Question | Answer |
---|---|
In a single molecule of water, two hydrogen atoms are bonded to a single oxygen atom by | polar covalent bonds |
The slight negative charge at one end of one water molecule is attracted to the slight positive charge of another water molecule. What is this attraction called? | hydrogen bond |
the partial negative charge in a molecule of water occurs because | the electrons shared between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms spend more tie around the oxygen atom nucleus than around the hydrogen atom nucleus |
sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table of oxygen, but has electronegativity similar to carbon. Compared to water molecules, molecules of H2S | will not form hydrogen bonds with each other |
water molecules are able to form hydrogen bonds with | compounds that have polar covalent bonds |
which of the following effects is produced by the same high surface tension of water | a water strider can walk across the surface of a small pond |
which of the following takes place as an ice cube cools a drink | kinetic energy in the drink decreases |
A dietary Calorie equals 1 kilocalorie. Which of the following statements correctly defines 1 kilocalorie? | 1,000 calories, or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C |
The nutritional information on a cereal box shows that one serving of a dry cereal has 200 kc. If one were to burn 1 serving of cereal, the amount of heat given off would be sufficient to raise the temperature of 20 kg of water how many degrees Celsius? | 10.0 degrees celsius |
Liquid water's high specific heat is mainly a consequence of the | absorption and release of heat when hydrogen bonds break and form. |
Which type of bond must be broken for water to vaporize | hydrogen bonds |
temperature usually increases when water condenses. Which behavior of water is most directly responsible for this phenomenon | the release of heat by the formation of hydrogen bonds |
Why does evaporation of water from a surface cause cooling of the surface | the water molecules with the most heat energy evaporate more readily |
Why does ice float in liquid water? | Hydrogen bonds stabilize and keep the molecules of ice farther apart than the water molecules of liquid water. |
Hydrophobic substances such as vegetable oil are | nonpolar substances that repel water molecules |
One mole (mol) of glucose (molecular mass = 180 daltons) is | 180 kilograms of glucose |
The molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol. Which of the following procedures should you carry out to make a 1 M solution of glucose? | Dissolve 180 g of glucose in 0.8 L of water, and then add more water until the total volume of the solution is 1 L |
a strong acid like HCL | ionizes completely in an aqueous solution |
Which of the following ionizes completely in solution and is considered to be a strong base (alkali) | NaOH |
A 0.01 M solution of a substance has a pH of 2. What can you conclude about this substance | it is a strong acid that ionizes completely in water |
What is the pH of a solution with a hydroxyl ion [OH-] concentration of 10-12 M? | pH 2 |
What is the pH of a 1 millimolar NaOH solution? | pH 11 |
which of the following solutions would require the greatest amount of base to be added to bring the solution to a neutral pH | gastric juice at pH 2 |
what is the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution of a pH 8 | 10^(-8) M |
which of the following statement is true about buffer solutions | they maintain a relatively constant pH when either acids or bases are added to them |
Buffers are substances that help resist shifts in pH by | releasing H+ to a solution when acids are added |
research indicates that acid precipitation can damage living organisms by | buffering aquatic systems such as lakes and streams |
Consider two solutions: solution X has a pH of 4; solution Y has a pH of 7. From this information, we can reasonably conclude that | the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution X is 1,000 times as great as the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution Y |
If a solution has a pH of 7, this means that | the concentration of H+ ions in the water equals the concentration of OH- ions in the water |
CO2 is a readily soluble in water, according to the equation CO2+H2O > H2CO3. Carbonic acid is a weak acid. Respiring cells release CO2 into the bloodstream. what will be the effect on pH of blood as it first comes in contact with respiring cells | blood pH will decrease slightly |
a beaker contains 100mL of NaOH solution at pH=3. A technician carefully pours unto the beaker 10mL of HCL at pH=1. Which of the following statements correctly describes the result of this mixing | the pH of the beaker's contents falls |
Equal volumes (5 mL) of vinegar from a freshly opened bottle are added to each of the following solutions. After complete mixing, which of the mixtures will have the highest pH? | 100 mL of household cleanser containing 0.5 M ammonia |
Increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations might have what effect on seawater? | seawater will become more acidic, and carbonate concentrations will decrease |
How would acidification of seawater affect marine organisms? | acidification would decrease dissolved carbonate concentrations and hunder growth of corals and shell-building animals |
If the cytoplasm of a cell is at pH 7, and the mitochondrial matrix is at pH 8, this means that | the concentration of H+ ions is tenfold higher in the mitochondrial matrix than in the cytoplasm |
Based on your knowledge of the polarity of water molecules, the solute molecule depicted here is most likely | positively charged |

Which of the following graphs correctly describes what will happen to the temperature of the water and the methanol? | graph with methanol and water both going up, methanol is on top at a faster rate |
which of these molecules would be soluble in water | The one with only OHs and Hs |
Many mammals control their body temperature by sweating. Which property of water is most directly responsible for the ability of sweat to lower body temperature? | the absorption of heat by the breaking of hydrogen bonds |
