1. A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?

• A. 675 cu cm
• B. 1350 cu cm
• C. 2700 cu cm
• D. 4050 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Calculate the radius (15cm) and substitute: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm.

2. What is the term for a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature and pressure?

• A. Saturated solution
• B. Unsaturated solution
• C. Dilute solution
• D. Concentrated solution

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A saturated solution is one in which the maximum amount of solute has dissolved under specific conditions. The other choices do not accurately describe a saturated solution.

3. A doctor orders 1 gram of a medication to be administered intravenously. The available vial contains 200 milligrams per milliliter. How many milliliters of the solution should be drawn up?

• A. 4 milliliters
• B. 5 milliliters
• C. 10 milliliters
• D. 20 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First convert grams to milligrams (1 gram * 1000 milligrams/gram = 1000 milligrams). Then, divide the desired dosage by the concentration per milliliter: 1000 milligrams / 200 milligrams/milliliter = 5 milliliters.

4. What happens to the force of gravity between two objects when the distance between them is doubled?

• A. ) The force increases by a factor of 2
• B. The force increases by a factor of 4
• C. The force decreases by a factor of 2
• D. The force decreases by a factor of 4

Correct answer: d

Rationale: According to the inverse square law of gravity, the force of gravity decreases by a factor of 4 when the distance between two objects is doubled.

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. An element with atomic number 26 and mass number 56 is most likely to be:

• A. Iron (Fe)
• B. Cobalt (Co)
• C. Nickel (Ni)
• D. Manganese (Mn)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Iron (Fe) - Fe-56 has 26 protons and aligns with the given atomic number and mass number.
