ACTIVITY 2 (PHYSICAL SCIENCE)

Multiple Choice: Select the letter of the correct answer and write it in your answer sheet.

1.How does the structure of DNA influence its function?

A.DNA winds into a double helix, with hydrogen bonding between the bases of each strand like
the rungs of a ladder.
B.This structure enables DNA to coil so that the long molecule is compact and lots of
information can be stored in a small space.
C.The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in
the protein molecule.
D.The sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.
2.How does particle size affect the rate of chemical reaction?
A.By decreasing the particle size of a reactant, we are increasing its surface area.
B.The greater the surface area, the higher the chance of collisions, thus the faster the rate of
reaction.
C.The smaller the particle size the faster the reaction.
D.Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are
exposed to the reaction mixture.
3.What is the effect of concentration and particle size on the rate of reaction?
A.Increasing the concentration means there are more reactant particle in a given space
(volume).
B.This increases the chance that reactant particles will collide.
C.The increased frequency of collisions results in a faster rate of reaction.
D.If the size of a particle is small, the surface area will be more, and this increases the speed of
heterogeneous chemical reactions.
4. How does particle motion affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
A.Increasing the kinetic energy of reactant particles also means more of the reactant particles
will have the minimum amount of energy required to form products (ex. activation energy)
which leads to more successful collisions and therefore increases the reaction rate.
B.Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle.
C.For two chemicals react, their molecules have to collide with each other with sufficient energy.
D. A reaction will go faster under conditions where the particle size is as small as possible.
5.Why does an increase in concentration lead to an increase in the rate of the reaction in terms of
collisions?
A.Collision theory explains why most reaction rates increase as concentrations increase.
B. With an increase in the concentration of any reacting substance, the chances for
collisions between molecules are increased because there are more molecules per unit of
volume.
C. Concentration means the amount per unit volume of a reactant.
D. In general, the higher the reaction rate because of the larger number of collisions per unit
time.
6. What factors can affect the value of the activation energy of a reaction?
A.Nature of Reactants. In the case of ionic reactant, the value of (Ea) will be low because there
is an attraction between reacting species.
B.Effect of Catalyst.
C.Low activation energy results in faster responses.
D.Reactant concentration, the physical state of the reactants, and surface area, temperature,
and the presence of a catalyst are the four main factors that affect reaction rate.
7. What is an enzyme?
A. An inorganic substance added to food for better digestion.
B. An organic molecule that dissolves nutrients in the body.
C. A biomolecule that releases energy during chemical reactions.
D. A biomolecule that serves as catalyst in biological system.
8. Which of the following will lower the rate of reaction?
A. Adding an enzyme to the reaction.
B. Decreasing the temperature from 40oC to 10oC.
C. Breaking a chunk of calcium up into smaller pieces.
D. Increasing the amount of solute dissolved in solution
9. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a catalyst?
A. It participates in the reaction. C. It enhances the equilibrium rate.
 B. It activates equilibrium. D. It initializes the reaction.

10. What must happen before a chemical reaction can begin?

A. The activation energy must be exceeded.
B. The activation energy must be reached.
C. The concentration of reactant molecules must be reduced.
D. The concentrations of products and reactants must be equal.
