    Food coloring mixes easily with water because it is

    • Hot

    • Cold

    • Hydrophobic

    • Hydrophillic

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrophillic
    Explanation
    Food coloring mixes easily with water because it is hydrophilic. Hydrophilic substances have an affinity for water, meaning they are attracted to and can easily dissolve in water. Food coloring molecules have polar groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, allowing them to disperse and mix evenly throughout the water. This property of being hydrophilic enables food coloring to spread and create vibrant colors when added to water-based solutions.

    Heat is defined as

    • The amount of kinetic energy

    • The amount of potential energy

    • The amount of hotness

    • The amount of coldness

    Correct Answer
    A. The amount of kinetic energy
    Explanation
    Heat is defined as the amount of kinetic energy. Kinetic energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. In the context of heat, it is the energy transferred between objects or systems due to a temperature difference. When an object or substance is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy and move faster, resulting in an increase in temperature. Therefore, heat is directly related to the amount of kinetic energy possessed by the particles of a substance.

    Cooking an egg in a frying pan (egg TOUCHING pan) is an example of

    • Conduction

    • Convection

    • Radiation

    • Emulisification

    Correct Answer
    A. Conduction
    Explanation
    Cooking an egg in a frying pan involves the transfer of heat from the hot pan to the egg through direct contact. This process is known as conduction. Conduction occurs when heat energy is transferred from one object to another through direct physical contact. In this case, the heat from the pan is transferred to the egg, causing it to cook. Convection, radiation, and emulsification do not involve direct contact and are not applicable in this scenario.

    When the amount of gas and pressure are constant, when the temperature decreases the volume of the balloon

    • Goes up

    • Goes down

    • Stays constant

    Correct Answer
    A. Goes down
    Explanation
    When the amount of gas and pressure are constant, according to the ideal gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature. This means that as the temperature decreases, the volume of the gas will decrease as well. Therefore, when the temperature decreases, the volume of the balloon goes down.

    • Fuel & oxygen

    • Fuel & hydrogens

    • Carbon dioxide & oxygen

    • Water & oxygen

    Correct Answer
    A. Fuel & oxygen
    Explanation
    A combustion reaction requires two main components: fuel and oxygen. Fuel provides the energy source for the reaction, while oxygen acts as the oxidizing agent. In the presence of these two requirements, a combustion reaction can take place, resulting in the release of heat and the formation of products such as carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, the correct answer is fuel and oxygen.

    An example of phosphorescence would be

    • An LED

    • Overhead lights

    • Glow-in-dark stars

    • Flashlight

    Correct Answer
    A. Glow-in-dark stars
    Explanation
    Phosphorescence refers to the emission of light after the absorption of energy. Glow-in-the-dark stars are a perfect example of phosphorescence as they absorb light energy during the day and then emit it slowly over time, creating a glowing effect in the dark. This phenomenon is different from LED lights, overhead lights, and flashlights, which produce light through other mechanisms such as electrical current or combustion.

    Three ways to denature proteins include:

    • Heat, water & salt

    • Heat, water & pectin

    • Heat, acid & salt

    • Heat, salt & pectin

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat, acid & salt
    Explanation
    Proteins can be denatured by applying heat, acid, and salt. Heat disrupts the weak bonds and forces the protein to unfold. Acidic conditions alter the pH, which can disrupt the protein's structure. Salt can also disrupt the protein's structure by affecting the electrostatic interactions. Therefore, the combination of heat, acid, and salt can denature proteins effectively.

    If I stick a metal skewer (stick) into a potato, the amount of cooking time required  will

    • Decrease

    • Stay the same

    • Increase

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease
    Explanation
    When a metal skewer is stuck into a potato, it acts as a conductor of heat. This means that the heat from the oven or cooking method will be transferred more efficiently to the center of the potato through the metal skewer. As a result, the cooking time required for the potato to fully cook will decrease because the heat is able to reach the center of the potato more quickly and effectively.

  • 22. 

    To be conduction, a solution must have ions that

    • Are electrons

    • Are protons

    • Can move

    • Can glow

    Correct Answer
    A. Can move
    Explanation
    To be conductive, a solution must have ions that can move. Ions are charged particles that carry an electric charge, either positive or negative. In order for a solution to conduct electricity, these ions need to be able to move freely within the solution. This movement of ions allows for the flow of electric current through the solution, making it conductive. Electrons and protons are not ions and do not contribute to the conductivity of a solution. The ability of ions to move is what enables the solution to conduct electricity.

    The difference in charges on the atoms in a water molecule causes OTHER water molecules to bond through a

    • Polar-covalent bond

    • Covalent bond

    • Polar bond

    • Hydrogen bond

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen bond
    Explanation
    The difference in charges on the atoms in a water molecule, specifically the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom, allows for the formation of hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds occur between the positively charged hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the negatively charged oxygen atom of another water molecule. This attraction between the opposite charges creates a relatively strong bond between the water molecules, resulting in the unique properties of water such as high boiling point, surface tension, and cohesion.

    • Clump up like a glob

    • Become cystalline

    • Unravel

    • Break all bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Unravel
    Explanation
    When proteins are denatured, they undergo a structural change that disrupts their native conformation. This causes the proteins to unravel, losing their secondary and tertiary structures. The unraveling of proteins can be triggered by various factors such as heat, pH changes, or exposure to certain chemicals.

    When vinegar and baking soda are reacted, the mass of the products are

    • More than the starting materials

    • Less than the starting materials

    • Same as starting materials

    Correct Answer
    A. Same as starting materials
    Explanation
    When vinegar and baking soda are reacted, a chemical reaction occurs. In this reaction, carbon dioxide gas is produced along with a solution of water and sodium acetate. The mass of the starting materials (vinegar and baking soda) is equal to the mass of the products (water, sodium acetate, and carbon dioxide). This is because according to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Therefore, the total mass before and after the reaction remains the same.

    In the metal activity series, Mg is ABOVE Zn. If I want a reaction to occur between Mg & Zn, the solid would have to be

    • Mg

    • Zn

    • Both Mg & Zn

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. Mg
    Explanation
    In the metal activity series, metals that are higher in the series are more reactive than those below them. Since Mg is above Zn in the activity series, it means that Mg is more reactive than Zn. Therefore, if a reaction is desired between Mg and Zn, the solid would have to be Mg.

    material Specific heat (cal/goC) Copper 0.09 Iron 0.107 Aluminum 0.17 Glass 0.20 Which of the above materials, given the same mass, would be the HOTTEST 5 minutes after being removed from a burner?

    • Copper

    • Iron

    • Aluminum

    • Glass

    Correct Answer
    A. Glass
    Explanation
    Glass would be the hottest 5 minutes after being removed from a burner because it has the highest specific heat compared to the other materials listed. This means that it requires more energy to raise the temperature of glass compared to copper, iron, or aluminum. Therefore, even after being removed from the burner, glass would retain more heat and remain hotter for a longer period of time.

    What happens to the temperature of a material while it boils?

    • Increases

    • Decreases

    • Stays the same

    • Takes an absolute value

    Correct Answer
    A. Stays the same
    Explanation
    When a material is boiling, it is undergoing a phase change from a liquid to a gas. During this process, the temperature of the material remains constant. This is because the energy being supplied to the material is being used to break the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together, rather than increasing the temperature. Once all the molecules have enough energy to overcome these forces, they can escape as a gas. Therefore, the temperature of the material stays the same while it boils.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Which molecule would release the MOST heat?

    • CH4

    • CH3OH

    • C27H52

    • C27H51OH

    Correct Answer
    A. C27H52
    Explanation
    The molecule C27H52 would release the most heat because it has the highest number of carbon and hydrogen atoms compared to the other molecules. The combustion of hydrocarbons releases heat energy, and since C27H52 has more carbon and hydrogen atoms, it would produce more heat when it undergoes combustion. CH4 and CH3OH have fewer carbon and hydrogen atoms, while C27H51OH has an additional oxygen atom, which would decrease the amount of heat released compared to C27H52.
