AP Bio Chapter 3 Water

Can the atomic mass of an element vary?

• No, it's fixed; otherwise a new element will be formed.

• Yes. Adding or losing electrons will substantially change the atomic mass.

• Yes. Adding or losing protons will change the atomic mass without forming a different element.

• Yes. Adding or losing neutrons will change the atomic mass without forming a different element.

Low humidity in the atmosphere on a hot day _____

• helps in cooling because skin absorbs water from the atmosphere

• does not help in cooling because water evaporates from skin faster

• helps in cooling because water evaporates from the skin faster

• does not help in cooling because skin absorbs water from the atmosphere

Why does ice float in water?

• The high surface tension of liquid water keeps the ice on top.

• The ionic bonds between the molecules in ice prevent the ice from sinking.

• Stable hydrogen bonds keep water molecules of ice farther apart than water molecules of liquid water.

• The crystalline lattice of ice causes it to be denser than liquid water.

the molar mass of glucose is 180 grams per mole (g/mol). Which of the following procedures should you carry out to make a 1 M solution of glucose? In 0.8 liter (L) of water dissolve ________.

• 1 g of glucose, and then add more water until the total volume of the solution is 1 L.

• 18 g of glucose, and then add more water until the total volume of the solution is 1 L.

• 180 g of glucose, and then add 0.2 L more of water

• 180 g of glucose, and then add more water until the total volume of the solution is 1 L.
