  • Q3
    Diffusion is much slower in liquids than in gases because
    liquids are at much colder temperatures.
    the particles in a liquid are closer together.
    liquids have surface tension.
    liquid particles weigh more.

  • Q4
    Water striders (bugs) can walk across the surface of a pond because of water's
    incompressibility
    surface tension
    capillary action
    density

  • Q5
    What effect does soap have on the surface tension of water?
    It decreases the surface tension of water.
    Surface tension cannot be altered.
    It has no effect on the surface tension of water.
    It increases the surface tension of water.

  • Q6
    Why do hot liquids diffuse faster than cold liquids?
    The particles in a hot liquid move faster.
    The particles in a hot liquid experience greater intermolecular forces.
    The particles in a hot liquid have a greater surface tension.
    The particles in a hot liquid are relatively incompressible.

  • Q7
    As a liquid is vaporizing, the particles
    cluster together
    decompose
    slow down
    spread out

  • Q8
    As a liquid is freezing, the particles
    cluster together
    decompose
    speed up
    spread out
    60s
  • Q9
    Evaporation is said to be a cooling process because
    evaporating molecules give off heat when they evaporate.
    evaporating molecules are more attracted to on another.
    evaporating molecules absorb heat when they evaporate.
    evaporating molecules escape from the surface of a nonboiling liquid.

  • Q10
    Which of the following best accounts for water's ability to climb up a piece of paper?
    The water diffuses through the solid paper, allowing water to climb the paper.
    The density of the water allows it to climb the paper.
    The rate at which water evaporates allows it to climb the paper.
    The attraction of the water molecules for the paper allows it to climb the paper.

    an indefinite shape, but a definite volume.
    a definite shape, but an indefinite volume.
    a definite shape and a definite volume.
    and indefinite shape and an indefinite volume.

  • Q12
    According to the Kinetic-Molecular Theory, particles in a solid
    move around freely and randomly.
    do not move.
    are not bound in fixed positions but move constantly.
    are packed together in an orderly arrangement.

  • Q13
    Which term refers to a noncrystalline solid?
    amorphous
    deposition
    sublimation
    adhesion

  • Q14
    Which of the following changes of state are endothermic (absorb energy)?
    freezing and boiling
    melting and boiling
    freezing and condensing
    melting and condensing
    60s
  • Q15
    For a solid sample of matter, if the shape of the solid is changed, how does the volume change?
    It does not change.
    It decreases,
    It increases.
    It depends on how the shape is changed (could increase or decrease).
