Chemistry
A. Water
B. Liquid nitrogen
C. Ethanol
D. Dry ice (solid CO2)
Answer: Dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes at low temperature and is used as a refrigerant.
Physics
A. F = ma
B. F = mv
C. F = m/a
D. F = v/a
Answer: Newton\'s Second Law states force equals mass times acceleration.
Chemistry
A. Zn + CuSO4 to ZnSO4 + Cu
B. 2Na + Cl2 to 2NaCl
C. CaO + H2O to Ca(OH)2
D. 2Al + Fe2O3 to Al2O3 + 2Fe
Answer: The thermite reaction between aluminium and iron oxide produces molten iron used in welding.
Physics
A. 11.2 km/s
B. 7.9 km/s
C. 15.5 km/s
D. 3.2 km/s
Answer: Escape velocity from Earth is approximately 11.2 km/s.
Chemistry
A. I > Br > Cl > F
B. F > Br > Cl > I
C. Cl > F > Br > I
D. F > Cl > Br > I
Answer: Electronegativity decreases down a group, so F > Cl > Br > I.
Physics
A. 15 kg m/s
B. 8 kg m/s
C. 1.67 kg m/s
D. 0.6 kg m/s
Answer: Momentum p = mv = 5 x 3 = 15 kg m/s.
Physics
A. Newton
B. Joule
C. Pascal
D. Watt
Answer: Newton is the SI unit of force, defined as kg m/s2.
Chemistry
A. -2
B. +1
C. 0
D. -1
Answer: In peroxides such as H2O2, oxygen has an oxidation state of -1 instead of the usual -2.
Physics
A. Speed
B. Mass
C. Force
D. Energy
Answer: Force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector.
Chemistry
A. 2
B. 3
C. 8
D. 4
Answer: From 2H2 + O2 to 2H2O, 4 moles of H2 produce 4 moles of H2O since the ratio is 1:1.
Physics
A. 9.8 m/s2
B. 8.9 m/s2
C. 10.2 m/s2
D. 11.0 m/s2
Answer: Standard acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.
Physics

Answer: Work W = F x d = 10 x 5 = 50 J.
Chemistry
A. NaCl
B. Na2CO3
C. NaHCO3
D. NaNO2
Answer: Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is used as a preservative in cured meats to prevent bacterial growth.
Chemistry
A. Hydrogen
B. Oxygen
C. H2S
D. SO2
Answer: Copper reduces concentrated H2SO4, producing SO2 gas along with CuSO4 and water.
Physics
A. Opposite to the direction of motion
B. In the direction of motion
C. Perpendicular to the surface
D. Randomly
Answer: Friction always opposes the relative motion between surfaces.
Physics
A. Zero acceleration
B. Constant velocity
C. Centripetal acceleration
D. Tangential acceleration
Answer: Circular motion requires centripetal acceleration toward the center.
Chemistry
A. Ethanol
B. Chloroform
C. Acetone
D. Iodoform
Answer: Iodoform (CHI3) has mild antiseptic properties and is used on wounds and burns.
Chemistry
A. CH3OH
B. CH3COOH
C. CH3CHO
D. CH3OCH3
Answer: Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) has an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl groups, characterizing an ether.
Physics
A. KE = 1/2 mv2
B. KE = mgh
C. KE = mv
D. KE = ma2
Answer: Kinetic energy equals one-half times mass times velocity squared.
Chemistry
A. Li
B. B
C. C
D. Be
Answer: Be has a filled 2s orbital, making it more stable and harder to ionize than adjacent elements.
