Which postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory applies to the particles of a liquid?

A
They do not move freely but vibrate in a stationary position.
B
They can be compressed, which causes a large change in volume.
C
They have so much kinetic energy that their intermolecular forces are negligible.
D
They have enough kinetic energy to easily slide by each other.
3

Which type of substance is water able to dissolve?

A
nonpolar
B
ionic
C
polar
D
ionic and polar
4

Which process most likely takes place when the kinetic energy of molecules overcomes the intermolecular forces?

A
boiling
B
condensation
C
freezing
D
solidification

Carla makes a small cardboard boat and floats it in a tub of water. When she adds a drop of dish soap behind the boat, the boat moves forward.Which statement best explains what happened?

A
The soap increased the viscosity of the water behind the boat, allowing the water in front of the boat to flow more easily.
B
The soap reduced the surface tension behind the boat, causing both water molecules and the boat to be pulled forward.
C
The soap increased the kinetic energy of the water molecules behind the boat, causing both the molecules and the boat to move forward.
D
The soap formed an immiscible layer on the water, causing the soap to spread out and push the boat forward.

What happens when a solid is dissolved into a liquid?

A
Solid particles float toward the surface layer of liquid particles.
B
Solid particles sink down toward the bottom layer of liquid particles.
C
Solid particles become evenly dispersed among liquid particles.
D
Solid particles become suspended in the middle of liquid particles.
7

Which term best describes the substances that cause oil and water molecules in salad dressing to interact and mix?

A
surfactants
B
miscible liquids
C
immiscible liquids
D
compressed molecules
8

What happens as a result of the kinetic energy of the particles in a liquid being comparable with the intermolecular attractions between the particles?

A
The particles do not move enough to change positions, so the liquid is not compressible.
B
The particles move enough that they separate from one another and take the shape of their container.
C
The particles do not move enough, so they are fixed in place, and the liquid has a fixed volume.
D
The particles move enough that they are not fixed in place, and the liquid can flow.
9

What is produced on the top of a pool of water by the mutual attraction between water molecules?

A
surfactant
B
surface tension
C
a much smaller volume
D
a much higher density
10

Which molecules would most likely cause a liquid to have the lowest viscosity?

A
large, polar molecules
B
small, nonpolar molecules
C
small, polar molecules
D
large, nonpolar molecules
