1

__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.

65% Answer Correctly

Solution

Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.


2

212°F is how many °C?

77% Answer Correctly

-100

100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?

67% Answer Correctly

stratosphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

troposphere


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

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

65% Answer Correctly

period

family

atomic number

group


Solution

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.


5

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

57% Answer Correctly

side effects

reactants

results

products


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
