1

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

55% Answer Correctly

alkaline

acid

solution

base


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.


2

Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?

51% Answer Correctly

hot

fair

freezing

stormy


Solution

Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.


3

A subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. This desribes which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

isotope

electron

neutron

proton


Solution

An electron is a subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom. It carries a negative electric charge. Generally, an atom has the same number of negative electrons orbiting the nucleus as it does positive protons inside.


4

pH is a scale that measures of how basic or acidic a solution is. A solution with a pH of 9 is:

67% Answer Correctly

acidic

water

alkaline

neutral


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

Changes to an object's speed or direction of motion are caused by which of the following?

72% Answer Correctly

power

work

a force

kinetic energy


Solution

Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
