Radioactivity
• Which of the following equations represents
a nuclear fission reaction?
• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.
• Answer – A
The equation in choice A shows one large nucleus
disintegrating into two smaller atomic nuclei, so choice A is correct. Choices
B and D are incorrect because the reactions involve radioactive decay, not
fusion. Choice C is incorrect because the equation represents a nuclear
fusion reaction, not fission. Four smaller nuclei fuse together to produce one
larger atomic nucleus.
Phase Change
• The diagram shows the motion of some
aluminum atoms before and after a phase
change. What phase change has occurred?
• A. condensation
• B. freezing
• C. vaporization
• D. melting
• Answer - B
Phase Change
• Some ice crystals are released from the space
shuttle into the near vacuum of space. Solar
radiation causes a phase change. Which path
indicated in the diagram BEST illustrates what
happens to the ice crystals?
•
•
•
•
A. AB
B. CD
C. EF
D. GH
• Answer – A
(see next slide for explanation)
Phase Change
• In space, the pressure is essentially zero and constant.
The path in the phase diagram must be at such a low
pressure that an increase in temperature from incoming
solar radiation will cause a phase change from solid to
vapor. This means choice A is correct. Choice B is
incorrect because the pressure is too high. This path
would occur at normal atmospheric pressure. Choices C
and D are incorrect. The temperature does not remain
constant while the pressure changes in the near vacuum
of space.
Acids and Bases
• The strip chart shows the pH of some
common substances. Which substance is
basic?
• A. lemon juice
• B. rainwater
• C. pure water
• D. washing soda
• Answer - D
Acids and Bases
• Which of the following substances, when
dissolved in water, will turn red litmus paper
blue?
• A. KOH
• B. NaCl
• C. H2O
• D. H2SO4
• Answer – A
Choice A is the correct answer. Potassium hydroxide
(KOH) contains the hydroxide ion (OH−). This ion will accept a proton (H+),
so it is basic and will turn red litmus paper blue. Choice B is incorrect
because NaCl is a neutral salt. Water is neutral as well, so choice C is
incorrect. Choice D is incorrect because H2SO4 is a strong acid. It will turn
blue litmus paper red.
Acids and Bases
• Borax detergent is dissolved in water. The
solution turns red litmus paper blue and
