According to the kinetic-molecular theory, what happens to a liquid when it is transferred from one container to another?

A
The volume and the shape stay the same.
B
The volume increases to fill the new container, but the shape stays the same.
C
The volume stays the same, but the shape changes to fit the new container.
D
The volume and the shape change to fill the new container.

The diagrams show gases that are stored in two separate but similar containers.If both gases are at the same temperature, which one has the greater pressure?

Question illustration
A
gas 1 because the particles are moving much faster
B
gas 1 because it has fewer particles that are close together
C
gas 2 because it has more particles that are colliding
D
gas 2 because the particles have more space between them
6

Which best characterizes a crystal?

A
a number of high speed particles moving randomly
B
a dense substance that is hard and incompressible
C
a high-energy state of matter made up of a swirling, ionized gas
D
a loose association of particles moving past one another
7

Which statement best compares the melting point of butane (C4H10) with that of octane (C8H18)?

A
The melting points of both substances are identical.
B
The melting point is higher for butane.
C
The melting point is higher for octane.
D
The comparison of melting points cannot be made.
8

Which statement describes a limitation of the kinetic-molecular theory for a gas?

A
The theory assumes that particles do not experience intermolecular forces.
B
The theory states that pressure is inversely proportional to volume.
C
The theory assumes that particles are in random and continuous motion.
D
The theory states that pressure increases with temperature.
9

Which is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?

A
Gas particles have a small volume relative to the spaces between them.
B
Gas particles have a large volume relative to the spaces between them.
C
Gas particles are very small in size and always move slowly.
D
Gas particles are very large in size and always move slowly.

When a strip of magnesium metal is touched to a flame, a bright light and a whitish substance are produced. Why is the burning of magnesium considered a chemical change?

A
because the metal reaches a high temperature
B
because the metal begins to melt
C
because a new substance is formed
D
because the metal is malleable

B
A metal atom gains electrons and becomes a negative ion.
C
A nonmetal atom loses electrons and becomes a negative ion.
D
A nonmetal atom gains electrons and becomes a positive ion.
