1. What is the pH of a solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of \(1 \times 10^{-9}\) M?

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 9
• D. 11

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The pH is calculated as the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration. In this case, \(-\log(1 \times 10^{-9}) = 9\).

2. He wants to influence the customary way of thinking and behaving that is shared by the

• A. Organizational chart
• B. Cultural network
• C. Organizational structure
• D. Organizational culture

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Organizational chart." In the context of the question, the individual is aiming to impact the established patterns of thinking and behavior within a group or organization. An organizational chart typically depicts the formal structure of an organization, including roles, relationships, and reporting lines. By influencing the organizational chart, the individual can potentially shape the hierarchical structure and decision-making processes, thereby impacting the customary way of thinking and behaving within the organization. Options B, C, and D do not directly refer to the visual representation of roles and relationships within an organization, making them incorrect choices for this question.

3. What is the half-life of a radioactive isotope, and how does it relate to its decay rate?

• A. The time it takes for half of the initial sample to decay.
• B. The time it takes for all the sample to decay.
• C. The rate at which new isotopes are created.
• D. The energy released during decay.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Half-life tells the time it takes for half of the original radioactive nuclei to decay, offering an indication of the decay rate.

4. Identify the direct object in the following sentence: "She baked a delicious cake for the party."

• A. for the party
• B. delicious
• C. cake
• D. baked

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The direct object receives the action of the verb.

5. Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

• A. 30cm
• B. 55cm
• C. 65cm
• D. 75cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Add the lengths of all sides: perimeter = 2 (length + width) = 2 (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm.

6. Which of the following is NOT a good scientific practice?

• A. Which of the following is NOT a good scientific practice?
• B. Selecting data that supports a desired outcome and ignoring contradictory evidence.
• C. Peer-reviewing research findings before publication.
• D. Replicating experiments to confirm results and validate findings.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Scientific objectivity requires considering all data, regardless of whether it aligns with initial expectations. Selective bias can lead to inaccurate conclusions.
