Question 1

Which of the following best describes the Law of Conservation of Mass as established by Antoine Lavoisier?

Accepted Answer

The total mass of substances present after a chemical reaction is equal to the mass before the reaction.

Question 2

The term 'atom' comes from the Greek word 'atomos,' which means:

Accepted Answer

cannot be cut

Question 3

A log burns completely in a campfire, and the mass of the ash is much less than the mass of the original log. According to the law of conservation of mass, what happened to the matter?

Accepted Answer

The matter that composed the log reacts to form gases that are released into the air.

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT a postulate of Dalton’s Atomic Theory?

Accepted Answer

Atoms can be created or destroyed in chemical reactions.

Question 5

Which chemical law is illustrated by the following data: Compound A contains 1.333 g of oxygen per gram of carbon, whereas compound B contains 2.666 g of oxygen per gram of carbon?

Accepted Answer

The law of multiple proportions

Question 6

If compound A has an equal number of oxygen and carbon atoms, and compound B contains twice as much oxygen per gram of carbon, what can we conclude about compound B?

Accepted Answer

The second compound must have twice as many oxygen atoms per carbon atom as the first compound.

Question 7

Which statement best captures one of the differences between the law of definite proportions and the law of multiple proportions?

Accepted Answer

The law of definite proportions applies to two or more samples of the same compound, while the law of multiple proportions applies to two different compounds containing the same two elements.

Question 8

Which of the following best describes how Mendeleev arranged the elements in his early periodic table?

Accepted Answer
