1. How is power related to time?

• A. Power is inversely proportional to time
• B. Power is directly proportional to time
• C. Power is unrelated to time
• D. Power is the product of time and work

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, and it is not directly linked to time.

2. What is the net ionic equation for the reaction: 2HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + BaCl2(aq)?

• A. 2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)
• B. 2HCl(aq) + Ba(OH)2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
• C. 2H+(aq) + Ba2+(aq) → Ba2+(aq) + 2H+(aq)
• D. Ba(OH)2(aq) + HCl(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Correct answer: a

Rationale: The net ionic equation includes only the species that undergo a change during the reaction.

3. In the phrase "a drop in the bucket," "bucket" represents:

• A. A literal container
• B. A large quantity
• C. A specific goal
• D. An obstacle

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The phrase signifies that something is insignificant compared to a much larger amount.

4. Which of the following is NOT a type of chemical bond?

• A. Ionic bond
• B. Covalent bond
• C. Metallic bond
• D. Gravitational bond

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Although gravity exists, it's not considered a chemical bond responsible for holding atoms together within molecules.

5. Which of the following is NOT a primary producer in an ecosystem?

• A. Grass
• B. Deer
• C. Algae
• D. Mushroom

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - A) Grass: Grass is a primary producer because it can photosynthesize and convert sunlight into energy, making it the base of the food chain. - B) Deer: Deer are consumers that feed on primary producers like grass, so they are not primary producers themselves. - C) Algae: Algae are primary producers that can photosynthesize and produce energy from sunlight. - D) Mushroom: Mushrooms are decomposers that break down organic matter, so they are not primary producers.

6. Muscle soreness after exercise is often caused by microscopic tears in muscle fibers. This is called

• A. Atrophy
• B. Hypertrophy
• C. Dom (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
• D. Spasm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Muscle soreness after exercise is commonly caused by microscopic tears in muscle fibers, leading to a condition known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). Atrophy refers to the shrinking of muscle due to inactivity or lack of use, which is not the cause of muscle soreness after exercise. Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size through exercise, not related to muscle soreness. Spasm is a sudden, involuntary muscle contraction unrelated to the micro-tears that cause muscle soreness. Therefore, the correct answer is C, DOMS, as it specifically addresses the micro-tears in muscle fibers that result in post-exercise soreness.
