She wants you to explain how the antacids will make her feel better. What do you tell her? A) Antacids dilute the solution, therefore lowering the pH. B) Antacids are bases and can take up H+ thereby reducing the acidity of the solution. C) Antacids are bases and by definition can take up OHthereby increasing the acidity of the solution. D) Antacids contain mostly water and so they neutralize the solution. Answer: B Explanation: Antacids are bases and by definition can absorb H+ out of a solution.

Which of the following would explain the movement of the water? A) surface tension B) cohesion C) adhesion D) Both cohesion and adhesion. Answer: D Explanation: Both cohesion and adhesion explain the movement of water through a paper towel. Cohesion is holding the water molecules together within the droplet. The water molecules are attracted to the paper which is adhesion. Section: 02.03 Topic: Chemistry; Chemistry of Water Bloom's: 3.

Select all that apply. A) The atomic number of phosphorus is 30.794. B) Phosphorus has 15 protons. C) Phosphorus has 30.794 electrons. D) Phosphorus has a complete valence shell. E) Phosphorus will form chemical bonds with other elements. Answer: B, E The atomic number of phosphorus is 15. This means it has 15 protons (15 positive charges) and therefore 15 electrons. The first two electron shells would be full but its valence shell would be incomplete with 5 out of 8 electrons and therefore it will form chemical bonds with other elements. Section: 02.01 Topic: Chemical Elements Bloom's: 3.

A) The longer the half-life, the more energy emitted by the particles. B) The longer the half-life, the less energy emitted by the particles. C) Radioisotopes of the same element must emit the same amount of energy in their emissions and decay at the same rate. D) Adjusted for time, radioisotopes emit the same amount of energy in their emissions. E) Energy and half-life are not directly related. Answer: E Explanation: Energy and half-life are not directly related. Section: 02.01 Topic: Chemistry; Chemical Elements Bloom's: 3.

How is oxygen-18 different from the typical oxygen atom described in the periodic table? Select all that apply. A) Oxygen-18 is an isotope. B) Oxygen-18 has 10 additional protons. C) Oxygen-18 has 2 additional neutrons. D) Oxygen-18 has a full valence shell and is therefore nonreactive. E) Oxygen-18 has more protons and fewer neutrons than a typical oxygen atom. Answer: A, C Oxygen-18 is an isotope of oxygen. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons. A typical oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 (8 protons + 8 neutrons), oxygen 18 would still have 8 protons (proton number does not change) but it would have 10 neutrons.
