Q:

Which of the following is not an intensive property?

A) Weight B) Density
C) Refractive index D) Melting point
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Weight

Explanation:

An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system, if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is 100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.

Q:

Which phase change is an example of an exothermic process?

A) Liquid to Solid B) Gas to Solid
C) Gas to Liquid D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.

 

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

 

Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase. 

Liquid to Solid --- Freezing

Gas to Liquid --- Condensation

Gas to Solid --- Deposition 

are all examples of exothermic processes.

Q:

In general, which is the cause of a sea breeze?

A) Pressure B) Specific heat
C) Heat D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Specific heat

Explanation:

The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.

 

What is the cause of a sea breeze?

The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

Q:

Amino acids can be distinguished from one another by

A) type of bond between the R group and the rest of the molecule B) the number of R groups found on the amino acid molecules
C) the chemical properties of their R groups D) the chemical properties of the amino and carboxyl groups
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the chemical properties of their R groups

Explanation:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

 

Depending on the nature of the side chain groups, three classes of aminoacids can e distinguished:

1. Amino acids with H ond donor and acceptor groups.

Histidine, lysine, aspartic acid, threonine,...

2. Amino acids with donor grups only.

Arginine, tryptophan and cysteine.

3. Amino acids with acceptor groups only.

Asparagine and glutamine.
