3

Why do amorphous solids not have a long-range order in the arrangement of their particles?

A
Their formation involves very rapid cooling.
B
They do not have enough particles.
C
Their particles eventually change positions.
D
Their particles always stay in the same positions.
4

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.
5

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 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.

The melting point is higher for octane.
D
The comparison of melting points cannot be made.
7

Which of these is an example of a physical change?

A
sugar, when heated, producing carbon dioxide and water
B
solid ice, when heated, turning into liquid water
C
sodium, when exposed to chlorine, forming sodium chloride
D
aluminum, when heated in air, forming aluminum oxide
8

When the process of condensation occurs, the kinetic energy of particles

A
is insufficient to overcome intermolecular forces.
B
becomes independent of temperature.
C
becomes exactly equal to the intermolecular forces.
D
easily overcomes the intermolecular forces.
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.

Which statement describes a chemical property of water?

A
It reacts with sodium metal.
B
It has a melting point of 0°C.
C
It has a density of about 1 g/mL.
D
It is clear and colorless.
11

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
12

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.
13
