A) hexane
B) glucose
C) glutamic acid
D) dodecanoic acid
E) none of the above
Answer: D
5) Which of the following best explains the hydrogen bonding that occurs in water?
A) the average number of H-bonds formed by one water molecule is the same in liquid and
solid water, the only difference is the duration of the H-bond
B) the number of H-bonds formed by one water molecule is greater in liquid water than in
solid water
C) the structure of liquid water is best described as flickering clusters of H-bonds due to the
relative short duration of individual H-bonds
D) each water molecule is capable of forming 8 H-bonds: 2 from each lone pair of electrons
and 2 from each hydrogen
E) none of the above
Answer: C
6) Given the structure of a glucose molecule, which of the following explains the hydrogen
bonding between glucose and water?
A) H-bonds will form with glucose always being the H-bond donor
B) H-bonds will form with water always being the H-bond donor
C) each glucose molecule could H-bond with as many as 17 water molecules
D) due to the cyclic structure of glucose, H-bonding with water does not occur
E) none of the above

Chapter 2: The Matrix of Life: Weak Interactions in an Aqueous Environment
A) nitric acid
B) acetic acid
C) ammonia
D) citric acid
E) phosphoric acid
Answer: A
A) 1.5-3.0
B) 4.5-7.0
C) 5.5-9.0
D) 6.5-8.0
E) 7.5-10.0
Answer: D
A) acetic acid (pKa = 4.7) is stronger than lactic acid, (pKa = 3.9)
B) lactic acid, (pKa = 3.9) is weaker than all forms of phosphoric acid, (pKa = 2.1, 6.9 and
12.4)
C) since the pKa for conversion of the ammonium ion to ammonia is 9.25, ammonia is a
weaker base then the acetate ion
D) for carbonic acid with pKa values of 6.3 and 10.3, the bicarbonate ion is a stronger base
than the carbonate ion
E) none of the above
