Which type of substance is water able to dissolve?

A
nonpolar
B

C

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.
4

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

Valerie wants to examine the properties of a thick liquid but is finding it difficult to pour the liquid into a beaker. She needs to finish her investigation before the end of class. Which method will allow her to pour the liquid easily?

A
boiling the liquid vigorously
B
applying heat to the liquid
C
placing the liquid in the refrigerator
D
mixing the liquid with another solution

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.
7

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.
8

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.
9

Melting can be best described as a process in which molecules

A
lose kinetic energy and move slowly.
B
lose kinetic energy and remain stationary.
C
gain kinetic energy and escape into the atmosphere.
D
gain enough kinetic energy to get past each other.
10

The particles in water have less mobility than the particles in oxygen. Which statement best explains this observation?

A
Water is always colder than oxygen.
B
Water has a lower density than oxygen.
C
Water particles have a greater kinetic energy.
D
Water particles have strong intermolecular forces.
