1. How many moles of water are produced when 0.5 moles of methane (CH4) react with excess oxygen?

• A. 0.5 moles
• B. 1 mole
• C. 2 moles
• D. 3 moles

Correct answer: c

Rationale: The balanced equation is CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O, indicating a 1:2 ratio between CH4 and H2O.

2. How is the density of a substance calculated?

• A. Mass / Volume
• B. Volume / Mass
• C. Mass x Volume
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

3. Which of the following numbers is NOT divisible by 3?

• A. 105
• B. 141
• C. 273
• D. 810

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: To determine if a number is divisible by 3, we can check if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the original number is also divisible by 3. A) 105: 1 + 0 + 5 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 105 is divisible by 3. B) 141: 1 + 4 + 1 = 6, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 141 is divisible by 3. C) 273: 2 + 7 + 3 = 12, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 273 is divisible by 3. D) 810: 8 + 1 + 0 = 9, which is divisible by 3. Therefore, 810 is divisible by 3. Since all the

4. A car brakes to a stop on a level road. Which of the following forces does NOT do work on the car?

• A. The braking force applied by the wheels
• B. The normal force from the road
• C. The gravitational force on the car
• D. The friction force between the tires and the road

Correct answer: B

Rationale: While the other forces do work by changing the car's motion or energy, the normal force acts perpendicular to the motion and doesn't contribute to the car's stopping.

5. A ball is thrown horizontally off a cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. What is the horizontal distance the ball travels before hitting the ground?

• A. 10 m
• B. 20m
• C. 30m
• D. Cannot be determined without knowing the height of the cliff

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When a ball is thrown horizontally, its horizontal velocity remains constant throughout its motion. The time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, which is independent of the horizontal velocity. Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is determined by the horizontal velocity and the time taken to hit the ground. In this case, the horizontal distance is calculated as distance = velocity × time = 10 m/s × time. Since the horizontal velocity is 10 m/s and the time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical motion, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 10 m/s × time. Without knowing the height of the cliff, we can still determine the horizontal distance traveled by the ball, which is 10 m/s × time.

6. Which of the following is an example of an aromatic hydrocarbon?

• A. Ethane
• B. Benzene
• C. Propane
• D. Butene

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Benzene is an example of an aromatic hydrocarbon. The other choices are aliphatic hydrocarbons.
