1. Which of the following is a unit of measurement for energy?

• A. Watt (W)
• B. Joule (J)
• C. Newton (N)
• D. Kilogram (kg)

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Energy is measured in Joules (J) in the SI unit system.

2. Which of the following is an example of a nonpolar solvent?

• A. Water
• B. Ethanol
• C. Acetone
• D. Hydrochloric acid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Water (option A) is a polar solvent due to its uneven distribution of charge, with the oxygen atom being partially negative and the hydrogen atoms being partially positive. - Ethanol (option B) is a nonpolar solvent because it has a symmetrical molecular structure that does not result in significant charge separation. - Acetone (option C) is a polar solvent as it contains a carbonyl group that results in a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. - Hydrochloric acid (option D) is a polar solvent due to the presence of the highly electronegative chlorine atom, which results in a partial negative charge.

3. What is the unit of measurement for force in the International System of Units (SI)?

• A. Newton (N)
• B. Kilogram (kg)
• C. Joule (J)
• D. Meter per second squared (m/s²)

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Force is measured in Newtons (N) in the SI system.

4. Cherenkov radiation is a characteristic phenomenon associated with:

• A. Alpha particle emission
• B. Beta particle emission
• C. Gamma ray emission
• D. Charged particles exceeding the speed of light in a medium

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Cherenkov radiation is a phenomenon associated with charged particles exceeding the speed of light in a medium. When a charged particle travels faster than the speed of light in that medium, it emits a characteristic blue glow known as Cherenkov radiation. This occurs due to the disruption of the electromagnetic field in the medium by the high-speed particle. Options A, B, and C are not correct as they do not directly relate to the specific condition required for Cherenkov radiation to be produced. Therefore, option D, 'Charged particles exceeding the speed of light in a medium,' is the correct answer.

5. What property of a substance measures the amount of matter per unit volume?

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

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Density measures the amount of matter (mass) per unit volume of a substance.

6. What is the name for the mixture of reactants and products present during a chemical reaction?

• A. Solution
• B. Mixture
• C. Reaction mixture
• D. Precipitate

Correct answer: C

Rationale: This mixture contains both the starting materials (reactants) and the newly formed substances (products) during the reaction process.
