3.

Why does a solvent (water) dissolve a solute (sugar) faster when it is hot?

a)

There is more space between the particles of the solvent.

b)

The solute particles get "bumped" more by the solvent.

c)

The solvent particles are moving faster.

d)

All of the above.

4.

What is the BEST answer to why metal is hard?

a)

It is a solid.

b)

The particles are very attracted to each other so they are much closer together (denser).

It is metal and metals are hard.

d)

It is a conductor.

5.

When a solute (sugar) dissolves in a solvent (water), where do the solute particles go?

a)

In between the solvent particles.

b)

The solute combines with the solvent particles.

the solvent.

7.

Why does a solute (sugar, salt, etc.) dissolve into a solvent (water, ethanol, etc.)

a)

They fit together like puzzle pieces.

b)

The solute is more attracted to the solvent than it is to itself.

c)

...you CAN see the separate parts and you CANNOT separate them by hand.

d)

...you CANNOT see the separate parts and you CAN separate them by hand.

14.

Why do particles come closer together when they loose energy?

a)

...the attractive forces between the particles pull them back together.

b)

...they dissolve.

c)

...they become a solid.
