1.

Which term describes the substance that is being dissolved in a solution?

a)

Solute

b)

Solvent

c)

Conductivity

d)

Concentration

2.

A maximum of 60g of KNO3 dissolves in 100g of water at 40oC. If 40g are stirred into 100mL of water, what type of solution will be formed?

a)

A saturated solution, because 40g is less than the maximum solubility at this temperature.

b)

An unsaturated solution, because 40g is less than the maximum amount that can dissolve at 40°C.

c)

A supersaturated solution, because more than the usual amount of solute has been dissolved.

d)

 A partially saturated solution, because only part of the solute will dissolve.

3.

Which term describes the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent?

a)

Solvent

b)

Concentration

c)

Solute

d)

Conductivity

4.

Which solution will have the highest conductivity?

a)

Sugar solution, because sugar molecules dissociate into ions when dissolved in water.

b)

NaCl solution, because NaCl dissociates into ions, which allow the solution to conduct electricity.

c)

NaCl solution, because sugar solutions do not conduct electricity.

d)

Sugar solution, because sugar is a better conductor than NaCl.

5.

This picture represents a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate. After the sodium acetate stops forming crystals, what is the remaining liquid?

a)

The remaining liquid is a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate in water.

b)

The remaining liquid will be a saturated solution of sodium acetate in water.

c)

The remaining liquid is an unsaturated solution of sodium acetate in water.

d)

The remaining liquid contains only water because the sodium acetate formed crystals.

6.

How does temperature affect the rate at which solutes dissolve in a specific solvent?

a)

Temperature decreases the rate

b)

Higher temperature increases the rate

c)

Lower temperature increases the rate

d)

Temperature has no effect

7.

How does surface area affect the rate at which solutes dissolve in a specific solvent?

a)

Larger surface area increases the rate

b)

Smaller surface area increases the rate

c)

Surface area has no effect

d)

Surface area decreases the rate

8.

How does agitation affect the rate at which solutes dissolve in a specific solvent?

a)

Agitation decreases the rate

b)

Agitation increases the rate

c)

Agitation causes separation

d)

Agitation has no effect

9.

What are ways to increase the rate of dissolving a solute? Select all that apply.

a)

Heat it

b)

Crush it

c)

Stir it

d)

Vaporize it

10.

What does a solubility curve represent?

a)

The effect of temperature on solubility

b)

The effect of pressure on solubility

c)

The effect of concentration on solubility

d)

The effect of agitation on solubility

11.

How does temperature affect the solubility of most solid solutes?

a)

Temperature decreases solubility

b)

Temperature has no effect

c)

Higher temperature increases solubility

d)

Lower temperature increases solubility

12.

How does temperature affect the solubility of most gaseous solutes?

a)

Higher temperature decreases solubility

b)

Temperature has no effect

c)

Lower temperature increases solubility

d)

Higher temperature increases solubility

13.

Which solutes solubility increases the most as temperature increase?

a)

Ba(NO3)2

b)

Ce2(SO4)

c)

Na2HAsO4

d)

NaCl

14.

40 g of which substance is saturated in 100 g of water at a temperature of 300C?

a)

KCl

b)

NaCl

c)

KNO3

d)

NH4Cl

15.

What ion is present in acids?

a)

H+

b)

OH-

c)

Na+

d)

Cl-

16.

What ion is present in bases?

a)

Cl-

b)

Na+

c)

OH-

d)

H+

17.

Since HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a gas, scientists have to bubble it through water to make a solution. As it bubbles through, HCl dissociates according to the formula:  HCl à H+ + Cl-.

Which of the following statements accurately explains what will happen if a student places Litmus paper in this solution?

a)

The Litmus paper will turn red because the solution has more H+ ions than OH– ions, and its pH is low.

b)

The Litmus paper will turn red because the solution has more OH– ions than H+ ions, and its pH is high.

c)

The Litmus paper will turn blue because the solution has more OH- ions than Cl– ions, and its pH is high.

d)

The Litmus paper will not change color because the solution has an equal amount of H+ ions and Cl– ions, and its pH is neutral.

18.

How can common household substances be classified as acidic, basic, or neutral?

a)

By testing their conductivity

b)

By using pH indicators

c)

By measuring their temperature

d)

By observing their color
