1. Describe the concept of inertia in terms of Newton's first law.

• A. Objects in motion tend to remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force
• B. Objects at rest tend to remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force
• C. An object's resistance to a change in its state of motion
• D. The force required to lift an object

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Inertia refers to an object's tendency to maintain its current state of motion (either at rest or in motion) unless acted upon by an external force.

2. The van't Hoff factor (i) accounts for the number of particles a solute dissociates into in solution. For a compound that dissociates completely in water, i would be...

• A. 0
• B. Less than 1
• C. 1
• D. More than 1

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The van't Hoff factor (i) is used to account for the number of particles a solute dissociates into in solution. For a compound that dissociates completely in water, such as a strong electrolyte, i would be equal to the total number of ions produced by the dissociation. Since the compound dissociates completely, it forms an equal number of ions, resulting in an i value of 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 1.

3. What happens to the concentration of hydrogen ions (\([H^+]\)) in a solution as the pH increases?

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains constant
• D. Becomes neutral

Correct answer: B

Rationale: As the pH increases, the concentration of hydrogen ions decreases. The relationship is inversely proportional

4. A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 7
• D. 9

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Divide the total liquid volume (15ml) by the syringe capacity (3ml/syringe) to get 5 syringes.

5. Neon (Ne). Both He and Ne belong to Group 18 (Noble Gases) due to their complete and stable outer electron shells.

• A. Electromagnetism
• B. Gravity
• C. Strong nuclear force
• D. Weak nuclear force

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Strong nuclear force. This incredibly powerful force overcomes the repulsive electrostatic force between protons and binds the nucleus together.

6. What literary device is used in the phrase "the lion's roar thundered across the savanna"?

• A. Simile
• B. Metaphor
• C. Hyperbole
• D. Personification

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Option A compares the roar to thunder using "like" or "as," making it a simile.
