2.

Why does ice float in water?

a)

Compared to water, the stronger bonds between molecules in ice require a molecular arrangement that results in greater volume per mass

b)

only ice that traps gas molecules will float in water

c)

only ice from salt water will float because of crystal imperfections that result in greater volume per mass.

3.

Which of the following is true regarding molecular formula for an ionic compound?

a)

Ionic compounds don't have molecular formula

b)

A molecule of ionic compounds is made up of the relative numbers of its constituent ions

4.

At what point does the following paragraph lead to a false conclusion


(1) A system having more potential energy requires comparatively less amount of energy to leave its current state, (2) and a system having less potential energy requires a larger amount of energy to leave the system. (3) The time a system spends in its current state depends on how probable it is to gain the extra energy. Therefore, lower the energy greater the stability.

a)

1

b)

2

c)

3

d)

Its fully true

5.

a)

H2O is more polar than HF.

b)

H2O can form a densely connected network of hydrogen bonds

c)

H2O has a higher molecular weight.

d)

H2O has more atoms.

e)

H2O does not have a higher boiling point than HF.

6.

What is the result of balancing between inter-molecular forces and thermal energy?

a)

Matter

b)

Three states of matter

c)

Four states of matter

d)

Chemical bond formation

b)

London dispersion, dipole - dipole interaction, ionic interaction

c)

London dispersion, bridge bonding, molecular orbitals

d)

8.

A more accurate definition for boiling point could be

a)

the temperature above which the substance cannot exist as a liquid regardless of the pressure.

b)

the temperature at which the gas molecules have more kinetic energy than the molecules in the liquid.

c)

the only temperature at which there can be equilibrium between liquid and gas.

d)

the temperature at which the vapor pressure equals 760 torr.

9.

a)

A

b)

B

c)

C

d)

D

10.

Non-polar molecules can contain polar bonds.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

Study the following paragraph and identify the point at which it turns false.


(1) Hydrophobic interactions are not really chemical bonds, but it is a phrase used to describe the relations between water and hydrophobes. (2) Water and fat doesn’t mix because the Van der Waals forces that are acting between water and fat molecules are repulsive. (3) This means that when fat molecules are introduced in water, they tend to form a droplet so as to reduce the surface area of interaction. (4) This is the driving force in the formation of micelles of amphipathic compounds in water.

a)

1

b)

2

c)

3

d)

4

e)

The paragraph is correct

a)

Cell membrane

b)

cytosol

c)

nucleus

d)

all of these

13.

Which of the following statements is true regarding an explosion?

a)

Unstable substances become stable in a violent reaction that takes place within a very short time span

b)

Stable substances become unstable in a violent reaction that takes place within a very short time span

c)

Stable substance are induced to be unstable and then they convert into stable substances through a violent reaction that takes place within a very short time span

14.

How could we make this reaction happen more quickly?

a)

Decrease the concentration of the acid

b)

crush the chalk to increase the surface area

c)

Put the test tube in an ice bath

15.

What criteria must be met for reactant collisions to result in a successful product?

16.

In a TLC experiment, a stationary phase with high surface area is made to adsorb a chemical sample. Using another liquid component called as the mobile phase the chemical sample is pushed along the stationary phase.

lane 2

b)

lane 3
