1.

Water is polar because ___________

a)

the protons are evenly distributed among the two sides of the poles

the electrons are pulled stronger towards the oxygen

2.

Why does ice float on water?

The molecules (in ice) are farther apart

b)

The molecules (in ice) are closer together

c)

The molecules (in water) are closer together

d)

The molecule (in water) are farther apart

3.

Which of the following is the reason for water's versatility as a solvent?

a)

It forms covalent bonds with hydrophobic substances

b)

It forms hydrogen bonds with hydrophilic and ionic substances

c)

It forms hydrogen bonds with only hydrophilic substances

d)

It forms covalent bonds with hydrophilic and ionic substances

4.

How does water travel a tree's leaves from the roots?

a)

Because of the adhesive and cohesive abilities

b)

Because of the adhesive abilities

c)

Because of the cohesive abilities

d)

Water evaporates into water vapor and rises to the leaves of the tree

5.

Which of the following represent the proper way water's properties are useful in world?

a)

Some spiders are able to walk on water because of their low weight and their hydrophobic hairs on their legs.

b)

Trees are able to receive water from the roots to the leaves because water is a universal solvent. Which allows the small particles to easily dissolve and move up the tree.

c)

Many substances are dissolved in the cytoplasm (liquid portion) of a cell. Due to lipids being polar like water, they are able to move freely through the cytoplasm.

6.

This graph shows the temperature change of water and sand overtime. Which answers best represents why the water has a lower temperature?

a)

Water has many sea animals that are hydrophilic so they absorb the temperature of the water.

b)

Sand has a low specific heat.

c)

Water has a high specific heat.

d)

Water has a low specific heat

7.

If something is acidic there are

a)

more OH-

b)

less H+

c)

less OH-

d)

more H+

8.

What do buffers do?

a)

They donate more OH- when a substance is basic

b)

They donate more OH- when a substance is acidic

c)

They donate more H+ when a substance is basic

d)

They donate more H+ when a substance is acidic

9.

(a)   from around solutes to dissolve them by preventing substances to join together

10.

Why does water's molecular structure have a V-shape?

a)

Because the bonds are constantly breaking and joining

b)

Because the molecule's charge is unequally distributed

c)

Because hydrogen is more electronegative than oxygen

d)

Because the 2 hydrogen atoms are heavy so they pull downwards leaving the oxygen upwards
