What is the typical way a solid would turn to a liquid and then to a gas?

A. Vaporizing, then melting

B. Melting, then freezing

C. Vaporizing, then freezing

D. Melting, then vaporizing

Answer Explanation:

A solid turns into a liquid by melting, and a liquid turns into gas by vaporization.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: Every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on this evidence, what possible conclusion can be drawn about ASD?

    A. ASD may be lethal.

    B. ASD may be genetic.

    C. ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures,

    D. No conclusion can be drawn based on this evidence.

    Answer Explanation

    The evidence says that every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). All of these children have genetic commonalities. Therefore, ASD may be genetic.

    The evidence does not mention whether the children died from ASD. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn that ASD may be lethal. Furthermore, the sample size of the evidence is much too small to suggest that ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures.

  • Q #2: A chemistry experiment is performed to determine the effect of a nonvolatile solute on the boiling point of water. Three trials are performed in which 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg of salt are added to 500 mL of distilled water. Each solution is heated on a hot plate, and the elevated boiling points are recorded. Determine the dependent and independent variables in this question.

    A. The independent variable is the amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water boils.

    B. The independent variable is the amount of water, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water boils.

    C. The independent variable is the temperature at which the water boils, and the dependent variable is the amount of salt.

    D. The Independent variable is the amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the amount of water.

    Answer Explanation

    In a scientific experiment, the dependent variable is the condition that is being tested and measured. The independent variable is the condition that is being changed or controlled. In this example, the amount of salt is varied, and the boiling point of water is measured. Therefore, the independent variable is the amount of salt, and the dependent variable is the temperature at which the water bolls.

  • Q #3: What types of reaction is Cu (s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)?

    A. Single replacement

    B. Double replacement

    C. Synthesis

    D. Decomposition

    Answer Explanation

    This is a single replacement reaction in which copper replaces silver. The copper combines with the nitrate ions, and the silver precipitates out. Single replacement reactions have the general form of

    A + BC AC + B. Double replacement reactions have the general form of AB + CD AD + CB. Synthesis reactions have the general form of A + B AB. Decomposition reactions have the general form AB A+B.
