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. What happens to the gravitational potential energy of an object as it falls freely?

• A. It decreases
• B. It increases
• C. It remains constant
• D. It becomes zero

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Gravitational potential energy decreases as an object falls freely due to a decrease in its height.

3. Which of the following is the main organ responsible for absorbing nutrients?

• A. Stomach
• B. Small intestine
• C. Large intestine
• D. Pancreas

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: The small intestine is the main organ responsible for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. It is where the majority of digestion and absorption of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals occurs. The inner lining of the small intestine is covered in tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. The stomach plays a role in breaking down food into smaller particles, but the actual absorption of nutrients primarily takes place in the small intestine. The large intestine mainly absorbs water and electrolytes, while the pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones but is not primarily responsible for absorbing nutrients.

4. The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both. Which of the following represents the LCM of 14 and 21?

• A. 42
• B. 63
• C. 84
• D. 168

Correct answer: C

Rationale: We can list out the multiples of each number until we find a common multiple. 14, 28, 42, 56, 84, ... 21, 42, 63, 84, ... The least common multiple is 84.

5. Which of the following questions is NOT appropriate for scientific investigation?

• A. How can we reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
• B. Is there intelligent life beyond Earth?
• C. What is the meaning of life?
• D. Does free will exist?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Science deals with observable, measurable phenomena using evidence-based methods. Questions about subjective experiences and abstract concepts like meaning fall outside the realm of scientific inquiry.

6. What is the relationship between the frequency and period of a wave?

• A. They are unrelated
• B. Frequency = Period
• C. Frequency = 1/Period
• D. Period = 1/Frequency

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct relationship between frequency and period of a wave is that Period = 1/Frequency. This means that the period of a wave is the reciprocal of its frequency. Frequency is the number of complete cycles of a wave that occur in a unit of time, while the period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to occur. Since frequency and period are inversely related, the correct formula is Period = 1/Frequency.
