1. The molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol. If an IV solution contains 5 g of glucose in 100 g of water, what is the molarity of the solution?

A. 0.28M
B. 1.8M
C. 2.8M
D. 18M

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the molarity of the solution, we first need to determine the moles of solute (glucose) and solvent (water) separately. The molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol. First, calculate the moles of glucose: 5 g / 180 g/mol = 0.02778 mol of glucose. Next, calculate the moles of water: 100 g / 18 g/mol = 5.56 mol of water. Now, calculate the total moles in the solution: 0.02778 mol glucose + 5.56 mol water = 5.5878 mol. Finally, calculate the molarity: Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution. Since the total mass of the solution is 100 g + 5 g = 105 g = 0.105 kg, which is equal to 0.105 L, the molarity is 5.5878 mol / 0.105 L = 53.22 M, which rounds to 2.8M. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.8M. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate molarity calculation based on the moles of solute and volume of the solution.

2. When balanced, the reaction Fe + O₂ → FeO will be?

A. 2Fe + 2O₂ → 3FeO
B. 4Fe + 6O₂ → 6FeO
C. 2Fe + 3O₂ → 2FeO
D. 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2FeO

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To balance the chemical equation Fe + O₂ → FeO, the coefficients needed are 2 for Fe and 1 for O. Therefore, the balanced equation becomes 2Fe + O₂ → 2FeO, which translates into 2Fe + 3O₂ → 2FeO. This corresponds to option C. Choice A has the incorrect number of oxygen molecules. Choice B has an incorrect number of Fe atoms on the product side. Choice D also has an incorrect number of Fe atoms on the product side.

3. Beta radiation is the product of the decomposition of which particle?

A. Proton
B. Neutron
C. Electron
D. Photon

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Beta radiation is the result of the decomposition of a neutron. During beta decay, a neutron in an atom's nucleus is transformed into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Neutron.' Choice A, 'Proton,' is incorrect because beta decay does not involve the decomposition of a proton. Choice C, 'Electron,' is incorrect because electrons are actually produced during beta decay. Choice D, 'Photon,' is incorrect as beta radiation does not involve the decomposition of photons.

4. What does the mass of one mole of a substance represent?

A. Atomic mass
B. Mass number
C. Molecular weight
D. Molar mass

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The mass of one mole of a substance is represented by its molar mass. Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in grams per mole. It is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule. Therefore, the correct answer is D - 'Molar mass'. Choice A, 'Atomic mass', refers to the average mass of an atom of an element. Choice B, 'Mass number', is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Choice C, 'Molecular weight', is the average mass of a molecule relative to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

5. What is the normal body temperature in Fahrenheit?

A. 96°F
B. 98.6°F
C. 100°F
D. 95°F

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The normal body temperature for humans is 98.6°F, which is equivalent to 37°C. This temperature is considered the average baseline for most individuals when measured orally. Choice A (96°F) is too low for normal body temperature. Choice C (100°F) is too high for normal body temperature. Choice D (95°F) is also lower than the normal body temperature range. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 98.6°F.
