It may also be expressed as I²R or V²/R.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. CnH2n-2
Explanation:
A triple bond reduces hydrogen count by four relative to an alkane.
The general formula becomes CnH2n-2.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Electric charge and energy in an electric field
Explanation:
A capacitor consists of separated conductors.
Its capacitance measures charge stored per unit potential difference.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. An atom or group responsible for characteristic organic reactions
Explanation:
Functional groups determine much of a molecule's chemistry.
Examples include hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Charge stored per unit potential difference
Explanation:
Capacitance is C=Q/V.
Its SI unit is the farad.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. Hydroxyl group, -OH
Explanation:
Alcohols contain an -OH bonded to a saturated carbon.
Their properties include hydrogen bonding.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. A region where magnetic forces act on magnets or moving charges
Explanation:
Magnetic fields are produced by magnets and moving charges.
Their direction is indicated by field lines.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Terminal carbonyl group, -CHO
Explanation:
An aldehyde has a carbonyl carbon bonded to at least one hydrogen.
The group is commonly written -CHO.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. A force perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field
Explanation:
Magnetic force is qvB sinθ in magnitude.
It changes direction of motion but does no work on the charge.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Internal carbonyl group, >C=O
Explanation:
A ketone carbonyl carbon is bonded to two carbon groups.
It occurs within the carbon skeleton.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Production of an emf by changing magnetic flux
Explanation:
Faraday's law links induced emf to the rate of magnetic-flux change.
Relative motion or changing current can produce induction.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Carboxyl group, -COOH
Explanation:
The carboxyl group combines carbonyl and hydroxyl functions.
Carboxylic acids can donate a proton.
