1

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.

75% Answer Correctly

gas

plasma

liquid

solid


Solution

The gaseous state occurs at a higher temperature range than the solid and liquid states of the same substance. In this state, molecules flow very freely around each other and will spread out as far as they're able. Gases maintain neither a constant volume nor a constant shape.


2

Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?

46% Answer Correctly

primarily solid

solid

makes up most of the Earth's volume

liquid


Solution

The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).


3

Which of Earth's layers has weather?

64% Answer Correctly

troposphere

mesosphere

stratosphere

thermosphere


Solution

The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.


4

Which of the following substances gives up positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water?

55% Answer Correctly

alkaline

base

solution

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.


5

Antigens in the blood determine:

53% Answer Correctly

negative or positive status

blood oxygen capacity

Rh factor

blood type


Solution

Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.
