Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
products |
|
fuel |
|
components |
|
reactants |
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
Which of the following represents the largest value?
1 cL |
|
1 kL |
|
1 mL |
|
1 ML |
Mega (M) is 106, kilo (k) is 103, centi (c) is 10-2, milli (m) is 10-3 so 1 ML represents the largest value.
Absolute zero is which of the following?
the freezing point of oxygen |
|
the freezing point of hydrogen |
|
0°C |
|
the coldest temperature possible in the universe |
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation. From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
