Chemistry Fundamentals Quiz

Multiple Choice

• Aspirin tablets can be prepared from a given mass of aspirin, with a conversion factor between mass and number of tablets.
• Platinum is a dense element, meaning it has a high mass per unit volume.
• Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
• The density of a liquid is the mass per unit volume.
• A molecule of N2O4 contains a fixed number of protons, which can be determined from the element symbols in the formula.
• The SO32- ion contains a fixed number of electrons, with the charge of the ion being an indicator of the number of electrons added or removed from the original neutral atom.
• Metalloids are elements that exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.
• Some statements about elements are true; others are false. For example, the number of neutrons in an isotope can be determined by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
• The molar mass of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula unit, expressed in grams per mole.
• Avogadro's number is a conversion factor that relates the number of atoms, molecules, or formula units in one mole.
• An ion's charge provides information about the number of electrons gained or lost from a neutral atom.
