1. To the nearest whole number, what is the mass of one mole of hydrogen chloride?

• A. 36 g/mol
• B. 38 g/mol
• C. 71 g/mol
• D. 74 g/mol

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The molar mass of hydrogen chloride (HCl) is calculated by adding the atomic masses of hydrogen (H) and chlorine (Cl) together. The atomic mass of hydrogen is approximately 1 g/mol, and the atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35.5 g/mol. Therefore, the molar mass of hydrogen chloride (HCl) is approximately 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g/mol. When rounded to the nearest whole number, it is 36 g/mol. Therefore, the correct answer is 36 g/mol. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate molar mass of hydrogen chloride.

2. Which of the following bases is not present in RNA?

• A. Adenine
• B. Thymine
• C. Uracil
• D. Cytosine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Thymine is not present in RNA. RNA uses uracil as one of its bases, which pairs with adenine. In RNA, adenine does not pair with thymine as in DNA. Cytosine and guanine are the other two bases found in both RNA and DNA.

3. What conclusion is suggested by this study from Germany?

• A. So far, acupuncture does not have much credibility as a treatment option.
• B. Acupuncture can relieve women of all menstrual discomfort.
• C. NSAIDs are generally more effective than acupuncture for treating cramps.
• D. Acupuncture is a reasonable treatment choice for cramps.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The study indicates that acupuncture is a reasonable treatment option for menstrual cramps, supported by the positive outcomes reported by participants in the study. The wording in option D directly aligns with the conclusion drawn from the findings, making it the correct answer.

4. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up there uniforms for their coach.

• A. Their
• B. Going
• C. They're
• D. There

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'There.' In this context, 'There' is incorrect as it should be replaced with 'their' to show possession, referring to the uniforms belonging to the team. 'Their' (choice A) is used correctly to indicate possession. 'Going' (choice B) and 'They're' (choice C) are also used correctly in the sentence.

5. If the outside temperature on a sunny day is 82 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?

• A. 18°C
• B. 24°C
• C. 28°C
• D. 50°C

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
