Question 1

Question
Which of the following makes up a molecule of water?
Answer
  • One atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen
  • One atom of hydrogen and one atom of sodium
  • Two atoms of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen
  • Two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen

Question 2

Question
Most of water's properties occur because it is:
Answer
  • A polar covalent bonded molecule
  • Made with oxygen
  • A polar ionic
  • Makes up 75% of the earth

Question 3

Question
Hydrogen bonds take place between the …
Answer
  • hydrogens of the water molecules
  • oxygen and oxygen of the water molecules
  • oxygen on one water molecule and the hydrogen of the other water molecule
  • oxygen and hydrogen of the same molecule

Question 4

Question
Which property of water is responsible for the variety of aquatic organisms throughout the various seasons?
Answer
  • adhesion
  • cohesion
  • High specific heat
  • Solid water is less dense than liquid water

Question 5

Question
Nuclear reactors can run into problems if the reactor and fuel rods get too hot. They will use water as a coolant to keep the reactor core at a proper temperature. What property of water is this demonstrating?
Answer
  • Cohesion
  • high specific heat
  • universal solvent
  • adhesion

Question 6

Question
A polar bond is created by unequally shared electrons. Nonpolar bonds are equally shared electrons. Which statement best explains why water will dissolve polar compounds and NOT non polar compounds?
Answer
  • Polar compounds are charged molecules with + and – ends. These charged areas will attract other charged areas of other molecules.
  • Polar and nonpolar are opposite molecules. Opposite molecules will dissolve opposites.
  • Polar molecules are like ice, they are very cold; nonpolar are warm
  • Ionic are the best to be dissolved because they have opposite charges.
