Which of the following substances gives up negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water?

42% Answer Correctly

hydrogen

base

ion

acid


Solution

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.


3

Water freezing or boiling is an example of which of the following?

80% Answer Correctly

heating

phase transition

cooling

sublimation


Solution

A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.


4

Work is measured in:

75% Answer Correctly

watts

horsepower

amps

joules or newton-meters


Solution

Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement:  \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)


5

In the classification of life, which of the following is not a domain?

58% Answer Correctly

eukaryota

animalia

archaea

bacteria


Solution

The broadest classification of life splits all organisms into three groups called domains. The three domains of life are bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.
