Questions and Answers

What distinguishes ionic compounds from molecular compounds?

  • Ionic compounds are formed only from nonmetals while molecular compounds can contain metals.
  • Ionic compounds consist of charged particles while molecular compounds consist of neutral molecules. (correct)
  • Ionic compounds have lower melting points than molecular compounds.
  • Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity, while molecular compounds do.

Which of the following correctly describes the pH scale?

  • A pH of 7 indicates a weak acid.
  • The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with lower numbers indicating basic substances.
  • The pH scale indicates the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution.
  • The pH scale is logarithmic and reflects the concentration of hydrogen ions. (correct)

What is the correct process for naming an acid?

  • For oxyacids, if the anion ends in 'ate', the acid name ends with 'ic'. (correct)
  • Use the name of the anion and add 'acid' for all acids.
  • Acids are named by the number of hydrogen ions they contain.
  • For monoatomic anions, drop the suffix and add 'ate' followed by 'acid'.

Flashcards

What is distance?

Distance is the total length of the path an object travels. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude, not direction.

What is displacement?

Displacement is the overall change in position of an object from its starting point to its end point. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

What is speed?

Speed is the rate at which an object moves, calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude.

What is velocity?

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement, calculated by dividing the displacement by the time taken. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, calculated by dividing the change in velocity by the time taken. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Laws of Thermodynamics

The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The second law states that when energy is transformed, some of it is always lost as unusable heat, increasing entropy in the universe.

Surface Area to Volume Ratio

The ratio of a cell's surface area to its volume. As a cell grows, its volume increases faster than its surface area, which can limit the rate of diffusion and affect the cell's ability to exchange materials with its environment.
