A solution with a pH of ______ has the lowest concentration of hydrogen ions.

12

Hydrogen ion concentration decreases as pH increases. As the pH moves closer to 14, the hydrogen ion concentration decreases.

A solution with pH = 5 is _______ than a solution with pH = 7.

100 times more acidic

The pH scale is logarithmic, which means that each step on the scale represents a 10-fold increase or decrease in hydrogen ion concentration. A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral, whereas a solution with a pH of 5 is 10 × 10 = 100 times more acidic in comparison.

Based on the carbon atom pictured in the image, how many valence electrons does carbon possess?

4

The valence electrons are found in the outermost shell of an atom. The shells of an atom fill in a characteristic manner, with the first shell filling with two electrons. Since carbon has six total electrons, the remaining four electrons will be placed in the outermost shell.

Based on the image shown, what can you conclude about water molecules?

Water molecules are held together by polar covalent bonds.

Water is a compound containing two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen-hydrogen bond is a polar covalent bond, since electrons are not equally shared between oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

Biomolecules, also known as macromolecules, are

large organic molecules that play important biological functions in cells.

Biomolecules, or macromolecules, carry out many important functions in cells. Most organisms share a common set of monomers that are used to build biomolecules.

Carbon can form many different kinds of complex molecules because

one carbon atom can bond with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

A carbon atom has four valence electrons in its outer shell, which allows it to bond with up to four other atoms. This allows carbon to form chains and more complex, branched molecules.

H2O and CH4 are both examples of

molecules.

Atoms that form covalent bonds are called molecules. Water (H2O) and methane (CH4) are also called compounds because they contain two or more atoms found in a fixed ratio.

Hydrogen bonds are

weak chemical bonds that hold separate molecules together.

Hydrogen bonds form between molecules, such as between the hydrogen and oxygen ends of neighboring water molecules, to help stabilize a given volume of these molecules.

In Miller's experiment, he mixed four gases and exposed them to an electrical spark. The amino acids that formed were the ________ of the chemical reaction.

products

The molecules that form during a chemical reaction are the products. The reactants are the gases that underwent a chemical rearrangement.

In a covalent bond, atoms

Share electrons

Covalent bonds occur when two or more atoms share electrons. In ionic bonds, atoms gain or lose electrons.

In order to determine the atomic mass of an atom, one needs to know

the number of protons and neutrons.

When the number of protons and neutrons in an atom are added together, they provide the atomic mass of that atom.

Nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. What is the atomic number of nitrogen?

7

The atomic number is the number of protons that an atom possesses. This value may be found on the periodic table and is unique to each element.

Sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves well in water because it

has charges that allow it to interact with water.

Water is a polar molecule that interacts well with other substances with full and partial charges. In sodium chloride, the sodium ion has a full positive charge that interacts with the partial negative charges on oxygen atoms. The partially positively charged hydrogen atoms of the water molecule interact with the negative chloride ion.

The bio molecules that are responsible for transmitting and storing genetic information are

nucleic acids.

DNA and RNA store and pass on genetic information. These are examples of nucleic acids.

The elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

are composed of matter.

The chemical building blocks called elements are made of matter. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen cannot be compounds because they only consist of a single element.

The main difference between an acid and a base is that

acids donate hydrogen ions in water whereas bases accept hydrogen ions.

Acids donate hydrogen ions to lower the pH of a solution, whereas bases accept hydrogen ions to raise the pH.

An amino acid chain

ultimately folds into a three-dimensional shape.

Amino acids are monomers that link together to form a polymer, which is called a protein after it folds into its final three-dimensional shape.

Which of the following is an ion?

Na+

The positive sodium ion, Na+, is an ion. Any atom with a charge, positive or negative, is an ion.

Which of the following is correct about the properties of water at different temperatures?

Water molecules in ice are spaced farther apart from one another than water molecules in liquid.

Stable hydrogen bonds form between water molecules at cooler temperatures. Water molecules in ice are farther apart from one another than in liquid water, making liquid water denser than ice.

Which of the following is NOT a type of monomer?

DNA

DNA is a polymer made from nucleotide monomers. The remaining choices are monomers of carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Which of the following represents a polymer of amino acids?

Proteins

Polymers are made up of repeating units of monomers. Amino acids are the monomers used to make proteins.

enables genes to be expressed as proteins.

What are solutions with a pH of 7?

The pH scale is centered on 7 - meaning that a solution with a pH of 7 is perfectly neutral (neither acidic nor basic).

What does pH of 7 indicate about a substance quizlet?

A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. In general, a water with a pH < 7 is considered acidic and with a pH > 7 is considered basic.

Which aqueous solution is with pH 7?

pH=7: neutral solution.

What does a pH below 7 indicate quizlet?

On the pH scale, numbers less than 7 indicate a(n): acidic solution. On the pH scale, numbers less than 7 indicate an acidic solution.
