  1. Question 1Recall

    The oxidation number is best described as

    • athe charge of an ion in a compound
    • bthe mass of an atom
    • cthe number of atoms
    • dthe boiling point
  2. Question 2Skills & concepts

    The prefix tetra- indicates how many atoms?

    • aFour
    • bTwo
    • cThree
    • dOne
  3. Question 3Strategic thinking

    In a balanced equation, changing a coefficient changes the

    • anumber of moles of that substance
    • bidentity of the substance
    • cformula of the compound
    • dcharge on the ion
  4. Question 4Strategic thinking

    The actual yield is usually less than the theoretical yield because

    • areactions are rarely perfectly efficient in practice
    • bthe calculation is always wrong
    • cmass is destroyed
    • dproducts are weightless
  5. Question 5Recall

    The mole ratio is the ratio of the number of moles between

    • atwo or more substances
    • btwo atoms only
    • cmass and volume
    • dheat and time
