State the problem associated with sulfur dioxide in the atomosphere?The sulfur dioxide can react with nitrous oxides to form acidic particulatesThe sulfur dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to form acidic solutions (acid rain)The sulfur dioxide is poisonous because it reduces the blood\'s capacity to carry oxygenThe sulfur dioxide causes increased levels of radicals in the atmosphere leading to the destruction of the ozone layerQuestion 3 of 22 Loading... 4. Explain why nitrogen gas, N₂, is a gas at room temperatureNitrogen has a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular forces that require little energy to overcomeNitrogen has a giant covalent structure with many strong covalent bonds which require a lot of energy to overcomeNitrogen has a giant covalent structure with many weak covalent bonds which require little energy to overcomeNitrogen has a simple molecular structure with strong intermolecular forces that require a lot of energy to overcomeQuestion 4 of 22 Loading... 5. How does sulfur dioxide form in car engines?When the petrol combusts the sulfur dioxide impurities are left behindPetrol includes the impurity sulfur, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedAcid rain causes some sulfur impurities to get into the car engine, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedThe metals the car is made from contain some impurities of sulfur and when the engine heats up, some sulfur dioxide is formedQuestion 5 of 22 Loading... 6. Do larger molecules have higher or lower boiling points than smaller molecules?It depends on which atoms are presentLowerSize doesn\'t affect boiling pointHigherQuestion 6 of 22 Loading... 7. Explain why carbon monoxide is dangerous to humansIt is poisonous because it reduces the capacity of the blood to carry oxygenIt is poisonous because it poisons the bloodstreamIt is poisonous because it blocks blood flowIt is poisonous because it blocks surfaces for gas exchangeQuestion 7 of 22 Loading... 8. A student names this molecule 2-ethylpentane. Which of these statements is true about the student's naming of the molecule?The student is wrong. The correct name is 3-methylhexane.The student is wrong. The correct name is 4-methylhexane.The student is correct and deserves a tuck-shop voucher.The student is wrong. The correct name is 1-methyl-1-ethylbutane.Question 8 of 22 Loading... 9. What is crude oil?An oily liquidA mixture of alcoholsA mixture of alkanesA mixture of hydrocarbonsQuestion 9 of 22 Loading... 10. Explain how crude oil is separated into fractionsCrude oil is separated by fractional distillation. Crude oil is heated and the oil evaporates. It then goes into the tower. As the vapours rise up the tower the temperature rises. Different sized fractions condense at different heights because they have different boiling points. Smaller molecules condense high up in the tower. Larger molecules condense low down in the tower. Then the fractions are collected.Crude oil is separated by fractional distillation.
