1. What is the term for a hydrocarbon chain with no double or triple bonds between carbon atoms?

• A. Saturated
• B. Unsaturated
• C. Aromatic
• D. Alkene

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A saturated hydrocarbon chain has only single bonds between carbon atoms. The other choices are associated with unsaturation or aromaticity.

2. A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of medication to be taken orally every 12 hours. How many grams should the patient take per dose?

• A. 0.015 grams
• B. 0.15 grams
• C. 1.5 grams
• D. 15 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Divide the dosage in milligrams (150 mg) by the conversion factor (1000 mg/gram) to find the dosage in grams: 150 mg / 1000 mg/gram = 0.15 grams.

3. Which number is the opposite of -3?

• A. -6
• B. 3
• C. 0
• D. 6

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The opposite of a number is the one with the same distance from zero but on the opposite side of the number line. So, the opposite of -3 is 3.

4. Imaginary unit multiples are used to represent numbers that cannot be obtained on the number line. Which of the following is equivalent to 5i?

• A. -5
• B. i^5
• C. 5√-1
• D. 1/5i

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - The imaginary unit, denoted as "i," is defined as the square root of -1. - Therefore, 5i can be expressed as 5 times the square root of -1, which is equivalent to 5√-1. - Option A, -5, is a real number and not an imaginary unit multiple. - Option B, i^5, is equal to i because i raised to any power that is a multiple of 4 results in 1, and i^5 is equivalent to i. - Option D, 1/5i, is the reciprocal of 5i and not equivalent to 5i.

5. What property of a substance refers to its ability to be drawn into thin wires without breaking?

• A. Malleability
• B. Viscosity
• C. Ductility
• D. Conductivity

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Ductility is the property that describes a substance's ability to be drawn into thin wires without breaking.

6. Which property of matter refers to the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Density
• D. Volume

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. It is calculated as mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.
