Convert 0C° to F°.
16 |
|
32 |
|
-32 |
|
0 |
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)
\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:
atomic number |
|
period |
|
family |
|
group |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
273K |
|
32°F |
|
0°C |
|
0°F |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as precipitation in the form of:
ice |
|
snow |
|
rain |
|
snow or ice |
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?
alkaline |
|
base |
|
solution |
|
acid |
An acid is a substance that gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water. A base (alkaline) gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. Numbered from 0 to 14, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, less than 7 are acidic, more than 7 are alkaline.
