14 are examples of

 

o   isomers

o   molecules

o   ions

o   isotopes

o   enantiomers

 

 

 

 Question 9 of 10

After 11,200 years, approximately _____________________ carbon-14 would remain in a sample of wood.

 

o   75%

o   50%

o   25%

o   12.5%
