1. What is the product of the complete combustion of propane (C3H8)?

• A. CO2
• B. CO
• C. CH4
• D. C

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Complete combustion of hydrocarbons produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.

2. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?

• A. 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 7 only
• D. 2, 3, and 7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.

3. What is the general formula for an alkyl halide?

• A. CnH2n
• B. CnH2n+2
• C. CnH2n-1X
• D. CnH2nO

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The general formula for an alkyl halide is \(C_nH_{2n-1}X\), where X represents a halogen (e.g., F, Cl, Br, I).

4. When a blockage forms in a coronary artery, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle, this condition is called:

• A. Atherosclerosis
• B. Myocardial infarction
• C. Angina pectoris
• D. Heart murmur

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Angina pectoris." Angina pectoris is the condition that occurs when there is a blockage in a coronary artery, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This decreased blood flow can cause chest pain or discomfort, typically during physical exertion or stress. Atherosclerosis (option A) is the buildup of plaque in the artery walls, which can lead to blockages. Myocardial infarction (option B) refers to a heart attack, which occurs when there is a complete blockage in a coronary artery resulting in damage to the heart muscle. A heart murmur (option D) is an abnormal sound heard during the heartbeat, not directly related to a blockage in a coronary artery. Therefore, the correct term for a blockage in a coronary artery that reduces blood flow to the heart muscle is angina pectoris.

5. Which statement is TRUE about valence electrons?

• A. They are located in the innermost electron shell.
• B. They have the highest binding energy to the nucleus.
• C. They are most likely to participate in chemical bonding.
• D. They have no influence on the element's chemical properties.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: They are most likely to participate in chemical bonding - Valence electrons occupy the outermost shell and are readily involved in forming bonds with other atoms.

6. What type of energy is possessed by an object due to its position or configuration?

• A. Kinetic energy
• B. Thermal energy
• C. Potential energy
• D. Electrical energy

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or state.
