1. The density of a liquid is determined by successively weighing 25, 75, 100, and 125 mL
of the liquid in a 250-mL beaker at 25°C. If the volume of the liquid is plotted along the
horizontal axis, and the total mass of beaker plus liquid is plotted on the vertical axis:
a. the x intercept, is the total mass of beaker at specific weight of liquid
b. the y intercept, is the weight of the empty beaker
c. the slope of the line is the density at specific volume of liquid
d. the slope of the line is the density at specific weight of liquid
e. the graph is linear, with positive slope indicating the density of liquid at 25°C

13. Many industries use engines in their factories for production purposes. When the power
of engine is increased, fuel is mix with air and is compressed by the pistons of the engine.
When the fuel-air mixture is under high pressure, it is ignited and sudden reduction in
pressure increases the volume of the air, pushing the piston into the cylinder. This process
repeats continuously, creating energy for the machine’s operation. What law depicts this
mechanism on the usage of internal combustion engines?
a. Boyle’s law
b. Charles’ law
c. Gay-Lussac’s law
d. Avogadro’s law
e. Graham’s law
16. A real gas most closely approaches the behavior of an ideal gas under conditions of
a. high P and low T
b. low P and high T
c. low P and T
d. high P and T
e. STP
20. Determine the shapes of the central atoms in the structure on the right. Note: Lone pairs
are not shown.
a. linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral
b. trigonal planar, tetrahedral, bent
c. bent, linear, tetrahedral
d. trigonal planar, square planar, tetrahedral
e. square planar, bent, tetrahedral
24. What is the molarity of aqueous salt solution containing 29 g of solute dissolved in 500 mL
of solvent?
a. 0.1 molar
b. 0.25 molar
c. 0.50 molar
d. 1.0 molar
e. 1.25 molar
25. What will you do if you want to lower the concentration of your prepared aqueous solution?
a. Add more solute
