Question 1 0.625 out of 0.625 points

Molecules are so tiny we don’t measure their weight in pounds. Instead, we use
“atomic mass units” (amu). The mass of a molecule of Nitrogen gas (N 2) is 28 amu.
This is

Selected
Answer: the number of protons + neutrons in the 2 Nitrogen atoms that make
up a molecule

Answers: the number protons in a Nitrogen atom

the number of protons + neutrons in a Nitrogen atom

the number of protons + neutrons in the 2 Nitrogen atoms that make

up a molecule

Question 2 0.625 out of 0.625 points

A tiny volume of gas is made up of 10 Nitrogen (N

2) molecules. A Nitrogen
molecule’s mass is 28. What is the mass of the tiny air volume?

Selected Answer: 280

Answers: 280

100

28
Question 3 0.625 out of 0.625 points

Excluding minor chemical components, the composition of DRY AIR is roughly.

Selected Answer: 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen

Answers: 80% Oxygen and 20% Nitrogen

80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen

80% Oxygen and 20% Hydrogen

Question 4 0.625 out of 0.625 points

Consider a tiny volume of DRY AIR that is at the same pressure and temperature as
the gas in question 2. It contains 8 Nitrogen molecules. According to Avogadro’s
Law, how many molecules of Oxygen does it have?

Selected Answer: 2 Oxygen molecules

Answers: 2 Oxygen molecules

4 Oxygen molecules

8 Oxygen molecules

Question 5 0.625 out of 0.625 points

What is the mass of this tiny bubble of DRY AIR? Molecular masses are 28 for
Nitrogen and 32 for Oxygen.

Selected Answer: (8 X 28)  + (2 x 32)   =   288

Answers: 28 + 32   =   60
(80 X 28)  + (20 x 32)   =   2880

(8 X 28)  + (2 x 32)   =   288

Question 6 0.625 out of 0.625 points

The tiny volume of dry air floats over a lake. Water molecules are
evaporating from the lake’s surface.
Assume our air bubble stays AT THE SAME PRESSURE AND
TEMPERATURE. What will happen to it when it picks up one H2O
molecule?
 Recall it starts out with 8 molecules of Nitrogen and 2 of Oxygen.

Selected
Answer: The total number of molecules must remain the same. So it will "kick
out" a molecule of Oxygen or Nitrogen to make room for the H2O
molecule

Answers:
It will expand to make room for the water moelcule  (its volume wil
increase)

It will have 8 molecules of Nitrogen, 2 of Oxygen and 1 of H 2O

The total number of molecules must remain the same. So it will "kick
out" a molecule of Oxygen or Nitrogen to make room for the H2O
molecule

Question 7 0.625 out of 0.625 points

A tiny volume of HUMID AIR has 7 molecules of Nitrogen, 2 of Oxygen PLUS 1

molecule of H2O.

Molecular masses are 28 for Nitrogen, 32 for Oxygen, and 18 for H2O.

The mass of the humid air volume is

Selected Answer: (7 X 28)  +  (2 x 32)  +  (1 X 18) =     278

Answers: 28 + 32  +18 =    78
(79 X 28)  +  (20 x 32)   + 18 =    2870

(7 X 28)  +  (2 x 32)  +  (1 X 18) =     278

Question 8 0.625 out of 0.625 points

Recall that density is mass per volume.

Compare two equal volumes of DRY AIR and HUMID AIR.

Which is more buoyant (less dense)?

Selected Answer: humid air

Answers: dry air

humid air

dry air and humid air have the same density

Question 9 0.625 out of 0.625 points

Humid air ________ in dry air that is at the same pressure and temperature

Selected Answer: rises

Answers: rises

sinks

stays at the same altitude

Question 10 0.625 out of 0.625 points

At the same pressure and temperature, humid air rises in dry air because

Selected Both reasons A and B

Answer:

Answers:
The molecular mass of H 2O is  less than the molecular mass of
Nitrogen or Oxygen gas

Two equal volumes of gas have the same total number of molecules
(Avogadro’s Law)

Both reasons A and B

Question 11 0.625 out of 0.625 points

 When water evaporates

Selected
Answer: the weak hydrogen bonds among individual water molecules
break

Answers:
In each water molecule, the bond between oxygen and nitrogen
break

the weak hydrogen bonds among individual water molecules

break

both types of bonds break

Question 12 0.625 out of 0.625 points

 As a volume of humid air rises, it expands because pressure decreases. This
causes its temperature to  _________
 Selected Answer: decrease

Answers: increase

decrease

Question 13 0.625 out of 0.625 points

 When temperature in the rising air “bubble” is low enough, water starts to

Selected Answer: condense

Answers: evaporate

precipitate

condense

Question 14 0.625 out of 0.625 points

 A volume of humid air begins to condense at a definite altitude. For this reason,
many clouds

Selected Answer: are flat on the bottom

Answers: have puffy shapes

are flat on the bottom

bring rain

Question 15 0.625 out of 0.625 points

Breaking bonds requires energy. Therefore, evaporation ________ energy. When

you sweat, the energy for evaporation comes from your body heat!

Selected Answer: absorbs

Answers: absorbs

releases

Question 16 0.625 out of 0.625 points
