Introduction to Chemistry Quiz - answers in blue |
| 1. The class lecture and aboratory sessions
begin a) at 8:00
am Please
get to class on time! 2. Which of the following statements is true? a) Matter takes up space. 3. Which of the following cannot be classified as matter? a) chocolate 4. Atoms, the smallest unit of matter, differ by a) mass 5. Review the lab exercise for this week and determine which has a
greater mass, sodium (Na) or chlorine (Cl) ? 6. Review the lab exercise for this week and determine which has a greater volume, sodium (Na) or chlorine (Cl) ? Recall volume of a sphere = 4/3 p r 3 , and therefore, the larger the radius, the larger the volume. Check out this web-site for an illustration of

7. Review the lab exercise for this week and determine which of the following atoms is not a component of ammonia. a) nitrogen atoms 8. Review the lab exercise for this week and determine which of the following compounds is the most abundant component of air: a) nitrogen
gas 9. Which of the following terms best describes the molecular geometry of ammonia. a) linear Explore this web-site and find a 3-D, rotatable, model of ammonia (along with other molecules) : http://www.stolaf.edu/people/jackson/08-125/molshape/molshape.htm 10. Which of the physical states of matter has indefinite volume and indefinite shape? a) gas 11. What is the physical state of ammonia at room temperature ( 20 oC) ? a) gas c) solid 12. The combustion of natural gas (methane) involves a reaction between
methane and
oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water (steam). If the
combustion of 1000 g of methane leads the production of 2750 g of carbon
dioxide and 2250 g of steam, how many grams of oxygen were consumed in
the reaction? ***Here's the key point: The Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass of reactants = Mass of products) a) 2000 g 13. The process by which ice melts involves: a) a change in chemical composition 14. The process by which ice freezes is: a) endothermic 15. Review the lab exercise for this week and determine which of the following describes the Haber reaction. a) ammonia and oxygen combine to make
nitrogen dioxide 16. Which of the following statements does not describe a physical property of a substance? a) Pure water is odorless. b) Ethanol is flammable. Flammability is a chemical property. c) Gold is shiny. d) Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. 17. Which of the following statements describes an "extensive property" of a substance? a) Mercury is a liquid metal 18. As a spring is stretched a) its potential energy increases
-- What kind of energy do you have when you let go? -- kinetic energy. 19. Explain the terms "hypothesis" and "theory". A hypothesis is an explanation for a observation. A theory is an explanation that is supported by experimental evidence. Experimentation can promote a hypothesis to a theory. However, experimentation can never prove a theory.
