1. What is the formula for calculating molarity?

• A. M = n/V
• B. M = n/L
• C. M = mol/L
• D. M = mol/dm³

Correct answer: a

Rationale: All of these choices are equivalent to the original formula. The symbol "n" represents the number of moles of solute, and the symbol "V" represents the volume of the solution in liters. The symbol "L" is an abbreviation for "liters," and "dm³" is an alternative way to represent liters.

2. A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution are used, how much pure alcohol is present?

• A. 100ml
• B. 120ml
• C. 140ml
• D. 160ml

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Multiply the total solution volume (200ml) by the alcohol percentage (60%)

3. Ms. Castro learns that some leaders are transactional leaders. Which of the following does

• A. Focuses on management tasks
• B. Is a caretaker
• C. Uses trade-offs to meet goals
• D. Inspires others with vision

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Uses trade-offs to meet goals.' Transactional leaders focus on the exchange or transaction that occurs between them and their followers. They set clear expectations and goals for their followers and use rewards and punishments to motivate them. This approach involves making trade-offs to achieve desired outcomes, such as rewarding employees for meeting targets or penalizing them for not meeting expectations. Options A and B do not directly relate to transactional leadership, as it is more about goal achievement and motivation through rewards and punishments. Option D describes a transformational leader, who inspires and motivates others through a shared vision and values, which is different from the transactional leadership style described in the question.

4. Which property of a wave determines its pitch in sound waves?

• A. Amplitude
• B. Frequency
• C. Wavelength
• D. Speed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The pitch of a sound wave is determined by its frequency. Frequency refers to the number of cycles of a wave that occur in a unit of time, usually measured in hertz (Hz). Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave and is related to the loudness of the sound. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase, and speed is the rate at which a wave travels through a medium.

5. Which of the following is the main function of the pancreas?

• A. To store food and break it down into smaller pieces
• B. To absorb nutrients into the bloodstream
• C. To produce enzymes that help digest food
• D. To regulate blood sugar levels

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The pancreas is a vital organ in the digestive system that produces digestive enzymes such as amylase, lipase, and proteases. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in food, aiding in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Options A and B are incorrect because the pancreas is not involved in storing or absorbing nutrients. Option D is partially correct as the pancreas also plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels by producing insulin and glucagon, but its primary function is to produce digestive enzymes.

6. Distinguish between the digestive and respiratory systems.

• A. Mouth
• B. Stomach
• C. Small intestine
• D. Lungs

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - The mouth, stomach, and small intestine are all parts of the digestive system, responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. - The lungs are part of the respiratory system, responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment through breathing. - While the digestive system processes food for energy and nutrients, the respiratory system is focused on the exchange of gases necessary for cellular respiration.
